Aleana Young-Hilsinger, LCSW

Psychotherapist
TN
As an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help individuals navigate life transitions, trauma, anxiety, and depression. My journey started at The University of Tennessee, College of Social Work, graduating in 2011. Since then, I've worked in numerous settings, including Residential and Intensive Outpatient, community mental health, physicians offices, and private practice. Practicing trauma-informed care, I employ EMDR - a certification I hold. I believe that understanding the foundations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is crucial for clients to comprehend the therapy process. But we don't stop there; we probe your personal goals and I introduce you to practices demonstrated to empower a gratifying life. My treatment approach also encompasses Mindfulness Based Therapies, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Transpersonal Psychology. As someone who promotes holistic wellness, I offer assistance in achieving spiritual ambitions. Formerly a Reiki Master/Teacher, I incorporate Reiki into EMDR treatment when suitable. My clients come from the LGBTQIA+ community and represent a variety of multicultural backgrounds. My open-minded, non-judgmental and spiritual attitude forms the basis of my work. I draw healing inspiration from nature and mindfulness practices. In my leisure time, you'll find me hiking, camping, drumming, dancing, or embracing the simple joys of life. Consider me "the cat lady"; my Maine Coon cats may make a cameo during our sessions. Becoming a therapist was a personal decision, influenced by my experiences and family history. I've faced many adversities and empathize with my clients' trials. My goal is to help others cultivate happiness, peace, and joy in their lives. With my prowess in effectively treating chronic mental health issues and helping many process traumatic experiences, I aim to inspire, empower, and instill hope in my clients. I look forward to accompanying you on your healing journey.
