Hello!
I’m Esther Chelladurai, a Licensed Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP #5956) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor (LADAC-II #1562).
If you’re reading this, perhaps you’re beginning to prioritize yourself, your well-being, and your self-care and that takes courage.
I believe therapy is about more than simply learning how to cope. It’s about understanding yourself, healing from what has hurt you, and discovering the confidence and resilience you need to move forward.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel heard, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and take the next step toward the life you want.

“The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.” — Blaise Pascal
Healing begins when we create a safe space to listen not just to our thoughts, but to our body, our emotions, and our deepest self. Real balance isn’t about fixing something that is "broken." It is about aligning your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self to fulfill what we all need: safety, connection, purpose, freedom, and joy.
If you are carrying trauma, navigating emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don't have to carry it alone. I work with adults, adolescents, and children (ages 9+) to help untangle deep-rooted pain and build practical pathways toward lasting relief.
My Clinical Foundation: Calm, Adaptable, & Deeply Experienced
My approach is built on years of intensive, high-acuity clinical work across Middle Tennessee. Having navigated high-volume crisis care, inpatient addiction recovery, and complex trauma settings, I bring a steady, unshakeable presence to our work together. No situation you bring to therapy is too complex, heavy, or overwhelming.
Whether helping a child regulate their nervous system, guiding an individual through addiction recovery, or helping someone process deep grief and life transitions, I meet you with profound empathy, clarity, and non-judgmental support.
A Tailored, Neuroscience-Informed Approach
Because healing is not one-size-fits-all, I integrate advanced somatic and evidence-based modalities customized to your unique nervous system:
-
Brainspotting & Somatic Processing: Phase One and High Acuity trained practitioner accessing subcortical trauma and grief stored in the body where talk therapy falls short.
-
Relational & Experiential Therapies: I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) principles, Expressive Arts, and Therapy through play for children and families.
-
Cognitive & Behavioral Modalities: CBT, DBT skills, MBCT, Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), and Motivational Interviewing.
How We Can Work Together
I specialize in supporting individuals (9+) and families navigating:
-
Trauma, PTSD, & Emotional Overwhelm
-
Anxiety, Panic, & Intrusive Thoughts
-
Addiction, Recovery, & Co-Occurring Disorders
-
ADHD, & Neurodevelopmental Needs
-
Grief, Loss, Aging, & Major Life Transitions
Ready to Take the Next Step?
“Sometimes healing means learning how to find hope in a life that looks different than we expected.”
If you are ready to challenge old patterns and move toward meaningful change, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Your past explains where you’ve been, but it doesn’t have to define where you are going.
