Hi, I'm Kiley Steele, LMFT, RN.

If you're here, there's a good chance you're carrying something heavy. Maybe you've been living with anxiety, feeling disconnected from yourself or others, struggling with the impact of past experiences, or simply feeling stuck despite your best efforts to move forward.

Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that change is possible.

I believe that many of the challenges we face are not signs that something is wrong with us, rather, they are often adaptive responses to experiences, stress, and relationships that have shaped our nervous systems over time. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where we can work together to understand those patterns, process what has been difficult, and create lasting change.

  • My work is grounded in the understanding that healing happens through both the mind and the body.

    While insight and understanding are important, many struggles, especially trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and relationship difficulties, are also held within the nervous system. This is why I take an integrative approach that combines traditional talk therapy with evidence-based and body-based therapies that help create change at a deeper level.

    I draw from approaches including:

    • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

    • Somatic Experiencing®

    • Attachment-Focused Therapy

    • Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB)

    • Polyvagal-Informed Therapy

    • HeartMath®

    • TIST

    • LENS Neurofeedback - COMING SOON!

    Together, these approaches help clients develop greater nervous system regulation, process unresolved experiences, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with a deeper sense of safety, resilience, and self-trust.

  • Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Registered Nurse. That experience fundamentally shaped how I view healing.

    As both a therapist and a nurse, I recognize the powerful connection between emotional, physical, and nervous system health. I understand that symptoms such as anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, emotional reactivity, or feeling disconnected often have roots that extend beyond thoughts alone.

    This perspective allows me to help clients understand not only what they are experiencing, but also why their bodies and nervous systems may be responding the way they are.

    My goal is never to "fix" you. Instead, I help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself while creating the conditions that allow healing and growth to emerge naturally.

  • I primarily work with adults and couples who are seeking meaningful and lasting change.

    Many of my clients are navigating:

    • Trauma and complex trauma

    • Anxiety and chronic stress

    • Relationship and attachment challenges

    • Childhood emotional wounds

    • Burnout and overwhelm

    • Life transitions

    • Emotional disconnection

    • Nervous system dysregulation

    • Personal growth and self-discovery

    Many are highly capable people who appear to be functioning well on the outside while privately struggling with stress, self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, or patterns they cannot seem to change on their own.

  • Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, collaborative, and direct when needed. And you might also even hear me cuss a little.

    I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. You are the expert on your life and experiences. My role is to bring clinical expertise, curiosity, compassion, and guidance as we work together toward your goals.

    I strive to create an environment where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported, while also helping you move toward meaningful growth and change.

  • When I'm not in the therapy office, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and our blended family of four kiddos. Life is rarely quiet around our house!

    I love being outdoors, whether that's camping, kayaking, gardening, or simply enjoying a beautiful Tennessee day. Being in nature is one of the ways I recharge and reconnect with myself.

    I'm also a big fan of concerts, a good crime documentary and great food! I appreciate both adventure and quiet moments and I believe healing often involves creating more space for both in our lives.

    At the heart of everything I do, both personally and professionally, is a belief in the power of connection, resilience, and growth.
