About

Hello, I’m Dr. Chanel Thomas, a Board-Certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner. As a Black, queer, and neurodivergent individual, I bring a unique perspective to mental health care, ensuring that my patients feel truly heard and supported. My goal is to empower you to take control of your health journey by affirming your experiences and partnering with you every step of the way.

 

I specialize in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma while offering support for work-life balance and burnout. Whether you're navigating life’s challenges or seeking to improve your overall mental health, I’m here to craft personalized wellness plans tailored to your needs. My expertise extends to evidence-based treatments like Brainspotting and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I always approach care holistically, integrating therapy and medication management as appropriate.

 

I’m deeply committed to serving the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities in Tennessee, offering a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story. I know seeking help can be a difficult step, but you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll navigate the path to mental well-being. Reach out today to start your journey with an initial evaluation, and let’s work toward the healthier, happier life you deserve.

 

Treatment Philosophy:

 

My treatment philosophy centers on compassionate, patient-focused care. I believe in treating you as a whole person, not just your symptoms. By taking time to understand your unique needs, I create individualized care plans that prioritize your goals and well-being. With expertise in primary and mental health care, I address diverse concerns holistically. Using evidence-based practices, open communication, and preventive health strategies, I aim to empower you to lead a balanced and fulfilling life.
