Hi my name is Tom Herington I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Tennessee for over 35 years. I have had the opportunity to journey with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, trauma , faith issues, addiction problems and major life changes.
My counseling style is positive with a focus on strengths and virtues to promote change. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, and strength based therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to face the issues of our life in order to reach our fullest potential. If you are ready to take that step I am here to walk with you in this journey.
I look forward to working with you!

Tom has been a fantastic fit for me. He sees things from a biblical perspective, as do I, and comes at his work from that perspective. Something I really need and appreciate. He listens well, quickly identifies the root issues I don’t and explains my situations in ways I understand. He’s also very patient and kind.

Not only did Tom set me at ease from the start with his very friendly demeanor, but he provided insight and advice that proved very helpful in my situation. He’s a great listener, which enabled me to comfortably talk things out as well as sort them out. I highly recommend Tom Herington.
