About Dr. Theren
I am a Licensed Psychologist with a mission to help others maximize their potential.  With more than 30 years of experience as a health professional I have helped countless individuals identify their own strengths and weaknesses, while providing them with structure and support as they moved toward reaching their goals.

After I was graduated from high school at age 15, I began nursing school at The University of Mississippi two weeks after my 16th birthday.  I received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at age 19 and began my career in the mental health field.  I continued my studies at The University of Tennessee where I received a Master of Science in Nursing with Special Emphasis in Psychiatric Nursing.  While employed in supervisory roles, including Director of Nursing, I followed my quest for knowledge and obtained, first, a Master of Science degree, and ultimately a Ph.D, both in Clinical Psychology, from The University of Memphis.  Upon completion of an internship in Massachusetts I continued my work as an individual and group therapist.

My area of specialization involves working with entrepreneurs and other professionals who are distressed by problems in the workplace.  In these times of economic uncertainty you may find yourself in an employment situation that is not at all what you envisioned for yourself.  You may feel trapped and frustrated.  I understand!  Having worked in situations in the past that were clearly not a good fit for me, I appreciate the feelings of helplessness and anxiety associated with having to get yourself motivated to go to a job everyday that leaves you feeling drained and unappreciated, rather than uplifted and proud of how you spent your day. 

I utilize a four step process designed to help clients recapture the personal goals that once energized and inspired them.  Call today to get more information.
