Your path to growth and connection

Life transitions, anxiety, depression, or a general sense of being "stuck" can often cloud your perspective. Our individual therapy sessions offer a safe, casual, and poignantly insightful space to process your experiences. Guided by a client-centered approach, our clinicians—led by our CEO, Jared S. Roe, LCSW—work collaboratively with you to develop a customized plan for change. We don’t just offer talk therapy; we offer a partnership rooted in empathy, evidence-based practices, and a genuine commitment to your mental and emotional well-being.

Every relationship encounters seasons of tension, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Our couples therapy focuses on creating a clear path for next steps, ensuring both partners feel heard, respected, and valued. We help couples:

• Improve Communication: Learn to listen and express needs without conflict.
• Restore Trust: Heal from past wounds or disconnections.
• Strengthen Bonds: Rediscover the "why" behind your partnership and cultivate lasting intimacy.

We understand that life is busy, which is why we offer flexible options to meet you where you are.

• On-Site Services: Visit us in the metro Nashville, TN area for in-person support, or
• Telehealth: Access expert care from the comfort of your home across Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky.

At OpenMindEd, we see the person behind the symptoms. We invite you to join us in a conversation that is warm, professional, and transformative.

I’m Jared, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in the intersection of high-performance or achievement and authentic identity. To the outside world, you may appear to "have it all together," yet internally, you may be battling the exhaustion of burnout or the weight of expectations that have stripped the joy from your relationships. I provide a supportive, objective space to help you navigate these pressures. You are the expert on your life; my role is to provide the clinical strategy and partnership to help you reclaim your peace and thrive—both personally and professionally. I believe fundamentally that you already have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you - and they may not be limited to the first ones that come to mind.

Our first session is a high-level diagnostic and collaborative conversation. We will move beyond the surface to identify the specific stressors and systemic pressures bringing you to therapy. Think of this as the "strategy phase" where we establish your objectives, identify immediate pain points, and begin framing a roadmap for your growth.

My approach is rooted in unfiltered authenticity. In a world where high-performers and LGBTQIA+ individuals often feel forced to wear various masks, I offer a space where you can finally take yours off. I combine 25 years of clinical experience with a direct, genuine style that values trust, genuineness, and transparency above all else. I believe that the therapeutic process should be human, not clinical—which means I’m not afraid to leverage the healing power of humor to navigate even the most complex transitions. It's a joy for me to watch my clients unlock their own potential for growth. You are NOT alone, and it is my privilege to be here to support and empower you on your journey.

I am best positioned to serve healthcare professionals, high-performers, and LGBTQIA+ individuals who are ready to do the deep work of identity integration. Whether you are struggling with the "perfectionism trap," facing the specialized burnout common to professionals, or navigating the complexities of living authentically at home and at work, I understand your world. I focus on the whole-human perspective: helping you align your public persona with your private truths. We won’t just focus on symptoms or labels; we will mobilize your inherent strengths to help you live a life that is as authentic as it is impactful.
