This Is Where People Come When They Want More Than Talk Therapy.

They Want Real Transformation

Real healing happens with real people who truly see you.

If therapy hasn’t worked before, it’s not your fault. You just haven’t had the right team, the right model, or the right level of care.
— Valarie L. Harris, Founder & Trauma and Attachment Specialist

If you’ve ever walked out of therapy wondering, “Why am I still not better?” — you’re not alone.

If you’re carrying pain that feels heavier than anything you’ve been able to explain, you deserve a place that understands the depth of what you’ve lived through.

At Trauma & Therapy Center of Tennessee, we exist for one reason: to set the standard for trauma-competent care for the whole family by providing therapy that actually moves the needle. Located in Clarksville and serving the North Nashville region (including Pleasant View, Springfield, Ashland City, Fort Campbell, Oak Grove, and beyond), Kentucky, and Georgia, our team provides collaborative, attachment-based treatment for adults, teens, couples, and families seeking true transformation, not surface-level coping skills. 

We specialize in trauma, attachment wounds, emotional overwhelm, relationship ruptures, and nervous system dysregulation. Clients come to us when talking about it isn’t enough, when they’ve already tried therapy elsewhere, and when they’re ready for care that finally gets to the root.

You won’t find a franchise model here.
No generic sessions.
No AI-run care.
No insurance-driven shortcuts.

Just real healing with real humans. Our specialist-led trauma therapy is designed for people who want deep healing that lasts. 
We are a boutique, collaborative team of trauma and attachment specialists who provide the level of care clients rarely experience anywhere else.

Many of our clients come to us after trying therapy somewhere else. They worked hard. They showed up. They were open. But the depth of their pain wasn’t met with the depth of care they needed.
— Valarie L. Harris, Founder and Clinical Director

We understand what it feels like to want change and not know where to turn next. We know how discouraging it can be to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step. You may have been offered coping strategies when what you needed was root-cause healing. You may have been told to “talk through it” when your nervous system needed a different path forward. You may have been rushed, misunderstood, or pressured. And that matters.

Many of our clients reach out after trying therapy with little progress. They wanted clarity. They wanted real help. They wanted a therapist who understood trauma beyond buzzwords. You deserve that level of care. You deserve a team that takes your healing seriously.

You deserve a place where your story is held with serious attention, where safety is honored, and where each session has purpose.

You deserve a therapist who understands how trauma shows up in the body, the brain, and your relationships. Someone who sees your patterns without judgment. Someone who helps you feel safe enough to let your guard down while teaching you how to regulate, reconnect, and reclaim your life.

Most of our clients are strong, smart, capable people who’ve carried heavy stories alone for far too long. You don’t need to be “fixed.” You are not a problem to be solved. You need a team that knows how to support the parts of you that learned how to survive. You owe it to yourself to have a team that sees you and meets you where you are.

Here, you are met with attunement, pacing, transparency, and emotional safety; the four things every trauma-impacted nervous system needs to heal.

All pain deserves to be witnessed.

How Our Approach Is Different

Most therapy models weren’t built for people who have complex stories, long-term symptoms, or trauma stored in the body. Insurance-based systems prioritize checklists, diagnoses, and symptom management.

We don’t.

We prioritize root-cause resolution, collaborative insight, and nervous-system safety delivered by clinicians who specialize in trauma, attachment, and integrative brain-based therapy.

We also believe that therapy has seasons, just like physical health:

  • We’re your specialists, the place you come when you need deep, focused, transformative care.

  • Insurance-based practices are your primary care partners, the place you go once you’re stable, grounded, and ready for maintenance.

This model protects your healing, honors your investment, and gives you the best of both worlds without being trapped in “forever therapy.”

What Makes Care With Us Different

  • We treat you like a whole human, never a label.

  • You receive care from trauma and attachment specialists—not generalists.

  • Your therapist is supported by a collaborative team that reviews cases and co-treats when helpful.

  • Your therapy plan targets root causes, not surface symptoms.

  • You’ll feel the difference within the first few sessions through clarity, education, and safety.

  • You have access to advanced modalities like Brainspotting, EMDR, LENS Neurofeedback, Trauma-Informed Hypnosis, and ART.

  • You receive care without insurance barriers, allowing freedom, privacy, and true trauma-competent treatment.

When you’re ready, we’re here. Your healing begins with a single conversation.
