Welcome! I’m Dr. Nicole Breeding, a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience in individual, family, and couples counseling. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Mental Health Service Provider Designation in the state of Tennessee, I am dedicated to helping clients navigate life’s challenges and heal from past trauma. I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process disturbing life experiences and overcome the emotional and psychological impact of those events. Whether you’re seeking support for trauma, grief, or other mental health concerns, I offer both in-person and virtual counseling for clients throughout Tennessee. In addition to my work as a therapist, I’m proud to serve as an adjunct instructor in the Behavioral Sciences Department at a local university, where I teach doctoral-level courses to the next generation of mental health professionals. On a personal note, I’ve been married to my wonderful Navy Veteran husband, Byron, for over 20 years. We have two beautiful daughters, several pets, and a lively array of wildlife on our property. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me reading historical fiction, enjoying meals that I don’t have to cook, and spending time with my family and friends. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, I’d be honored to support you on your journey. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I'm here to help.
