Carrie the Perinatal Mental Health Counselor

Honestly, sometimes your brain is lying to you. And it’s so difficult to change that. I love helping people to be a little kinder to themselves one day at a time ❤️

Take care of yourselves, friends ❤️

Good morning everyone! I wanted to reintroduce myself ❤️

Carrie Dean here 👋 I am a mental health counselor based in West Tennessee but can see people virtually throughout the state. Want to see your counselor in person? No problem! I can see people at my office in Trenton, TN!

I am certified in perinatal mental health but have experience treating a variety of concerns including grief, various traumas, depression, anxiety, and sexual abuse. My therapy typically includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR.

Currently I accept Cigna and Aetna but can also see people that want to pay out of pocket for services.

❤️ do you have some thoughts that you need to “throw away?”

We love a good positive birth experience!!!

Unfortunately that doesn’t always happen, and it can help to try to process that with a mental health counselor ❤️

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need a little help to work through some difficult things. Life is hard, and you don’t have to do it alone.

I have some really exciting news to share with everyone!!

I will now be accepting Cigna! Private pay is still an option, but it’s such a blessing to now be able to accept this insurance and hopefully help more people 😊

There is still availability for services, particularly perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and trauma! Reach out with any questions you may have.

Just started on a new book to better help clients navigate the postpartum period ❤️❤️ I highly suggest checking this out!

If you know a parent that may benefit from some mental health support, I’m still accepting new clients! Reach out with any questions you may have 👏🏻

Some really exciting news this weekend!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Lately I’ve only been able to offer virtual sessions, but now I will be able to offer in-person sessions to local clients. This space will also be used for soooo many other wonderful things for local families.
