Trauma-Informed Relational Therapy for Couples and Men in Nashville
Whether you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together, stuck in the same arguments with your partner, or wondering why life feels harder than it should, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.
If you’ve told yourself…
"I should be able to handle this on my own."
"I'm tired of having the same fight with my spouse."
"I feel disconnected—from my partner, from myself, or from the life I thought I'd have."
"I'm successful on the outside, but anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out on the inside."
"I don't even know how to explain what I'm feeling anymore."
Hear this. You are not alone.
Clients who work with me with have spent years pushing through, taking care of everyone else, or hoping things would eventually get better. Therapy offers a different path—one where you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.
Meet Chad
Hi, I'm Chad Johnson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Nashville and Brentwood.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years working in leadership, nonprofit, higher education, government, and the creative arts. Those experiences continue to shape how I work today. I have experienced and understand the pressures that come with juggling demanding careers, a 22-year marriage, parenting teens, and trying to be everything for everyone.
Clients appreciate that therapy with me feels both compassionate and practical. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and gently challenge the patterns and places that keep you stuck. My goal isn't simply to help you feel better—it's to help you build healthier relationships with yourself and the people in your life who matter most.
You don't have to choose between feeling understood and being challenged. Therapy should provide both.
My personalized approach is grounded in evidence-based models like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Brainspotting, while always adapting to your unique story and goals.
Whether you're coming on your own or with your partner, our work together is centered on helping you experience greater connection, resilience, and hope.
