​​​​​Providing Professional Counseling in Lebanon, TN

​

MAI Counseling Services LLC  

Paymun Najmi, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker certified through the Tennessee Board of Social Workers. I am a Nashville native and I have been fortunate to provide therapeutic services to adults, children and adolescents within the Greater Middle Tennessee area in a variety of professional settings. Through my experiences in the mental health field, I have learned about numerous barriers individuals and families have faced in accessing and securing mental health treatment. I believe the biggest step has been taken, when through these barriers, you have sought out support and assistance to make a change in your life. These changes may include, but not be limited to: seeking improvements in mood and thinking patterns, motivation to adapt behaviors, learning skills to manage life’s stressors and improving relationships with others and ourselves. I have had the pleasure to assist in meaningful change through my experiences in working with individuals, couples and families. I believe that you are the expert in your life and are fully capable of creating the change you want, I just want to be there to equip you with the tools and help guide you there. 

I am currently providing therapy to individuals of all ages, couples and families. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, family/marital problems and individuals/families experiencing life adjustments and transitions. My approach to therapy is to provide a warm, supportive and nonjudgmental space within a person-centered model. I primarily use techniques and interventions consistent with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy while integrating components of Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy Skills Training, and trauma-focused interventions. I will work with you in a collaborative manner to tailor your therapy to your needs and preferences. I look forward to witnessing your healing process. 

Paymun accepts Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, BCBS, Optum/UHC, and UMR. For self pay, sessions are $100 for 50 minutes.

Jennifer Reeves, LPC-MHSP, NCC (Owner)

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a designation of Mental Health Service Provider (MHSP) serving Lebanon​. I am certified with the National Board of Certified Counselors. I began my career by providing treatment for those struggling with substance abuse in a residential substance abuse setting as well as an intensive outpatient setting in Nashville, TN.  I provided individual, group, family, and marital therapy for substance abuse, dual diagnoses, and the severely and persistently mentally ill. As I continued my professional career, I expanded my work to include children and adolescents. I specialize in working with adults, children, and adolescents who are struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance abuse, and anger management. I am experienced in working with personality disorders, family conflict, and developmental disorders. I have knowledge and experience working in coordination with court systems, and also within school systems.

I offer psychotherapy for individual adults or children ages 16 and older. I approach therapy with a Person-Centered approach, which recognizes that everyone is an individual with a unique history, strengths and potential. I also will utilize a Cognitive – Behavioral Approach and will work with each client to identify patterns and develop realistic solutions to their issues. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress and are a result from disturbing life events.

I am also an approved supervisor and would love the opportunity to supervise new graduates working towards licensure.

I strongly value seeing every client as an individual. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming care. I find genuine enjoyment working with each client and believe it to be a privilege to be a part of every individual story. Beginning therapy can be a challenging step towards a more positive future. Taking that step is vital to growth and future happiness. It is an honor to be a part of that journey.

Erick Farmer, LPC-MHSP

Therapy is an experience that I have seen from both sides, as a client and clinician. This is why my approach comes from an empathic, relative point of view. My belief is that a client knows more about what they need better than anyone else. However, we all need guidance and assistance at times to help unlock our potential. My therapy style can be unique to some, but it is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I have worked in the mental health field for over a decade. Through this experience, I have learned that each client has their own set of core beliefs, maladaptive coping skills, and a significant barrier to obtaining the life we deserve is difficulty managing uncomfortable emotions. Because of this, I aim to aid clients to grow comfortable with feelings in the moment during sessions, and over time, gain confidence understanding that emotions do not harm us. As a result, we can work to change these unhealthy behaviors one may use to numb and escape feelings that are destructive and harmful. Along with my master’s in education with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I am a certified Addiction Educator as well. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults (18+). Healing is a marathon, not a race. And I look forward to accompanying my clients on this journey to discovery.
