LeeAnn Love, ATR-BC, LPC-MHSP (she/her)

Hey y’all! I am LeeAnn Love. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Art Therapist. My private practice and consulting business, Heal with heART, LLC, is based in Nashville, Tennessee. I love the outdoors, travel adventures, my people, and gluten-free sushi. I am a spunky, quirky, and imaginative therapist, who uses outside-the box interventions to help Gen Z-ers find healing along with their unique, authentic voice.

 

I believe in your inherent worth.

I am a relational, collaborative, and approachable therapist; I believe that we are partners in the therapy process. I love empowering my clients in expanding beyond their limitations, taking risks, releasing shame, developing boundaries, and building resiliency through self-compassion and strength-based approaches.

A key part to healing is alchemizing old stories and beliefs.

Through a customized combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, expressive therapies, and holistic interventions, I tailor each session individually, for your specific needs, strengths, interests, and goals, finding practical solutions.

I utilize neuroscience and evidence based, holistic approaches, fully exploring mind, body, soul, and lifestyle interventions to aid in healing and wellness.

Together, we can discover the change you desire.

A native Tennessean, I studied Mental Health Counseling, Expressive Therapies, and Art Therapy at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, starting in 2005. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 10 years working with children, teens, and families in various educational, pastoral, camp, after school, and artistic environments. Since 2008, I have worked as a creative mental health therapist in preschools, schools, outpatient clinics, nonprofit organizations, recovery facilities, and private practice, both in Massachusetts and Tennessee.I have recently shifted my primary focus in my practice towards teens, college students, and young adults, helping them find healing, all with heART.

All people are creative in some way - whether a problem solver, an artist, a cook, or a scientist. All things start from a creative idea or understanding. It is how we, as humans, were ultimately created. Our creativity is fundamental in our healing
Life can throw us many difficulties and challenges. When we face these times, we exponentially transform. This growth always stays with us. Our developed inner resiliency creates new opportunities and new ways of dealing with previously challenging e
Experiencing compassion and offering yourself compassion is key to healing. We live in a go-go-go culture, where pushing harder is valued. In healing, we must slow down, soften, breathe, and ease into moving through difficult experiences.
I have always loved hearing people’s stories: the joyful ones, the mundane ones, and particularly the painful ones. Painful stories can become a part of our identities; but, as we unpack and claim them, they often become our most transformative
