When you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, or family issues, you need more than surface-level solutions or temporary coping strategies. You deserve therapeutic care that sees you as a complete person and addresses the underlying causes of your challenges. At Exodus Counseling, we offer online therapy services to Bartlett residents, providing evidence-based treatment that integrates your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being for genuine transformation.
Authentic healing encompasses every aspect of your life. Schedule your consultation today or call us at (615) 437-7677.

Traditional counseling methods often focus on symptom management or teaching coping mechanisms without exploring root causes. While these approaches may offer short-term relief, they frequently leave you feeling stuck in survival mode rather than experiencing true healing and growth.
At Exodus Counseling, we believe in holistic treatment. Your battles with anxiety, depression, or relational issues aren't isolated problems—they're interconnected with your life history, relationships, physical health, and spiritual foundation. Lasting transformation occurs when we address these dimensions together.
Root Cause Focus: Rather than simply teaching symptom management, we explore what's truly driving your struggles. This approach creates enduring change that sustains you through life's challenges.
Faith-Based Integration: Your Christian faith isn't peripheral to your healing—it's central to who you are and how restoration happens. We help you discover how God can transform even painful experiences into sources of strength and purpose.
Practical Application: We equip you with strategies that function in daily life, not just theoretical concepts that sound helpful but fail when difficulties arise. We also offer ongoing resources to support your continued development.

We deliver therapy for clinical depression and comprehensive counseling services that address today's complex challenges, integrating professional expertise with Christian values.
Strong marriages require intentional effort, particularly when navigating work pressures, parenting demands, financial stress, and hectic schedules that leave couples feeling isolated. Whether you're newlyweds adjusting to married life, long-term partners who've drifted apart, or spouses confronting serious challenges, we help relationships heal and flourish. We work through communication barriers, trust violations, intimacy struggles, financial disputes, parenting disagreements, and the emotional distance that develops when couples neglect their connection. Our marriage counseling services combines proven methodologies like Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method with Christian principles to help couples restore intimacy, enhance conflict resolution, rebuild closeness, and establish a unified vision for their marriage.
Parenting adolescents presents distinct challenges for entire families. We provide counseling for identity struggles in teens that strengthens family bonds while helping teenagers develop healthy coping mechanisms and confident identity. Our approach supports parents while equipping teens with tools to navigate peer pressure, academic stress, and questions about their identity and future direction. Frequent concerns include anxiety and depression, behavioral challenges, identity confusion, social struggles, academic pressure, technology dependency, and family tensions regarding boundaries and independence. Our adolescent Christian therapy helps teens master emotional regulation, develop constructive coping strategies, enhance parent communication, explore identity questions through a Christian lens, and build confidence rooted in their relationship with God.
Depression affects people from all backgrounds, regardless of circumstances or faith. Whether triggered by life transitions, loss, chronic stress, or neurochemical factors, depression requires professional intervention and compassion. Warning signs include persistent sadness, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, appetite and sleep changes, chronic fatigue, concentration difficulties, feelings of worthlessness, and thoughts about death. Our depression treatment programs incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to transform negative thought patterns, behavioral interventions to increase meaningful activities, relationship-focused therapy to strengthen supportive connections, mindfulness practices for managing difficult emotions, trauma-informed care when depression stems from past wounds, and faith-based approaches that offer hope during dark seasons.
Anxiety manifests in various forms, from persistent worry to panic episodes to social fears that restrict your ability to live freely. Anxiety conditions we address include generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, specific phobias, health anxiety, and perfectionism that generates fear of failure. Our anxiety treatment programs utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to recognize and modify anxious thinking, exposure therapy to gradually confront feared situations safely, mindfulness and relaxation methods to soothe your nervous system, approaches that help you manage uncertainty without being paralyzed by it, and faith-based strategies that help you trust God's sovereignty while taking appropriate action.
Traumatic experiences can create lasting impacts on your mental health, relationships, and daily functioning. Trauma types we treat include childhood abuse, recent traumatic incidents, complex trauma from repeated experiences, sexual assault, domestic violence, medical trauma, accidents, and losses that become traumatic. Our trauma treatment programs employs EMDR to help your brain process traumatic memories more effectively, trauma-focused CBT to address trauma-related thoughts and behaviors, somatic approaches that help release trauma stored in the body, narrative therapy to reframe your story with healing and hope, and faith-based approaches that help you understand how God brings restoration from painful experiences.
Developing authentic self-worth enhances relationships, career satisfaction, and personal development. Self-esteem challenges we address include severe self-criticism, perfectionism that prevents risk-taking, people-pleasing and boundary issues, constant comparison to others, imposter syndrome despite achievements, fear of failure, and shame regarding past mistakes. Our counseling for personal growth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge negative self-talk, strengths-based approaches to identify your unique gifts, values clarification to guide authentic decisions, assertiveness training to communicate needs respectfully, mindfulness techniques for self-compassion, and faith-based approaches that anchor your worth in God's unchanging love.
Loss impacts everyone uniquely, and there's no prescribed timeline for healing. Types of loss we support include death of loved ones, sudden or unexpected deaths, complicated grief, divorce or relationship endings, job loss or career transitions, health problems, and loss of dreams or expectations. Our grief counseling services provides safe space to express all emotions including anger and despair, education about normal grief responses, support for discovering meaning in loss, help maintaining healthy connection with your loved one's memory, guidance for navigating difficult anniversaries and holidays, and faith-based support that addresses spiritual questions while providing hope.
When anger becomes uncontrollable, it damages relationships and can compromise your Christian witness. Anger patterns we treat include explosive outbursts, passive-aggressive behaviors, road rage, workplace anger, family conflicts, chronic irritability, and anger connected to depression, anxiety, or past trauma. Our anger management counseling uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify triggers and modify thinking patterns that fuel anger, emotional regulation skills for managing stress, communication training to express needs without aggression, conflict resolution skills for handling disagreements constructively, stress management techniques, and faith-based approaches emphasizing forgiveness and self-control.
Behavioral addictions can destroy relationships, careers, and spiritual health.

Our addiction counseling services uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thoughts and behaviors maintaining addiction, skills for managing cravings and emotional triggers, motivational interviewing to strengthen motivation for change, approaches that help handle urges without acting on them, trauma work when addiction stems from past experiences, and faith-based approaches emphasizing grace, redemption, and accountability.

Our eating disorder treatment programs uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy designed for eating disorders, emotional regulation skills, intuitive eating approaches to rebuild natural hunger and fullness signals, body image work to develop healthy self-perception, trauma-informed care when eating disorders connect to past experiences, and faith-based approaches emphasizing your worth as God's creation while coordinating with medical providers.

As a parent, you want counseling that builds up your family rather than undermining the principles you work to establish. You need a therapist who supports your faith and family values—someone who respects your parental wisdom while understanding your child's individual needs.
We embrace the same Christian principles that guide your family. When your child needs counseling, you can trust that we'll reinforce the values you're teaching rather than introducing conflicting messages that create confusion or family discord. We respect how God designed families while recognizing your child's need for age-appropriate independence, working with parents as partners in their child's healing without undermining your authority.
We understand that healthy families need healthy individuals, and individual healing works best when families are supportive. Our approach strengthens family relationships rather than creating division or distance. While maintaining appropriate privacy with children and teenagers, we keep parents informed about important progress and concerns, believing parents should be active partners in their children's healing process.
Many Christian parents worry that secular counseling might encourage rebellion against family values or undermine parental guidance. At Exodus Counseling, we strengthen families by helping children and teenagers grow in wisdom and character while learning to handle today's challenges. Our counseling for teen emotional health supports the investment parents make in their children's spiritual and emotional development.

Many Bartlett families face intense pressure to excel academically and in extracurricular activities. We help families develop balanced perspectives on achievement and failure, address anxiety related to performance expectations, build resilience for handling setbacks and disappointments, improve family communication about realistic goals and expectations, and find identity and worth beyond achievements while maintaining healthy motivation and personal growth.
Living in tight-knit, family-oriented communities can amplify social anxiety. We help clients develop confidence for social interactions without constantly worrying about judgment, address fear of criticism or not measuring up to community standards, build authentic friendships based on genuine connection rather than appearances, handle conflicts or misunderstandings when maintaining relationships is important, and find ways to contribute meaningfully to community life while staying true to personal values.
Many couples struggle with feeling emotionally distant even when their life appears stable from the outside. We help couples understand how relationships can drift even during stable periods, rebuild emotional and physical intimacy through practical steps, improve daily communication and connection habits, address barriers to closeness like busy schedules or unmet needs, and rediscover what they value about each other while creating new shared experiences and goals.
Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to balance high expectations with children's individual needs. We help parents develop realistic expectations about family life and activities, improve communication and teamwork between spouses about parenting responsibilities, address guilt about not being able to do everything perfectly, build support systems and ask for help when needed, and maintain personal identity and well-being while being devoted parents.
Major life transitions like job changes, moves, or children growing up can create identity questions and emotional challenges. We help people process emotions about what they're leaving behind, develop new sense of purpose and direction during transitions, manage anxiety about uncertainty and what comes next, explore new interests and goals that fit this life stage, and find meaning and excitement about new opportunities while maintaining important relationships and core values.
