Perfectionism
You like that you have high expectations of yourself. But life is getting more complicated and trying to be 100% right about every decision you make can feel crushing..
You keeping thinking that something is wrong with you. You’ve asked all your friends what to do but still haven’t made a decision. You can’t stop wondering if someone is mad at you. Your stomach hurts (so you must be dying). Saturday night was supposed to be fun but ended in you acting out the loudly crying emoji.
This is what we therapists call: anxiety.
You probably know that some anxiety in life is unavoidable. But if stress, overthinking, decision making, your future (not to mention the apocalypse we are living in), have you feeling like it’s all too much – I’m so glad you found me.
The internet is full of support for the college years. There is still a HUGE advantage to hiring a 1:1 therapist. I’m Jody Dianna, a specialist in steering dozens of young adults, college students, and their parents through one of the most impactful stages in life. I consider it my job to get young adults, like you, to the finish line of your choice. And if you are a parent that is unsure of what to do while your loved one struggles, I can help you feel like you are doing enough for them. While keeping your own sanity.
Get Good With Stress
While anxiety therapy is my primary focus, I also help with stress management, panic attacks, navigating an emerging awareness of neurodivergence, and parent support. I use evidence based techniques that are rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but go beyond that with an interpersonal style that includes finding solutions, building strengths, and Brainspotting. I’ll be your cheerleader with a primary goal of you leaving every one of our sessions feeling like your mental load just lost a few pounds.
Although based in Murfreesboro, TN, my clients have represented several Tennessee colleges including: Belmont University, UT Knoxville, Vanderbilt University, Lincoln Memorial University, and MTSU (of course). I have worked with parents around the country who have students at big schools in places like: Virginia, Mississippi, Georgia, and California. My secure, online methods save all of us time and helps turn down the volume on the tension in the whole family.
You can stop crashing out and get on with it already. Contact me today.
If your parents have said:
“I want to help you but I don’t know what else to do”
YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Failure
You know you shouldn’t compare yourself to others, but how can you not?! Holding it all together is exhausting. Giving up is your worst fear but burnout seems to be around the corner.
People Pleasing
You don’t want anyone to be upset with you. The thought of someone being disappointed in your choices or actions is unbearable.
Overwhelm
The state of world is hard for you to ignore. After adding that t your daily tasks, you feel over-taxed and under-resourced. It is easy to slip into hopelessness.
