Hello! I’m Alethia J. Faison, MMFT and I am aMarriage and Family Therapist located in the Nashville, TN area. With a passion for helping people heal after stressful or traumatic events in their lives, I truly believe that change is possible for everyone if empowered with the tools and strategies needed to actualize it in their own lives. 

I understand that the idea of therapy can, at times, be scary. But, it actually takes courage to make that first appointment. It is important for you to know that your story and experiences matter. Therapy will help you to finally understand yourself and other people better. Additionally, it will help you untangle years of confusion and turmoil and identify and change unhealthy patterns. You are certainly worth the investment.  

That’s why, I want to walk with you on this journey. As a trained clinician, I specialize in helping you to learn healthy coping mechanisms that will aid you in navigating challenging life experiences without burning out or falling apart.
