Tiera Lynch, MS

Therapist

Tiera graduated from Walden University with her Masters of Science in Marriage, Family, and Couple Counseling. Her focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but she is open to other theories to find what best fits her clients and their needs. In CBT we would focus on understanding your thoughts and behaviors, and then process what can be done to challenge those negative thoughts and behaviors to become more positive.

There comes a time when we all need someone to listen to us and hear what we have to say. She desires to be that someone for you.

Therapist

Len earned his Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, and a Master’s in educational counseling from Northern Arizona University. He incorporates an integrative approach to various modalities of therapy. His initial approach is to gain an understanding of where the client needs assistance and to build a professional rapport for the client to be fulfilled socially, spiritually, physically, and emotionally.

Len uses three primary therapeutic counseling theories to facilitate the client in their search for happiness, and fulfillment. He likes to utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to change one’s distorted thinking patterns; this will help the client focus on the positive aspects and facilitate the individual to move into upward growth arenas. In addition, he uses an approach referred to Jungian therapy which touches on the aspects of spirituality, mind, body, and soul. The final therapeutic approach is referred to as Adlerian therapy. Within this modality, this will guide the client to begin looking at their life in a deeper sense such exploring the unconscious, and learning to build a life from where the client is at present day. Adlerian theory’s approach to therapy includes and understanding one’s lifestyle, relationships, and past experiences.

In summary, Len enjoys working with adolescents, adults, and couples. He is very empathetic, professional, easy-going, and will work diligently to help the client explore their life and what they want to change.

Clinical Staff (Nashville, TN)

Denissa Rogers-Giles, MS

Clinical Operations Manager, Nashville/Unlicensed Therapist

Since I was a young girl, I was always curious and interested in why people are and/or became who they were. I was always curious about people’s behaviors and mindsets, especially one of my younger brothers who was diagnosed with a mental health disorder at a young age. Being apart of the Black/ African american community in the late 1990s and early 2000s, mental health was not really known or talked about as much as it is today, so I took it upon myself to learn more and educate myself so I could also educate my family, friends, fellow community, as well as other minority groups not only on mental health but also the importance of mental health and how our mental health could affect our physical health and/or vise versa. I have been in the behavioral health field for 9 years and love it! I received a double Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice in 2015 from The Tennessee State University and in 2019, I received my Masters of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lipscomb University.

As a therapist, I love to walk alongside you during your self discovery journey of becoming your true authentic self. And on this journey of well being, one will learn the importance of self love, self care, boundary setting, effective communication, problem solving, emotional regulation, and  displaying your true authentic self in order to be “happy” in this world. And first things first, you MUST start with your mind, body, and spirit and I will like to assist you in every goal you set for yourself in a holistic way. 

I love to work with all populations of all ages but my passion is working with minorities of all ages. My therapeutic approach/ therapeutic techniques that I gravitate more towards are person centered, reality therapy, choice theory, Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), anger management, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, herbalism, aromatherapy, and creative arts. 

If you are ready to take control of your life, let’s start this journey together and vibe out. You are a lotus baby, you came out of the mud!

Jaden Tabb

Pre-Licensed Therapist

My role as your therapist is to provide unconditional positive support for you during your journey. I believe that therapy works best when my client has full autonomy in the session and can work collaboratively with me to develop achievable goals. I bring genuineness, compassion, and humor to my sessions. I often focus on mindfulness as a part of the work I do, as evidence continues to support its effectiveness as an approach to life and means of healing of the mind and heart.

I earned my Master’s of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University, and spent my graduate internship practicing counseling at Tennessee Prison Outreach Ministry, both here in Nashville, Tennessee. I have experience with clients undergoing major life transitions while they try to manage a variety of unwanted behaviors and thought patterns. I have specialized in working with clients who have anxiety, depression, trauma history, and/or addictive behaviors.

In this hyper-individualized culture it can be incredibly difficult to ask for help. Acknowledge that this takes courage and that you’ve already taken the first step. If you’re ready to make changes in your life or explore your inner landscape it would be my privilege to support that process as it unfolds.

I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Healthcare Administration from Angelo State University and am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Healthcare Administration from the University of Texas. When deciding which career path to pursue, I couldn’t deny my passion for helping others. I joined Imani Behavioral Health because of the company’s values and vision.

My favorite quote is: “I will love the light as it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows some the stars.” – OG Mandino
