Getting to know Dr. Heather Hargis

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) physically based in the Cool Springs area, but also see clients virtually throughout the state of Tennessee. I hold a Ph.D. in Mental Health Counseling from Belmont University and a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Lipscomb University. As an LMFT, I use a deeply relational and systems-based approach. I honor the patterns, experiences, and connections that shape who you are and how you move through the world. I view our lives as chapters and believe it is never too late (or too soon) to intentionally author our own story.

What should a new client know about working with you?

People often seek therapy for support, care, and the healing techniques a professional can offer. These are all realistic expectations. Therapy can also provide a safe place for expressing and exploring feelings. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the music industry, as well as a marketing, creative, and technical writer. This background allows me to bring curiosity, creativity, and strong communication skills into the therapy room, helping clients name their experiences and rewrite unhelpful narratives with clarity and compassion.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first session, we'll talk through your reason(s) for seeking counseling and your goal(s) for the counseling process. If after our first session, you feel another professional would better suit your needs, I will make a referral with your goals in mind. Your care is my first priority. After that, our sessions will be structured around what you bring into therapy and how that aligns with your goals.
