About Counseling at InSight
Counseling That Is Part of Something Bigger
Most counseling practices operate alone: if you need medication or medical care, you are referred out and the threads never reconnect. Our counselors work in the same practice as our physicians and psychiatric providers, sharing one coordinated picture of your care.
We provide individual and group counseling for substance use, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and the ordinary heavy seasons of life that do not need a diagnosis to deserve support.
- One team, one plan: Your counselor and your providers stay in sync.
- Individual and group formats: Different tools for different stages.
- Trauma-informed, judgment-free: At your pace, every visit.
- Telehealth sessions available: Video counseling across Tennessee.
Who We Help
Who Counseling Helps
You do not need a crisis or a diagnosis to benefit. These are the people in our counselors’ offices.
Working Through Recovery
Counseling is half of medication-assisted treatment for a reason: it is where the rebuilding happens.
Anxiety and Depression
With or without medication, structured therapy moves the needle on both.
Heavy Seasons
Grief, divorce, burnout, big transitions. Ordinary life gets heavy, and support helps.
Relationship Strain
Communication, boundaries, and repair, worked on with a professional third party.
Trauma
Trauma-informed care that moves at your pace, coordinated with psychiatric treatment when helpful.
Alongside Psychiatric Care
Therapy plus medication outperforms either alone for most conditions. We build both into one plan.

Your Options
Ways to Work With Us
Counseling comes in several formats here, and most patients combine them differently at different stages.
Individual Counseling
One-on-One · Your Pace
Private sessions with a counselor matched to your goals and personality, structured around real skill-building rather than open-ended venting.
Weekly or Biweekly · In Person or Video
Group Counseling
Structured Support for Addiction Recovery
Facilitated groups where shared experience does work that one-on-one sessions cannot: perspective, accountability, and momentum.
Facilitated · Shared Momentum
Counseling Within MAT
Recovery Integrated
For patients in medication-assisted treatment, counseling is built into the program and coordinated directly with your medical team.
Built Into MAT · One Team

Therapy and Medication
When medication is part of the answer, your counselor and psychiatric provider work from the same chart and the same plan.
Coordinated · Evidence-Based
Telehealth Sessions
Video Counseling
Secure video sessions from anywhere in Tennessee, for follow-ups or entire courses of counseling when distance or schedules demand it.
Statewide · Secure
Our Care Process
Getting Started Is Simple
No gatekeeping, no long intake gauntlet. Four steps and you are working with someone.
1. Intake Conversation
A short conversation about goals, history, and fit, so we point you at the right format and the right counselor.
2. Matched to Your Counselor
Approach and personality matter in therapy. We match deliberately, and rematching is always allowed.
3. A Rhythm That Works
Weekly or biweekly, in person or by video, adjusted as you progress rather than set in stone.
4. Coordinated Care
If medication or medical treatment is part of your picture, your counselor and providers stay in sync automatically.

Setting the Record Straight
Common Hesitations About Counseling
Almost everyone hesitates before starting therapy. The usual reasons, answered honestly.
common myth
“Therapy is just paying someone to listen.”
Good therapy is structured skill-building with measurable change: tools for anxiety, patterns named and broken, hard conversations rehearsed. Listening is the medium, not the product.
common myth
“I should be able to handle this myself.”
You outsource your car to a mechanic and your taxes to software without shame. Minds are more complex than either, and getting skilled help with yours is competence, not weakness.
common myth
“Starting means years of weekly sessions.”
Many goals resolve in a focused season of work. The cadence and duration are set with you, revisited often, and always yours to change.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered
Have more questions? Call us at (615) 326-9918 to schedule a same-day appointment.
Do you take insurance for counseling?
Yes, most major plans and TennCare. We verify your benefits before your first session.
Individual or group: how do I choose?
The intake conversation sorts this out. Many patients do both at different stages, and there is no wrong door.
How often are sessions?
Typically weekly to start, moving to biweekly or as-needed as you progress.
Do I need to be a psychiatric or MAT patient to get counseling?
No. Counseling is a separate service provided at InSight. If medication ever becomes relevant, the rest of the team is down the hall.
Can sessions happen by video?
Yes. Telehealth counseling is available across Tennessee, for individual sessions especially.
Is counseling confidential?
Yes, protected by federal law, with the narrow safety exceptions every licensed counselor follows and explains up front.
Do you offer counseling for addiction specifically?
Yes. Substance use counseling is a core specialty and integrates directly with our medication-assisted treatment program.
How fast can I start?
Usually within the week. Call (615) 326-9918 and we will get your intake scheduled.
