For when life gets Hazy

You are so welcome here

Amber Hayzlett, LCSW, Amber Kowing, Nashville EMDR Therapist

Hello, everyone!

My name is Amber Hayzlett, and I am the proud creator of Hayzlett Counseling Co. As a licensed mental health professional based in Tennessee, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking guidance & growth.


At Hayzlett Counseling Co we specialize in working with women, men, and LGBTQIA+ adults on their journey toward self-acceptance, embodiment, and spiritual exploration.

  • Embracing our true selves can be a challenging process, especially when societal expectations and personal judgments weigh heavily on our minds. We strive to help clients break free from these constraints, fostering an environment of self-discovery and acceptance.

  • Our bodies are not only a vessel for our physical existence but also a gateway to understanding our emotions and experiences. Through therapeutic techniques and mindful practices, I aim to guide clients towards a deeper connection with their bodies, enabling them to fully embrace their physical and emotional selves.

  • For many individuals, finding meaning and purpose goes beyond the surface of everyday life. For some, this means healing from a history of religious trauma or unlearning childhood teachings that no longer align with you. We provide a supportive space for clients to explore their spirituality, or lack thereof, and engage in a journey of self-discovery. Together, we will explore various spiritual practices and belief systems that resonate with their unique values and experiences.

Therapeutic Focus

  • We are honest in our humanity inside and outside of work. We believe that when we show up as who we are, it gives you permission to show up as you. Ultimately, that’s the goal.

    “People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, ‘Soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner.’ I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds. -Carl Rogers

  • We enter the therapeutic space with the lens that most of us have experienced trauma. For some, this is really obvious trauma. For others, it might be a million little things or maybe the lack of some really important things, like love, safety, or connection.

    "I’ve had the privilege of being trained in and experiencing IFS and EMDR. I happily bring these modalities into sessions and provide psychoeducation on how trauma impacts our brains and bodies." -Amber

  • No one client or session is the same. Our training has allows us to intuitively weave in different theories and approaches. While engaging in narrative-based therapy I might pull from existential,feminist, humanistic, psychoanalytic, and systemic theories.

Therapeutic Approach

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

-C. Jung
