Nancy Truett, LPC

Nancy Truett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 23 years of experience in counseling and substance abuse treatment. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and related challenges. Nancy draws on long experience in agency and college settings as well as private practice.

She has worked with a wide range of people, including those in residential substance treatment and students in alternative school programs. Nancy has used arts-based ideas in counseling and brings that practical creativity into sessions when it fits. Her background includes leadership roles in college counseling services and ongoing doctoral study in adult learning.

Nancy uses several clinical approaches to help people manage difficult emotions and reactions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s goals and experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common tool she uses to identify patterns of thought and behavior that fuel anger and anxiety.

She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, for trauma-related work when clients and circumstances make it appropriate. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when changing substance use or habits is a goal. Narrative Therapy is another option to reframe personal stories that keep people stuck.

Nancy’s training and roles emphasize trauma, psychological and emotional abuse, and work with women and marginalized groups. She combines clinical practice, program leadership, and research to help people find clearer ways to handle anger, relationship strain, addictive behaviors, and life transitions.
