I’m Tozia (TAH-zah).
Here, you can take off the armor you wear every day and let your guard down
I see you. You're carrying the weight of navigating a world that often feels like it wasn't built for you. It can be brutal, the constant feeling of being on edge, the unseen barriers you face every day, and the overwhelming expectation to fit the “mold”.
But here's the thing: you don't have to weather this storm alone.
As a therapist who specializes in complex PTSD, specifically racial trauma, I understand the sting of it all. The anger, the exhaustion, the fear – I've been there. But I believe you have an inner healer, and I'm here to help you discover them.
By working together, you will do more than just survive. Finding the key to relief is important, but we won't stop there. We'll explore the roots of your struggles, acknowledging your experiences and processing the trauma. By doing this, we'll uncover the strength you already possess to create lasting change.
This journey of healing won't be easy, but with support, you'll navigate those uncharted waters with newfound confidence, and you'll emerge stronger, ready to embrace your authentic self.

Masters in Social Work/Therapist
(615) 795 7632
Hi! I'm Amiee and I’m glad you’re here. I want to invite you on a journey, one where resilience isn't a badge worn from surviving, but rather, a choice in how we thrive. I get it, most people don’t really like the idea of therapy, but it doesn’t have to be some clinical … thing. It really can be an opportunity to be heard, without judgment.
My passion lies in guiding individuals, couples, and families through life's twists and turns.
Especially close to my heart are the LGBTQIA+ community, survivors of domestic violence, and women with ADHD or ASD. I see you, I am you!
I craft brave spaces, where growth isn't just encouraged, but embraced. Where we face fears, uncover truths, and rediscover who we truly are.
Life can be a lot and sometimes and can be VERY overwhelming. But here's the thing—it's okay. Let's navigate those moments together. Because your confidence, your trust in your abilities, that's where true empowerment lies.
So, won't you join me?

(901) 692-3121
Hello, my name is Christian Williams. Born in Memphis, Tennessee and raised in Spring Hill, Tennessee, I am the son of two hard-working parents. From 2017-2024, I received my Bachelor’s (Psychology) and Educational Specialist degree (Professional Counseling) from Middle Tennessee State University. Here, I learned the importance of self-care and discovered my passion for helping others in their mental health journey.
As a counselor, my mission is to create a space for clients to feel seen, heard, and valued. Often, in processing our feelings we are not met with the reaction or response that we need or deserve. I have a passion for working with adults, college-students, clients of colors, and individuals who desire a safe space to process their feelings and emotions. If you are an individual struggling with their mental health, needing an outlet to express their issues/concerns, and wanting to grow as a person, then I would love to work with you.

Overwhelmed and stressed by the thought of being "Superwoman" again? Time after time, you find yourself rescuing others and putting others before you. Leaving absolutely no time for yourself. Tired of constantly being the "Strong One?" Leaving yourself feeling drained and unfulfilled. At work, you go above and beyond but it goes unnoticed. At home, your days are filled with tasks that take up your entire day but you still feel unappreciated. Personally, you have told yourself that staying busy, overextending yourself and being the "Strong One" equals your success, value and worth.

Whether you are responding to grief, depression, stress, trauma, or heartbreak, therapy can benefit you. My perception of psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery requiring a collaborative effort between therapist and client. From my experience, it is important to curate a nonjudgmental safe space for clients to process and communicate their most vulnerable experiences and life journey thus far. I strive to meet clients ‘where they are’ in terms of their present situation and circumstances, and help clients move past their barriers and rediscover their purpose.

Think about it, you have amassed significant accomplishments compared to your childhood upbringing. Many would call you "an over-achiever". But no one knows how much you really struggle behind closed doors. I've been there. Whether it be a romantic relationship, financial loss, work-related difficulty or family/school dynamics, a “trained clinical ear” is essential in order to gain insight and effective strategies for behavior change. We were not meant to go at this life alone. You have someone who knows how to listen, help you regroup and empower your next move.

Relationships are tough. Whether you have grown cold, quietly resentful and or struggling to balance work and home life, relational intimacy can be recaptured. It is unrealistic to think a relationship should be what it was when two persons met. After all, the chemicals released due to the novelty phase are no more, and our needs are changing as we mature creating a new relational dance. Other challenges include becoming inundated with the stuff of life ( i.e. in-laws, children, addictions, losses) which can cause a couple or an individual's relationship with self, to go un-nourished. One often asks, "who have we or I become?"

Are you stressed out, so tired, days long & feel like you have to move on? Do you need a vacation? Okay that may or may not be similar lyrics to one of my favorite rappers songs but it speaks to just about what on average most people are dealing with in their unique life experiences. Feeling like you’re stressed to the point you’re tired, days are long from navigating depression, motherhood woes, anxiety, or relationships that feel stuck & need support to move towards healing. If you answered yes, then it may be time to unpack the non essentials for your healing journey & pack some healthy remedies for your new life exploration.

I haven't spoken to my mother in years. Like you, I spent decades tiptoeing around the truth about our relationship: that it was the reason I shrank and second-guessed myself at work, the core of why I didn't know how to keep my bank account out of overdraft, the driving force behind my mistrust of other women, the cause of my co-dependent attachment in romantic relationships, the rationale for why I was horrified to have daughters, and the motivation behind why I didn't prioritize my physical or mental health, or love myself.

I find that a client who is open to the intimacies of a therapeutic relationship and committed to the mental/emotional journey common in therapy has the most success in working with me. Client issues can range from low-level stress and anxiety to coping with heavy grief and trauma, as well as issues related to sociocultural identity. I also envision clients that need empathetic reflection & concrete solutions to their issues. Most importantly, my ideal client should feel empowered to collaborate with me in maximizing their wellbeing.

To begin, Distance Counseling is offered for clients who cannot make face to face sessions. I believe barriers seldom produce opportunities for change. On another note, I am usually asked, what person is best suited or needs counseling? Honestly, there are many ways and templates (Word document and Google Search) geared to answer this question. Those methods sound enticing. Yet, they operate from the focus of a proprietor. Another clinician may indicate the best suited clients are willing and committed. I don't need the BEST SUITED CLIENT, just those who ask for help. Let's Work Together.

***ACCEPTING INDIVIDUAL ADULT CLIENTS (NOT ACCEPTING COUPLES, FAMILIES, OR KIDS/TEENS AT THIS TIME)*** I believe that most of the pain we carry around stems from different aspects of grief and loss. Unacknowledged and unresolved pain can have adverse impacts on one's overall health, which can start to show up in our lives somatically, emotionally, spiritually, or relationally. It can even begin to affect our identity. I believe in creating a judgment-free and shame-free space where clients can safely acknowledge, explore, and heal unacknowledged and unresolved pain, and ultimately rediscover their sense of self.

ALL ARE WELCOME, NONE ARE JUDGED.I am a faith based, solution focused therapist. Faith based because great journeys begin with a single step of faith. Solution focused, because focusing on what has not worked, does not work. My ideal client is one seeking positive growth inter-personally and spiritually. I meet you where you are and strive to empower and encourage you through the growth process, to get where you want to be.

In my work with YOU I want to hold space for you to figure out who you are and where you want to be. I enjoy listening to clients’ stories and giving them the tools to change their own narrative so that they can feel peace and ease in their lives. It is my mission to create a safe place for you to feel heard and understood regardless of how others may perceive you. Together, let’s stop the stigmas and begin to heal!

We often do not know what we want out of life, but we register a gnawing dissatisfaction. Our desire is inhibited by something we cannot name. Psychoanalysis goes beyond reducing symptoms to provide a unique space to listen to your desire, where you can let go of standards and think out loud without judgment. You can bring your history, your dreams, anything that comes to mind. As you speak freely, you will begin to live more freely. If therapy hasn’t worked for you, psychoanalysis can offer you something different.

I enjoy empowering the individuals that I work with to help them make a decision in the direction they would like to see their life go. Through several Cognitive Behavior Techniques, we are able to discover faulty cognitive patterns that may or may not have lead to automatic negative thoughts (ANTS). As we discover those faulty cognitive thinking patterns, we are able to help individuals reframe negative thought patterns to help relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and raise self-esteem.
