Couples & Relationship Therapy in East Nashville
Find your way back to each other.
Even strong, loving couples get stuck in the same arguments, grow distant, or lose the words for what they really need. Couples therapy is a place to pause, reflect, and find a new way forward — together.
Welcome
We all have parts of ourselves that feel hard to share, even with the people closest to us.
Maybe it’s the desire you’ve been afraid to name. The anger you’ve swallowed to keep the peace. The grief that still weighs heavy, long after everyone else has moved on.
Often, the very places where we feel stuck or in conflict hold the key to deeper connection, new clarity, or long-overdue change. Together, with openness and compassion, we’ll explore what’s underneath it all — so you can move toward more honest, more fulfilling relationships with others and with yourself.

Jessika Malone, ALPC-MHSP
An intuitive, emotionally attuned, and profoundly nonjudgmental approach.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based modalities — including the Gottman Method for couples, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy. But the real work is less about techniques and more about creating a relationship where you feel safe enough to explore honestly.
In addition to my clinical training, I bring over two decades in the arts as a producer, director, and intimacy coordinator — experience that makes me uniquely attuned to nuance, power dynamics, and emotional intensity.
Also available
Alongside couples work, I offer individual therapy for a limited number of clients — with a focus on the relational concerns that sit closest to my couples work.
