Insight Counseling Centers exists to restore lives to wholeness - mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

To accomplish this important work we seek to…

• Provide excellent professionally licensed psychotherapy to any individual, couple or family in our community.
• Offer help and healing from a heart of compassion and personal faith that accepts and respects the beliefs of every individual with whom we work.
• Raise and provide financial support to help those who cannot otherwise afford care.

Insight Counseling Centers, formerly known as the Pastoral Counseling Centers of Tennessee, Inc., was formed in 1985 when a handful of visionary people from Vine Street Christian Church brought to fruition their dream of providing spiritually informed and psychologically sound counseling for the Nashville area. Now over 35 years later, we have grown to eight centers throughout Middle Tennessee and provide around 5,000 hours of counseling to individuals, couples, and families every year. In Spring of 2020, we added telehealth services to our counseling program and now serve clients in counties across the state of Tennessee.

In addition to counseling, we provide professional training opportunities and mental health awareness education.

Spiritually-integrated psychotherapy is a unique form of counseling that uses spiritual resources as well as psychological understanding for healing and growth. Our spiritually-integrative approach means that we treat the whole person, taking into account the client’s spiritual beliefs and faith tradition. Our therapists are specially trained and equipped to address spiritual concerns as well as mental and emotional issues. Spiritually-integrated psychotherapy is an interfaith discipline. Clients of all faith traditions, and those who claim no faith, are welcomed and accepted at Insight.

The work of Insight Counseling Centers is grounded in the compassionate and healing nature of God. We are called to embody God’s healing presence to people of all faith traditions and those who claim no faith tradition. This means we seek to:

• Meet each client, colleague, and student with compassion, respect, and honesty.
• Accept and include each person as a reflection of the rich diversity of God’s creation.
• Join with each client in their journey to wholeness, focusing on their needs, and going wherever their process of self-discovery and renewal leads.
• Provide for each client the highest professional standards through rigorous training, certification, licensure, and peer consultation.
