About me

Hello, and welcome to Regain! You are here to find some assistance with something that is going on in your life. I’d like to help you! Let me tell you a little about myself.

I earned my master’s in social work at the University of Montana in 2013, where I focused on co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Since then, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Tennessee.
My work as a therapist is guided by the humanist theory that people can heal and grow if they have assistance that is genuine, empathetic, and accepting. I believe that when we accept ourselves exactly as we are, then we can find the strength to change behaviors that are not serving us. I specialize in working with people who have substance use, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict issues. The approaches I use include dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, motivational interviewing, positive psychology, attachment theory, and family systems theory.

I commend you for taking this step and exploring options for getting some help with whatever you are going through. I would be honored to work with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephanie Adams. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

She is very responsive and is very patient with both of us. My partner and I have gotten to the point where we felt like we wanted to give up and she helped us push forward with our therapy.

Stephanie has been such a HUGE help to me and my partner. She has listened to us, helped us to clarify and communicate better with one another, and she has provided us with invaluable tools to help us identify and address our grievances in an appropriate way. My partner and I still have a lot of work to do, and relationships aren't always easy, but she has helped us to build the healthy foundation that we lacked before, as well as the necessary guidance and tools that we need to continue to build upon that foundation in a healthy way. We are extremely grateful for her help and kindness. This has been so good for us.

For the first time, I actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Steph listens to both parties, gives us her input, and ways to work on our issues. I truly believe, Steph will be able to help us overcome our issues. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with her thus far!

Work with me!
