We were all finally able to come together!! It is amazing how you can work together as a team and hardly see each other! The Harmonious Living team enjoyed a good lunch, good conversation, was able to discuss ways to better serve our clients and sneak in some laughter here and there.

Thank you Raline, Mary Ann and Adrian for just being awesome clinicians and making this team great!

If you, or someone you know, is in need of mental health services or could benefit from mental health support (to include: couples and premarital counseling, adolescent, trauma, depression, grief, chronic stress, anxiety and just general support with challenging decisions that need to be made) then send them to this page for more information. I’m pretty full currently but there are a few slots available on my team.

We get really busy late fall with referrals for adolescents because of school issues. I recommend staying ahead of those issues as sometimes problems have compounded when not addressed timely or preventatively. If you anticipate challenges or just want to build in support in advance - go ahead and give us a call.

Thanks!

Today is the day I became a mom and this is the very sweet, kind, thoughtful and smart young lady who made it happen. I honestly could not ask for a better daughter. She has made me so much better as a person and is one of the reasons I work as hard as I do - to make sure her future is bright and so she has all the things she deserves in life. It’s been amazing to watch her over the years grow into the young woman she has become. I cannot believe she’s 17 - but she is😩😩😩. Very happy birthday Chloe! We love you very much! 🎁🎂🎈

The Harmonious Living team welcomes Mary Ann Hea to the practice. She will be seeing clients in office and has a range of clinical experience. We are excited to have her on the team. 😊

Born in Germany into a military family, Mary Ann Hea graduated from the University of North Alabama with degrees in Psychology and English Literature. She was a newspaper journalist and college professor until returning to school later in life to receive a Masters in Social Work at the University of Tennessee College of Social work. Ms. Hea has been licensed to practice for over 30 years.

The majority of Ms. Hea’s career was spent at the Metropolitan Public Defender’s office where she was employed as a sentencing consultant, mitigation specialist, therapist and grant writer. She is the founder of the Davidson County Mental Health Court (5th in the nation) and several other grant programs created to boost criminal justice reform in Nashville. Ms. Hea was also the co-founder of the trauma non-profit The Institute of Forensic Traumatology.

Ms. Hea believes that life’s best teachers are gleaned from the world we live in, including from the tender lives of our clients. She employs a “be here now” approach to therapy, often utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy as a means to retrain old behaviors that are no longer serving the person adequately in their daily lives. Ms. Hea takes an eclectic approach to therapy as no two people are alike. As a researcher, Ms. Hea has been employed by Civil Rights Corps, based in Washington D.C. She is knowledgeable about Nashville resources.

While she enjoys working with individuals who have had run-ins with the law, she also enjoys working with s*x abuse survivors, depressive disordered individuals and grieving families. Ms. Hea employs humor in her work,something she believes to be a key to recovery.

It’s that time again. Although we work to raise awareness all year; May is officially Mental Health Awareness Month! Use this time to be particularly diligent toward raising awareness and actively engaging activities that raise awareness. The team will be participating in on Saturday, May 18th, 2024. We would love for you to join us! But if you cannot; feel free to donate and support a great cause. NAMI provides advocacy and education, support and public awareness so that those affected by mental illness can live better lives.

As someone who struggled with self-esteem during middle school (and after); I must say I always take great pleasure in speaking to middle school and adolescent young ladies about building and protecting a healthy self-esteem. Those pre-teen years are so uniquely critical when it comes to solidifying the self-esteem of young women.

It was an honor to speak to the 2024 Little Miss AKA contestents and listen to them share their experiences with maintaining a healthy aelf-esteem. The discussion around bullying and boundaries was informative for me! I learned a lot. They had some wonderful questions and were so mature in their responses to many of my questions and topics discussed. This was truly the highlight of my weekend! Best wishes to each contestant and I hope they remember that the most important voice in their lives is their own.

I must thank Gwendolyn Brooks Middle School, (Chicago, Illinois) for allowing me to participate in your Sneaker Ball this past weekend. To see all the children having such a good time was heartwarming. The hardworking teachers and administrators who already worked a full day and made this after school event happen are to be commended.

We tend to hear so many negative stories about schools, teachers and students; that it is encouraging to witness so much positivity taking place within our school systems. We just need to bring more attention to all the great things happening in our schools and the who are making it happen.

On a related note…thanks to the young people who took time to show me the latest dances. I definitely felt it the next day😔. I will stick to my basic two step moving forward 😬.

Saw this picture and got excited! This needs to be a motto for 2024. I know so many people who have had some great ideas but lacked the confidence or belief in themselves that they could make these great ideas happen. Going to back to school, having children later in life, starting that business, quitting your job to travel, making that investment, leaving that unhealthy relationship….not sure what it is - but go for it!

Being someone who has had several ‘crazy’ ideas - I say it is worth it! Even if it doesn’t turn out quite like you planned - it is worth it. Trust your crazy ideas and go make great things happen. You want others to believe and support your ideas but it starts with you. You are an expert on your life. You know what’s best for you. Make it happen and best wishes! 🤗🤗
