Autumn Altamirano, LCSW

Autumn Altamirano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience based in Tennessee. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, and the ripple effects of caregiving and multicultural stressors.

Autumn favors a client-centered approach that starts from where the person is. She treats the client as the expert on their life and lets their goals shape therapy. Her practical focus includes cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Attachment-based ideas are part of her work when relationships and connection are central to a problem. She also draws on mindfulness methods to help people notice feelings and urges without immediately acting on them. Sessions tend to mix straightforward skills practice with discussion about patterns that keep problems active.

Autumn has experience across private practice, outpatient, and school-based settings. That variety informs a flexible, down-to-earth style that aims to make therapy useful in daily life. She collaborates with clients to set clear goals and step-by-step plans for change.

Her background includes an undergraduate degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. She lives in Nashville and balances clinical work with family life and recreational activities like soccer and cooking.
