Emily St. Amant

I am a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee and work with students all over the state. I work with people who are dealing with things like stress, difficult transitions and circumstances, traumatic events, grief, discrimination, and systemic marginalization.

I specialize in working with people seeking recovery from the abuse they experienced in their families, intimate relationships, workplaces, religious and faith communities, and also survivors of cults and other high-demand/control groups. Additionally, I work with those who are living with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, suicide risk, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I also specialize in working with people seeking recovery from substance use and also welcome clients who are active substance users.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds and strive to offer a safe, affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, disabled individuals, and other marginalized groups. Being a military spouse myself, I am honored to work with active military members, their families, and veterans. I identify as neurodiverse and love working with others who also see the world a little differently. Feel free to check out my website to learn more about my experience and specialties.

Those who work with me can expect to experience a safe and supportive space. My approach is very down to earth, and I aim to use research-backed therapy interventions in a way that’s accessible and helpful. I believe no two people need the same approach. There is no universal formula for creating positive change. Your path is your own. The job of a counselor is to help you find your footing and support you on your unique journey.

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Please reach out to get that scheduled, or if you have any questions you’d like to ask first. I look forward to hearing from you!
