Cara Lindell, LPC-MHSP, is a Licensed Professional Counselor – Mental Health Service Provider and National Board Certified Counselor based at The Counseling Center at Belle Meade United Methodist Church. She provides therapy for individuals and couples in the Belle Meade and West Nashville area, with a special focus on grief, relationship to self, anxiety, emotional regulation, and relationship challenges.

Cara works with a wide range of client concerns, including depression, low self-worth, life transitions, affair recovery, and shame.

Above all, Cara believes the most important element in therapy is a trusting, collaborative relationship. She works intentionally to understand each client as their full and unique self, creating a safe, open space for insight, healing, and lasting growth.
