Life's challenges don't wait for convenient times or easy solutions. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, work stress, or family struggles, you need counseling that treats you as a complete person—not just a collection of symptoms to manage. At Exodus Counseling, we provide online therapy services to Goodlettsville residents, offering evidence-based treatment that integrates your mind, body, and spirit for genuine healing.
You deserve care that addresses the whole picture. Schedule your consultation today or call us at (615) 437-7677.

Many counseling approaches focus on managing symptoms without addressing the deeper issues causing your struggles. While coping strategies might provide temporary relief, they often leave you feeling stuck in patterns that never really change. You deserve more than just learning to get by—you deserve actual healing.
At Exodus Counseling, we understand that your mental health challenges connect to your life circumstances, relationships, physical health, and spiritual well-being. True healing happens when we address all these areas together, not just individual symptoms.
Core Issue Resolution We investigate the primary factors and life patterns that create and sustain your mental health difficulties, developing comprehensive interventions that target foundational causes rather than temporary symptom management.
Faith as Therapeutic Resource Your Christian faith becomes an active partner in your healing journey, thoughtfully integrated into treatment planning and therapeutic interventions. Access our faith development materials for ongoing spiritual support.
Real-World Functionality Our therapeutic methods are tested and proven in actual life situations—managing workplace demands, family dynamics, and community relationships with strategies designed for practical application and sustained success.
What You Can Expect:

We offer professional therapeutic services designed to address the diverse challenges facing individuals and families in today's world.
Marriage faces real pressures in today's world—work stress, financial concerns, parenting challenges, and the general busyness of life that can leave couples feeling disconnected. Whether you're newlyweds learning to navigate differences, couples who've grown apart, or spouses dealing with serious relationship problems, we help marriages heal and thrive. We address communication breakdowns, trust issues, intimacy problems, financial stress, parenting conflicts, and the gradual distance that develops when couples stop making their relationship a priority. Our therapy for marital stress uses proven methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman approach with Christian principles to help couples rebuild connection, improve communication, restore intimacy, and create shared vision for their future.
Teenagers today face challenges that previous generations didn't experience—social media pressure, academic stress, peer influences, and questions about their identity and future. We provide counseling that strengthens families while helping teens develop resilience and healthy coping skills. Common issues include anxiety and depression, behavioral problems, identity confusion, social difficulties, academic pressure, technology addiction, and family conflicts about independence and expectations. Our Christian teen support therapy helps teenagers develop emotional regulation, build healthy coping strategies, improve family communication, process identity questions through a Christian perspective, and build confidence based on their relationship with God rather than peer approval.
Depression can affect anyone regardless of their circumstances, success, or faith. Whether triggered by life changes, loss, ongoing stress, work problems, or brain chemistry, depression needs professional support and understanding. Symptoms include persistent sadness, losing interest in activities you used to enjoy, changes in eating and sleeping, constant fatigue, trouble concentrating, feeling worthless, and thoughts about death. Our integrated therapy for depression combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address negative thinking patterns, behavioral activation to increase positive activities, therapy focused on building supportive relationships, mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation, trauma-informed care when depression stems from past experiences, and faith-based approaches that provide hope and meaning during difficult times.
Anxiety can range from constant worry to panic attacks to social fears that limit your ability to live fully. Types of anxiety we treat include generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, specific phobias, health anxiety, and perfectionism that creates fear of making mistakes or failing. Our best therapy for anxiety uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change anxious thinking patterns, exposure therapy to gradually face feared situations safely, mindfulness and relaxation techniques to calm your nervous system, approaches that help you handle uncertainty without being controlled by it, and faith-based strategies that help you trust God's plan while taking appropriate action.
Traumatic experiences can have lasting effects on your mental health, relationships, and daily functioning. Types of trauma we treat include childhood abuse, recent traumatic events, complex trauma from repeated experiences, sexual assault, domestic violence, medical trauma, accidents, and losses that become traumatic. Our trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy uses EMDR to help process traumatic memories effectively, trauma-focused CBT to address trauma-related thoughts and behaviors, body-based approaches that release trauma stored physically, narrative therapy to rewrite your story with meaning and hope, and faith-based approaches that help you understand how God can bring healing from painful experiences while rebuilding safety and relationships.
Building real self-worth is important for healthy relationships, work satisfaction, and personal growth. Self-esteem issues we address include harsh self-criticism, perfectionism that prevents taking risks, people-pleasing and boundary problems, comparing yourself to others, feeling like a fraud despite accomplishments, fear of failure, and shame about past mistakes. Our counseling for self-identity struggles uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge negative self-talk, approaches that help you identify your unique strengths, values work to guide authentic decisions, assertiveness training to communicate needs respectfully, mindfulness techniques for self-compassion, and faith-based approaches that ground your worth in God's love rather than achievements or others' opinions.
Loss affects everyone differently, and there's no right timeline for healing. Types of loss we help with include death of loved ones, sudden or unexpected deaths, complicated grief, divorce or relationship endings, job loss or career changes, health problems, and loss of dreams or expectations. Our therapy for prolonged grief disorder provides safe space to express all emotions including anger and despair, education about normal grief responses, support for finding meaning in loss, help maintaining healthy connection with your loved one's memory, guidance for handling difficult anniversaries and holidays, and faith-based support that addresses spiritual questions while providing hope throughout your mourning process.
When anger feels out of control, it hurts relationships and can damage your witness as a Christian. Anger issues we treat include explosive outbursts, passive-aggressive behaviors, road rage, workplace anger, family conflicts, chronic irritability, and anger related to depression, anxiety, or past trauma. Our conflict resolution counseling for couples uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify triggers and change thinking patterns that fuel anger, skills for emotional regulation and handling stress, communication training to express needs without aggression, conflict resolution skills for handling disagreements constructively, stress management techniques, trauma work when anger stems from past hurts, and faith-based approaches emphasizing forgiveness and self-control.
Behavioral addictions can destroy relationships, careers, and spiritual health. Addictions we treat include pornography and sexual compulsions, gambling, shopping and spending compulsions, internet and gaming addiction, work addiction, and other behaviors that feel out of control. Our counseling for substance use disorders uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change thoughts and behaviors maintaining addiction, skills for managing cravings and emotional triggers, motivational interviewing to strengthen desire 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 while building healthy coping strategies.
Eating disorders are serious conditions that need specialized, compassionate care. Types we treat include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other disordered eating patterns including chronic dieting and emotional eating. Our integrated eating disorder therapy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy designed for eating disorders, skills for emotional regulation, 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 for complete recovery.
