Sandi Hines, LCSW, CCTP

About Sandi Hines

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee with over 15 years experience working as a therapist/counselor. I work with clients who are having a difficult time with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, complicated bereavement, anger, loneliness, self-esteem issues, relationship issues including family and/or marital issues, caregiver stress, and multi generational living. Clients have come to me for guidance due to sudden life changing issues e.g. health issues, aging, traumatic loss of independence and disability and sudden death such as suicide or accidents. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional working with clients on collective/group trauma such as mass shootings, survivors of tornado/hurricanes, PTSD (non military) that includes both emotional and physical abuse, and others who suffer from compassion fatigue (healthcare workers experiencing burnout and stressors - caring for COVID patients, caring for terminally ill patients, traumatic brain injuries and so on). My counseling style focuses on you and helping you determine what is the most important issue that is interfering with your ability in living a healthy, full life. I use a variety of therapy techniques and modalities such as (CBT) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Problem Solving strategies and at times I incorporate relaxation and/or mindfulness techniques to assist you with managing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, anger and frustration. My goal is to help you find ways to successfully cope with your stressors, manage your depression, reconcile your losses so you can move forward in your life. So you can breathe again, fully function, live. My goal is to provide you with a safe and caring atmosphere that is centered on helping you with making positive changes to find a more fulfilling, healthier and happier life. My goal is to help you find you.
