Individual & Couples Therapy, Serving Nashville Brentwood & Murfreesboro
What Makes Our Nashville Counselors Different?
This is all we do. And we do it really well.
At Red Therapy Group, our team of dedicated therapists specializes in one thing:
helping people heal their most important relationships.
Whether you’re seeking couples counseling in Nashville, individual therapy, or support for your family—we use a powerful, research-backed model called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to guide the process.
We’re not generalists.
We don’t dabble in a little bit of everything.
We are highly trained, stubbornly committed EFT therapists—and we’ve seen this model change lives.
“Do one thing, and do it really well.” That’s our philosophy.
And it’s why our clients come to us when they’re ready to stop spinning—and start actually changing.
You Love Each Other, So Why Does it Feel This Hard?
You want closeness.
You want to feel like a team again.
But every conversation feels like a trapdoor—one wrong word and you’re falling into the same old fight.
One of you shuts down. The other pushes harder.
Both of you end up feeling alone and exhausted.
You’ve read the books. Tried to stay calm. Maybe even done therapy before. But nothing’s truly changed. And honestly? You’re exhausted from trying.
If you’re ready to stop the cycle and find the love you long for, our couples counselors can help you move through it—together.
How EFT Couples Counseling in Nashville Can Truly Help
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you do more than just talk about the problem—it helps you heal the pattern underneath.
Because that tension between you? It’s not about the dishes. Or the weekend plans. Or who said what first.
It’s about protection, fear, and disconnection.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is the most effective, evidence-based approach to healing relationships. It has been studied for decades. The research is clear. And more importantly—we’ve watched it work with our clients, again and again.
How Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Works:
Understand what’s really happening underneath the conflict
Express core emotions that often stay hidden
Learn how to reach for each other in new, healing ways
Rebuild safety, trust, and closeness—one conversation at a time
This isn’t communication skills 101.
This is science-backed, attachment-based work that helps you change how you relate at the deepest level.
It works for couples. It works for families. It works for trauma.
It works—because it’s human.
Understand what’s really happening underneath the conflict.

Rates & Frequently Asked Questions
-
EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) helps people reconnect with themselves and others. The effectiveness of this method is backed with extensive clinical research. EFT is used with individuals, couples and families. Clients like EFT because it goes deeper than behavioral change, getting to the heart of what drives negative patterns. Watch this 2 minute video to learn what makes EFT different.
-
In the first session, your therapist will listen closely to how you see the problem and what brought you into therapy. Together you’ll unpack the bigger picture and make a plan for your treatment moving forward. Our therapists are non-judgmental and efficient. They work hard to make sure you feel heard and at the same time gather relevant information so they can help you!
-
The short answer? It depends. (You knew that was coming, didn’t you?)
While we can’t make any guarantees, most clients feel relief after the first session. You should feel understood, seen and confident your therapist has a plan for your treatment. Typically, clients start to feel a marked difference after 6-12 sessions. Beyond that, you’ll collaborate with your therapist about frequency and duration. We have a clinical map to guide us. There are markers that we look for along the way. That, plus your input helps us know where we are and about how much longer we have!

I’m so glad you asked! Actually, most therapists have a caseload of about half and half - couples and individuals. A few therapists on our team are specifically trained in family work. We use Emotionally Focused Therapy for all of it and yes, we’re most known for our couples work. But, if it’s individual or family work you’re needing - please reach out! We’ll match you with a therapist that is specifically trained for what you’re looking for.
-
For hourly sessions, we have therapists ranging from $60/hour for a graduate student intern to $200/hour for our most experienced therapists. For an elevated experience, we also offer 3-day intensives. For more on that, visit our intensive site.
-
We are a self-pay counseling practice, so we do not take insurance. But we do provide superbills to clients who would like to submit a claim for reimbursement with their insurance company.

How to Get Started with a Nashville Therapist
Step 1: Reach Out
FILL OUT AN INQUIRY FORM. You may already know the therapist you want to work with. If not, no worries! Laura, our Care Coordinator will help you decide which therapist is the best match for your needs.
Step 2: Speak with a Counselor
Our Care Coordinator is the most lovely client advocate you’ll find. Tell her what works best for you (schedule, location, etc). She knows the therapists very well and knows their particular strengths so she can match you well.
Step 3: Get Matched
BOOK A SESSION! Once you get matched with a therapist, Laura will help you schedule your first appointment. You’ll never have to question what happens next. She’ll walk you through every step of the way.
Step 4: Begin Your Journey
Show up. On paper, this is the easiest part - but we recognize it’s actually the most vulnerable. Your therapist wants to know exactly where you are. Bring all your thoughts and feelings. Together, you’ll make sense of everything and slow it down, making space for clarity and connection.
