Therapy for Growth, Healing, and Meaning

Whether you're navigating grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, or a sense of disconnection, our therapists are here to help. We offer in-depth psychotherapy for individuals and couples, blending clinical skill with emotional and spiritual care.

A Safe Place to Explore What Matters Most

Therapists at The Counseling Center providing counseling, supervision, and training across Middle Tennessee

At The Counseling Center, we know therapy isn’t always easy, but it can be deeply meaningful. Our therapists are trained in depth-oriented psychotherapy and work to uncover the roots beneath symptoms. While some concerns may show up as anxiety, sadness, or conflict, we believe healing begins with honest reflection, trusted support, and practical insight.

​

We approach each client with care, curiosity, and respect. Whether you're coming from a faith tradition, recovering from one, or exploring life outside of organized religion, you're welcome here.

Types of Therapy Services

Individual Therapy

Whether you're overwhelmed, navigating a transition, facing burnout, or just feeling stuck, our therapists offer a safe space to explore what’s beneath the surface. We’ll help you process difficult emotions, understand patterns, and reconnect with your values and self.

 

We’re trained in in-depth psychotherapy and enjoy exploring the deeper roots of presenting issues with a goal of practical insight and lasting change.

Marriage + Couples Therapy

Whether you’re in crisis, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply want to reconnect, we support couples at every stage. Our therapists offer practical tools and compassionate guidance to help you understand each other more deeply and build stronger, more meaningful connection.

 

We especially enjoy working with couples navigating conflict, emotional distance, or recovery after trust has been broken.

Pre-Marital Counseling

A strong start makes a difference. Our pre-marital counseling package includes up to 8 sessions, individual history interviews, and the SYMBIS assessment. You'll gain valuable tools, insights, and communication skills to support your marriage long-term.

 

You’ll also receive the State of Tennessee Certificate of Completion for pre-marital counseling, which may reduce your marriage license fee.

Relationship/Marital Check-Up

Even healthy relationships can drift. Our Relationship/Marital Check-Up package offers a chance to pause, reconnect, and strengthen your partnership using the SYMBIS+ assessment and guided sessions. You'll reflect on communication patterns, shared values, and areas of growth.

​

Perfect for couples who’ve been together for a while and want to be intentional about keeping their relationship vibrant.

Fees, Payments + Insurance

We offer transparent pricing, flexible payment options, and support for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Session fees vary by therapist and service, with discounted packages available for pre-marital and marital counseling. While most of our therapists are not paneled with insurance, we can provide superbills for clients using out-of-network benefits. We accept cash, checks, credit/debit cards (including HSA), and several digital payment methods.

Regular Fees

All therapists currently utilize a 50-minute "hour" for all sessions. Regular fee per session will vary depending on therapists' credentials, license, and experience. Regular fees currently range from $125 to $165 per session. (See each therapists' information for their current fee.)

 

Adjusted Fees

Depending on the current caseload, we may be able to work with clients who are not able to pay the full fee for service. Priority for these clients will be given to, but not limited to, members of the host congregations. Please contact us with questions you may have about fees.

Marital Check-up

Package Options
Our therapists currently offer a package that includes up to 8 sessions of counseling, the SYMBIS assessment, and the state of Tennessee's certificate of completion (for Pre-Marital).  


The cost of the package ranges from $680 to $950, depending on therapist and reflects a savings of at least 30% over the cost of all elements of the package if paid separately.  

​

Payment Options
Payment for pre-marital and marital check-up packages may be paid all at once or divided over the course of the sessions.  

​

*Additional sessions, beyond the eight (8) sessions provided in the package may be desired or needed to deal with issues raised.  Additional sessions will be available at regular fees.  Other options for pre-marital counseling or marital counseling may be available.  Feel free to contact us with your needs. 

Insurance
Coverage

Most of our therapists are not paneled with insurance providers, as unlicensed and provisionally licensed clinicians are generally not eligible for insurance reimbursement. Chris O'Rear is currently an in-network provider for Cigna (non-Medicare) plans.

​

If you’re interested in using insurance, we’ll provide information about your options, covered services, and any necessary documentation. However, we ask that clients pay for sessions upfront until insurance coverage has been confirmed.

​

For clients with out-of-network benefits, we can provide a Superbill (a detailed receipt with diagnosis codes, service dates, and provider information) which you may submit to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. Please note: Payment is due at the time of service

​

Reimbursement is handled directly between the client and their insurance provider

For more information about the guidelines and limitations of using insurance for counseling, contact us or refer to the form included in your New Client Forms.
