Renate Braddy has served as a mental health provider for Franklin County Tennessee since 2019, obtaining her LPC-MHSP in 2022. Before that, her professional background is eclectic but always focused on people and making their lives better. Renate started her professional career with the USAF in 1992 and has been everything from a small business consultant, project manager, buyer, school cafeteria employee…and the list goes on. It is from these varied experiences that she can create the rapport necessary for healing. Renate’s husband of 23 years, Eddie is her biggest cheerleader, along with their 22-year-old son and 20-year-old daughter.

I know the vulnerability it takes to open up to a stranger. I appreciate your trust and I hope you will discover a safe place with me. Let's work together on your goals and your challenges. You know you best! My role is to help you cope better and hurt less, thus thrive more.

My main therapy format is Telehealth but, if you're near the Franklin County Tennessee area I have an office available.

My beginning mental health focus was around facilitating stronger families. This interest grew to encompass those struggling with Sobriety (groups and individual sessions), Justice Involvement, Trauma, Grief, Unhealthy Relationships, Divorce, PTSD, Neurodivergence, LGBTQ, Anxiety disorders, Depression etc.Walking alone with these is so heavy.

I am primarily a Solution Focused Therapist, but I use my Christian faith, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and several other modalities to help you reach your goals. Therapy is not passive, it is active. Be ready to stretch mentally and be prepared to practice your tools outside of our sessions so we can best find what works.

My favorite part of being a licensed counselor is creating safety for my clients. If you are feeling that what you are carrying is hard, need tools to navigate heart break or are interested in support to become a stronger and more confident individual, I would like to support you as we work on your goals.
