Join our anniversary events!

Insight Counseling Centers is pleased to announce its newly formed group, Insight Ambassadors of Rutherford County. The ambassadors have committed to represent Insight in their communities and to use their voices to help de‐stigmatize mental health.

Thirty-six years ago, a group of visionary people from Vine Street Christian Church set a plan in motion that led to the formation of Insight Counseling Centers, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to restoring lives to wholeness by providing spiritually-integrated psychotherapy to individuals, families, and couples in Tennessee. We are so grateful to Vine Street for their continued support of our mission, and we’re excited to announce that we are returning to a newly renovated counseling office in the church building!

We’re here for you. Insight is offering quality and compassionate mental health counseling services via teletherapy. Our therapists are available to help with anxiety, depression, grief & loss, trauma, and relationship issues, among others, or to assist you in processing the rapidly unfolding current events.

Insight Counseling Centers has opened a new location in Donelson. With this key addition, Insight will expand its reach and services to communities across Middle Tennessee.

At Insight Counseling Centers we strive to provide our clients with a diverse range of services to meet their needs. In that spirit, we are proud to announce that our Bilingual Psychologist, Dr. Adrianne McKeon, will be offering psychological evaluations in both English and Spanish.

Insight Counseling Centers is providing play therapy to Tusculum Elementary refugee students in grades one through four. Through creative art activities, Insight’s counselors will teach life skills like how to self-sooth to avoid disruptive outbursts and how to interpret social cues.

Beginning July 26th, we will see Nashville clients out of interim office space at Brook Hollow Baptist Church and Seton Lodge at Saint Thomas West Hospital for a period of about two years, after which we will return to new space at Vine Street.

Insight’s Director of Development & Marketing, Taylor Cochran, was live on Facebook with Williamson Source today, sharing about the #FranklinMood campaign for Mental Health Awareness Month.

I recently observed my 100th day with Insight Counseling Centers. Since January 3rd, I have been meeting with agency stakeholders including staff, board members, former board members, and people who were involved in the agency’s founding 32 years ago. During my onboarding period, the staff, board, and I have asked ourselves, “What can Insight do to better meet the needs of the Middle Tennessee community?" I’m excited to share a “sneak peek” of what you can expect from Insight in the near future.

Effective May 1, 2017, Insight Counseling Centers will transition to a centralized intake department for all locations. This department will be staffed by trained Interns and Volunteer Intake Practitioners. We believe this move best ensures exceptional care for all our clients.

Today we are remembering Dan Marshall, LMFT. Dan began with us as a practicum student at Trevecca Nazarene University, and after graduating, coordinated our Franklin office. He was a gentle and kind man, committed to serving in whatever ministry was before him. We are honored to have known and worked with him, and we will miss him. He blessed not only the lives of his clients, but our lives as well.

The Healing Trust supports Insight's mission of restoring lives to wholeness and our commitment to providing quality, compassionate care to all who come to us for help.
