Exodus Counseling is a Self Pay Organization. We do not accept insurance at this time.
Seeking counseling often feels like admitting defeat, but it's actually the opposite - it's choosing courage over fear, wisdom over stubbornness, and hope over despair. Many people hesitate to reach out because they believe they should be strong enough to handle life's challenges alone.
Maybe you're reading this because anxiety has been keeping you up at night. Or depression has made even simple tasks feel impossible. Perhaps your marriage feels more like a business arrangement than a love story, or your teenager has become a stranger living in your house. Maybe you're carrying trauma that happened years ago but still affects today, or struggling with grief that seems too heavy to bear alone.
Whatever brought you here, you're in the right place. We provide exceptional online counseling and therapy throughout Tennessee, combining proven clinical methods with Christian wisdom to help Pulaski residents find their way back to hope, healing, and wholeness.

"But can online counseling really work?"
Many people have this concern initially. Face-to-face conversation feels more natural, right? However, research shows online counseling can be equally effective, and many clients find that being in their own space - their favorite chair, their cozy living room, their peaceful bedroom - actually makes vulnerability feel safer.
"What makes y'all different from other counseling services?"
Three things set us apart:
We go deeper than surface fixes. While other approaches might teach you breathing exercises and send you on your way, we help you understand why anxiety started in the first place. We explore how your childhood affects your adult relationships, how unresolved grief impacts present joy, and how spiritual emptiness contributes to emotional pain.
We integrate your whole life. Your mental health doesn't exist in a vacuum. We consider how your physical health, relationships, work stress, and spiritual life all connect. When we address everything together, healing happens faster and lasts longer.
We anchor everything in Christian truth. Clinical techniques provide tools, but Christian truth provides the foundation that makes lasting change possible. We don't just help you cope - we help you thrive.

Every family has its struggles, but no family has to struggle alone. Our comprehensive counseling services meet Pulaski residents exactly where they are and help them get where they want to be. Visit our complete services overview to see how we can support your family's journey toward wellness.
"We love each other, but we're not sure we like each other anymore."
Sound familiar? Our family and marriage therapy helps Pulaski couples remember why they fell in love while building skills to stay connected through life's inevitable challenges. We don't just patch up arguments - we help you understand the deeper patterns creating conflict. You'll learn to communicate without attacking, resolve differences without keeping score, and rebuild intimacy that may have gotten lost in the chaos of daily life. Whether you're newlyweds wanting to start strong or empty nesters ready to rediscover each other, we provide both hope and practical tools for lasting connection.
"My teenager used to tell me everything. Now they barely speak to me."
Adolescence hits every family differently, but it doesn't have to devastate yours. Our counseling for identity struggles in teens helps Pulaski teenagers navigate the complex world of growing up while staying connected to family values. We create safe spaces where teens can explore their feelings, work through social pressures, and strengthen their faith without feeling judged or preached at. Parents consistently tell us how amazed they are when their teenagers start talking again - really talking, not just grunting responses. We address everything from academic stress and social anxiety to identity questions and behavioral concerns with patience, understanding, and genuine care.
"I just don't feel like myself anymore."
Depression steals more than happiness - it steals your sense of self, your energy, your hope for tomorrow. Our Christian counseling for depression helps Pulaski residents reclaim their lives from depression's grip. We understand that depression affects your thoughts, emotions, relationships, physical health, and spiritual connection, so our treatment addresses all these areas comprehensively. Through proven therapeutic techniques grounded in Christian hope, we help you understand depression's patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and gradually rediscover the person you were meant to be. Whether this is your first encounter with depression or you've struggled for years, healing is possible with proper support and care.
"I worry about everything, even things that haven't happened yet."
When worry becomes your constant companion, life loses its joy and spontaneity. Our therapy for chronic worry teaches Pulaski residents how to quiet anxiety's voice and reclaim peace in daily living. We help you understand why your brain creates anxious thoughts, how to interrupt worry spirals before they consume you, and practical techniques for managing physical anxiety symptoms. Whether you struggle with social anxiety that limits your opportunities, generalized worry that exhausts you, or panic attacks that make you feel like you're losing control, anxiety can become manageable when you learn the right tools and have proper support.
"I thought I was over it, but something triggered me and all those feelings came flooding back."
Trauma has a way of hiding and then surprising you when you least expect it. Our evidence-based trauma treatment helps Pulaski residents process difficult experiences safely while reclaiming their sense of safety and personal power. We use gentle, effective approaches that help your nervous system heal while processing traumatic memories at a pace that feels manageable. Whether you experienced childhood abuse, witnessed violence, survived accidents, or endured other overwhelming events, trauma therapy can help you move from hypervigilance to peace, from reactivity to choice, from surviving to thriving. Your past doesn't have to control your future when you have proper support for healing.
"I'm my own worst critic. I would never talk to anyone else the way I talk to myself."
Self-criticism feels like motivation, but it actually paralyzes progress and steals joy from accomplishments. Our therapy for insecurity issues helps Pulaski residents silence harsh inner voices and develop the kind of self-compassion that changes everything. We explore where negative self-beliefs originated, challenge thought patterns that keep you stuck, and help you build authentic confidence based on your identity as God's beloved child. You'll learn to recognize your unique strengths, accept your human imperfections, and make decisions from self-love rather than self-punishment. This internal transformation creates external changes in relationships, career satisfaction, and overall life fulfillment.
"Everyone says I should be 'moving on' by now, but I don't even know what that means."
Grief follows no timeline and respects no expectations from well-meaning friends and family. Our grief and mourning therapy provides Pulaski residents with compassionate guidance through loss's difficult terrain. Whether you're mourning death, divorce, job loss, health changes, or shattered dreams, we help you process grief in healthy ways that honor what you've lost while gradually creating space for new meaning and connection. We understand that healing doesn't mean forgetting - it means learning to carry love forward in ways that enrich rather than paralyze your life.
"I don't want to be an angry person, but sometimes I just explode."
Anger often feels overwhelming and uncontrollable, but it's actually trying to tell you something important about unmet needs or boundaries being crossed. Our anger management skills training helps Pulaski residents understand anger's deeper messages while learning expression methods that solve problems instead of creating new ones. We explore what triggers your anger, teach communication skills that actually work, and help you develop emotional regulation that strengthens relationships rather than damaging them. Whether you struggle with explosive outbursts or passive-aggressive patterns, anger management can transform how you handle conflict and frustration.
"I never meant for it to get this bad. It started as a way to cope, but now it's controlling my life."
Addiction rarely happens overnight - it's usually a gradual process of increasing dependence that surprises everyone involved. Our counseling for overcoming addiction helps Pulaski residents break free from substances or behaviors that once provided relief but now create more problems than they solve. We understand that addiction affects brain chemistry, family relationships, spiritual connection, and practical life circumstances, requiring comprehensive treatment that addresses all these areas. Through evidence-based approaches anchored in Christian hope, we help you understand addiction's grip, develop healthy coping mechanisms, rebuild damaged trust, and create a life so fulfilling that addictive substances or behaviors lose their appeal.
"Food is supposed to nourish you, not be something you fight with every day."
When eating becomes complicated by emotions, control issues, or body image distortion, every meal becomes a battle. Our eating disorder recovery support provides Pulaski residents with specialized care that heals relationships with food, body image, and self-worth simultaneously. We understand that eating disorders often develop as attempts to control overwhelming emotions or achieve impossible standards. Through gentle, comprehensive treatment that honors your body as God's precious creation, we help restore healthy eating patterns, develop positive body image, and address underlying emotional needs that disordered eating was trying to meet.

Taking the first step requires courage, but you've already shown that courage by reading this far. Your healing journey begins with one simple conversation where we listen to your story, understand your goals, and create a plan that makes sense for your life.
Three easy ways to begin:
{{schedule-simple}}

We chose self-pay because your healing matters more than convenience. When insurance companies aren't involved, your treatment can focus entirely on what you need rather than what's covered. This means sessions that last as long as necessary, treatment plans designed specifically for your goals, complete privacy without third-party documentation, and therapeutic approaches chosen for effectiveness rather than cost. Your investment in counseling pays dividends in every area of life. Learn about our transparent pricing structure and discover what happens when your healing isn't limited by bureaucracy.

We meet you exactly where you are spiritually while offering the hope and wisdom that comes from Christian truth. Your relationship with God isn't separate from your mental health - it's central to it. We don't accommodate your faith as an afterthought; we celebrate it as the foundation for lasting transformation. Our counselors understand that true healing involves becoming the person God created you to be, which strengthens families and builds authentic community connections.

Most people start feeling better within the first few sessions, though lasting change takes time to develop and stick. We work efficiently toward your goals while respecting that deep healing can't be rushed. You're in control of the pace and duration.
They won't, because we don't bill insurance companies. Your counseling remains completely private between you and your therapist. No one else has access to your information without your explicit written consent.
Absolutely. Often when one family member gets healthier and changes their patterns, it naturally encourages others to participate. Individual work frequently improves family dynamics even before everyone engages directly.
We provide coping strategies and resources for use between sessions, plus clear protocols for crisis situations. Your safety and wellbeing are our top priorities, and we ensure proper support systems are in place.
We serve communities throughout Tennessee and understand the specific challenges of small-town living - the lack of anonymity, limited resources, economic pressures, and tight social networks that can both support and complicate healing.
Pulaski embodies the heart of small-town Tennessee, where everybody knows everybody and genuine community support flows naturally during times of need. This close-knit atmosphere creates powerful social connections that significantly impact mental health, providing informal support networks that complement therapeutic work. The community's agricultural heritage fosters values of hard work, perseverance, and mutual aid that support resilience during difficult seasons.
The town's beautiful historic downtown and surrounding countryside offer peaceful environments that naturally reduce stress and promote emotional wellbeing. Tree-lined streets, front porch conversations, and community gatherings create opportunities for meaningful social interaction that combat isolation and loneliness. Local churches and civic organizations provide volunteer opportunities that build purpose and community connection essential for mental wellness.
Richland Creek and nearby outdoor recreation areas offer therapeutic natural settings where residents can find solace, process emotions, and connect with God's creation in ways that support healing and spiritual growth. The Giles County Historical Society preserves local heritage while providing cultural enrichment and shared community experiences. The annual Mule Day celebration demonstrates the community spirit and joyful traditions that bind residents together and create the kind of belonging essential for emotional health and resilience during challenging times.
Catholic families in Pulaski seeking counseling that respects Catholic teaching and spiritual traditions will find dedicated support through our Catholic counselors who understand the distinctive aspects of Catholic doctrine, moral theology, and sacramental life. Catholics often prefer therapists familiar with Catholic perspectives on family life, suffering, and personal decision-making, recognizing how faith influences therapeutic goals and spiritual development.
We understand that finding authentic Catholic counseling in rural communities like Pulaski can be extremely challenging, making us especially grateful to provide online Catholic counseling and therapy in Pulaski. Our Catholic counselors expertly integrate Catholic faith principles with clinical excellence, honoring religious convictions while delivering evidence-based mental health treatment that respects the fullness of Catholic teaching and supports both emotional healing and spiritual growth throughout the therapeutic journey.
