Get To Know Us

About Branches

Branches exists to facilitate hope, healing, and growth through compassionate mental and emotional health care rooted in Christ-centered values. Through counseling, psychiatric medication management, life coaching, intensive counseling, groups and workshops, training and education, and other supportive services, we walk alongside individuals and families through a wide range of needs and seasons of life.

We believe excellent care should be both personal and accessible. Through multiple Middle Tennessee locations, virtual services, income-based rates, and donor-supported scholarships, we work to remove barriers that can keep people from receiving the help they need.

Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission

Branches is a non-profit organization that facilitates hope, healing, and growth through compassionate mental and emotional health care rooted in Christ-centered values.

Our Vision

We envision a world where hope and healing are available to all and where every person has the opportunity to grow into who they were created to be. 

Our Values

Three convictions guide everything we do at Branches: care should be affordable, grounded in Christ, and accessible to all. Through income-based rates, scholarships, four county locations, and virtual services, we work every day to remove the barriers that keep people from getting the help they need.

Our Story

In 2006, after experiencing the healing that mental and spiritual health care brought to his own life, our founder felt called by God to create a place of emotional and spiritual healing in Middle Tennessee.

That vision became Branches in 2007—a place where highly trained, compassionate Christian professionals could care for the whole person and where financial circumstances would not determine whether someone could receive help.

What began as a small counseling ministry has grown into a multidisciplinary mental and emotional health organization serving thousands of people through counseling, medication management, life coaching, intensive programs, groups, education, and other services.

Nearly two decades later, the mission remains the same: to facilitate hope, healing, and growth through compassionate care rooted in Christ-centered values.

What Makes Branches Different

Our approach is shaped by several commitments that have been part of Branches from the beginning.

Christ-Centered

Our work is rooted in Christian values. We welcome people from all backgrounds and beliefs and seek to treat every person equally with dignity, compassion, and respect.

Compassionate
& Professional

Our providers combine professional training, evidence-based practices, and genuine compassion to care for each person as an individual.

Accessible

With multiple locations throughout Middle Tennessee and convenient virtual services, we work to ensure high-quality care is always easy to reach, offering flexible scheduling to fit your life.

Whole-Person Care

We recognize the connection between emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual well-being and seek to care for the whole person.

Affordable

We believe finances should not keep someone from receiving needed care. Income-based rates and donor-supported scholarships help make our services available to more people.
