You might be wondering if what you’re feeling is “big enough” for therapy.
Here’s the truth: therapy isn’t only for when life completely falls apart—it’s also for when things just don’t feel right anymore.

Maybe you’re anxious and can’t pinpoint why.  Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same kinds of conflicts, or feeling distant from the people you love.  Maybe you look fine on the outside but feel exhausted, stuck, or unsure of who you are beneath all the roles you play.

Therapy is for anyone who wants to understand themselves more deeply, heal old patterns, or find new ways to connect and cope. It’s for the parts of you that are tired of surviving and are ready to start living differently.

At Be Found, we believe therapy is less about having a diagnosis and more about building safety, awareness, and connection. It’s about creating space where your story makes sense—and where hope, healing, and change are possible.

If you’re reading this and something inside you whispers maybe, that’s often your first step.

Not necessarily. You are always in control of what you share and when you share it.
We move at your pace, not ours.

For many people, talking about the past can feel intimidating—or even unnecessary at first. You might be coming to therapy for something happening right now: a relationship that feels disconnected, anxiety that won’t ease, or a pattern you can’t seem to change. And that’s a perfectly fine place to begin.

At Be Found, we start where you are. But part of our belief—and what we’ve seen time and time again—is that many of the struggles we face in adulthood are rooted in experiences from childhood. The ways we learned to feel safe (or not), to express emotion, to belong, or to protect ourselves often began long before we were aware of it.

We don’t explore the past to stay stuck there, but to understand how it continues to shape your present. As trust grows, we may gently look back together—not to assign blame or rehash pain, but to bring compassion, understanding, and healing to the parts of your story that still echo today.

Your childhood isn’t something we force you to revisit; it’s something we honor if and when it becomes meaningful to your healing. Sometimes the most powerful work happens not through memories, but through how you show up and reach for safety in the room right now.

So no, you never have to talk about your childhood—but we believe that understanding your story can help you find freedom in your present and hope for your future.

That’s more common than most people realize—and it makes sense that you might feel hesitant to try again. Maybe you didn’t feel seen or understood. Maybe you left sessions unsure what was actually changing. Or maybe it felt too surface-level, too fast, or just not the right fit.

At Be Found, we believe therapy should feel like a real relationship—one where you can exhale, be honest, and know that your story matters. Healing doesn’t happen through advice or quick fixes; it happens through safety, connection, and time. Sometimes, the work begins by healing the places where therapy itself once felt disappointing or even hurtful.

We also know that timing matters. Sometimes earlier therapy didn’t help because you weren’t ready yet, or life didn’t allow space for the deeper work. Sometimes it’s because the approach wasn’t aligned with what you actually needed. Our team specializes in developmental and relational trauma, which means we focus on the why underneath the struggle—not just the symptoms. We move at a pace that honors your nervous system, your boundaries, and your story.

Many of our clients have shared that they came to us after years of trying therapy elsewhere and feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected. They often describe the model we work in as being like nothing they’ve ever experienced—a kind of therapy that feels both deeply safe and profoundly human. It’s not about talking at your pain, but meeting it, holding it, and learning from it in relationship.

Trying again doesn’t erase what happened before—it builds on it. Every time you reach for help, even after being let down, that’s courage. And that courage is the very thing that makes healing possible.

It’s a good and honest question—one that almost everyone asks when they start.
And the truth is, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. How long therapy takes depends on why you’re coming, what you hope to heal or change, and how deep you’re ready (or able) to go.

Some people come to therapy to navigate a specific challenge or decision and may find clarity in a few months. Others come to unpack long-term patterns—like people-pleasing, emotional disconnection, anxiety, or relational trauma—and that work often takes more time. Healing doesn’t follow a straight line; it unfolds as safety grows.

At Be Found, we believe therapy should move at the pace of your nervous system, not a timeline. The goal isn’t to check boxes or reach perfection—it’s to build the kind of safety and awareness that allows real, lasting change to take root.

Many clients start with weekly sessions and, as they grow in stability and confidence, begin to space sessions further apart. Others choose to deepen the process through our intensive or workshop options. Together, we’ll keep checking in about what’s working, what’s shifting, and what you need.

You don’t have to commit to a set timeframe—just a willingness to start. Healing takes time, but it also gives time back: time to feel connected, grounded, and whole again.

Be Found Counseling is a private-pay practice, which means we do not bill insurance directly. Instead, clients pay for sessions at the time of service. We’re happy to provide a superbill—a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.

We understand that choosing to invest in therapy is a significant decision—emotionally and financially. We also know it can feel frustrating that something so essential to your well-being isn’t always covered the way it should be. Our decision not to work directly with insurance companies is intentional. It allows us to protect your privacy, provide the highest quality of care, and work in a way that honors your whole story—not just a diagnosis or a treatment code.

Insurance companies often require specific labels, session limits, and documentation that can shape how therapy is done. By staying independent, we can focus entirely on you: your pace, your needs, and your healing—not on meeting an insurance company’s criteria.

Many of our clients have found that this approach gives them more freedom and safety in their process. And we’re always glad to walk you through practical options—like using health savings accounts (HSA/FSA), asking about out-of-network benefits, or finding a rhythm of sessions that fits your financial situation.

Therapy is an investment, but it’s also a commitment to your own growth, healing, and long-term well-being—and we believe you’re worth that.

Absolutely—and it often does, in ways that are both subtle and profound.

Many of us come to therapy because we notice patterns in our relationships: maybe we keep choosing unavailable people, avoid conflict until it explodes, lose ourselves trying to keep the peace, or shut down when things get hard. Those patterns didn’t appear out of nowhere—they were shaped by our earliest experiences of safety, love, and belonging.

At Be Found, we believe that healing happens in relationship. That means therapy isn’t just about learning new communication skills or setting boundaries—it’s about experiencing a new kind of relationship, one built on trust, honesty, and safety. Within the therapy space, your nervous system gets to practice something it may have never fully experienced before: being seen, heard, and cared for without judgment or rejection.

Over time, that changes you. You begin to notice when you’re shrinking, overexplaining, or disconnecting—and you learn how to stay present instead of shutting down. You start to feel safe enough to ask for what you need, say no when you need to, and let people really know you.

Many clients tell us they’re surprised by how therapy ripples outward—transforming marriages, friendships, parenting, and even work relationships. When you experience secure connection in therapy, it becomes the blueprint for how you relate to others everywhere else.

You don’t have to.  Not knowing where to start is actually one of the most common—and most human—places to begin.

Many people come to therapy feeling unsure of what to say, what they’re feeling, or even why they’re there. You might just know that something feels off: you’re tired, stuck, anxious, disconnected, or carrying more than you can name. You might have spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you’ve lost touch with what you need.

At Be Found, you don’t have to have a polished story or a clear goal to belong here. Therapy isn’t about coming in with answers—it’s about creating space to discover them. We’ll start wherever you are, even if all you can say is, “I don’t know, but something isn’t working.”

Your therapist will help you begin to name what’s happening beneath the surface—the patterns, emotions, and body cues that may have been hard to notice or trust before. Sometimes the first session looks like untangling what’s been building; other times, it’s simply learning how to slow down and breathe again.

You don’t have to start perfectly. You just have to start honestly.  And we’ll walk with you from there.

Yes, we do. We know that healing doesn’t always fit neatly into your schedule, commute, or life season. That’s why we offer both in-person sessions at our Brentwood office and virtual sessions for clients across Tennessee. You can choose the format that feels safest and most supportive for you—or blend the two in a hybrid model.

Some clients love the grounding and connection of being physically in the room. Others find that meeting virtually allows them to stay more consistent, especially in busy or stressful seasons. Hybrid therapy offers the best of both worlds: the flexibility of online sessions with the option for deeper in-person work when it’s needed.

At Be Found, we approach virtual therapy with the same level of depth, safety, and attunement as in-person sessions. We know that relational and trauma work requires real connection—and that can absolutely happen through a screen when both client and therapist are intentional and present.

Many clients even find that being in their own familiar environment can make it easier to open up, regulate, or integrate what they’re learning. Whether you choose in-person, virtual, or a mix of both, our goal is the same: to create a space where you can be fully seen, supported, and found—wherever you are.
