The Estuary Services
The approaches to counseling and mind, body, spirit therapies offered at The Estuary include many goals and techniques of traditional therapies but place them in a larger, more expanded context for understanding human behavior. There is something in all of us that seeks freedom, wholeness and connection. Humans desire to play, to create, to go where no one has gone before.
The therapeutic goal of these restorative paths is the awareness of and control over your own energy patterns. The ability to respond with an energy pattern necessary to deal with life is a precise art.
In addition to the more traditional therapeutic techniques, the services at The Estuary may use a variety of healing methods to help you expand your awareness, experience the meaning of consciousness as a form of energy, and to realize you already know everything you need to know. Awakening enough to receive this message is the purpose of the services at the Estuary.
To schedule an individual appointment, you may speak with our director to find out who would be the best therapist for your needs. Visit our staff pages for individual therapist contact information.

We also will tailor a class to the needs of your group or organization on a variety of topics such as stress relief, relationships or spirituality.

Energy Therapy
In addition to the free clinics, 30 minute energy therapy appointments are also offered by all Estuary staff and can be booked individually to work with someone around your own schedule.
Integrative Therapy
Integrative therapy is based on a mind/body/spirit philosophy and consists of experiential talk therapy, energy therapy, or a combination of the two.
Talk therapy consists of exploring and deepening our relationship with our emotions, thoughts, and physical body and becoming more aware of how they influence and interact with each other.
One of the fundamental principles of integrative therapy is that healing one level of the mind, body, or spirit can affect healing on the other levels. By exploring all three levels of ourselves simultaneously, we believe deep and lasting healing to be possible.
To schedule an appointment and/or to have a screening to find the therapist who would be the best fit for your needs, please call 615-467-6462.
Pain Management
Do you struggle with:
- Back or neck pain?
- Migraines?
- Pain due to autoimmune disorder or other illness?
The purpose of our work is to help you get into a different relationship with your pain. When you step into a different relationship with your pain, you stimulate your body's own healing response. As a result of changing this relationship, pain relief usually occurs. We work to help your mind, body, and spirit connect at a deeper level, in turn bringing healing to a deeper level.
In conjunction with hands-on therapy, clients may also choose to discuss with their therapist any current emotional and lifestyle issues to facilitate the healing process. Integrative therapy combines talk therapy with energy therapy, which we believe provides the most long-term relief.
Cancer Recovery
The Estuary offers integrative therapy for those who are undergoing treatment for cancer and to cancer survivors. Energy therapy enhances the immune system and the body's ability to heal itself. It may also:
- Reduce pain, nausea, and side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
- Help with radiation fatigue and exhaustion.
- Enhance the physical, emotional, and spiritual ability to heal.
In conjunction with energy therapy, clients may also choose to discuss with their therapist any current emotional and lifestyle issues that they would like to address. Some clients choose to engage in talk therapy without hands-on therapy.
Other services offered by the Estuary include:
- Therapy for family members who are struggling with their loved one's illness.
- Death and dying counseling for the individual or the family.
- Couple’s therapy for couples seeking a conscious, healthy partnership.
