Lance Pritchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Lance is passionate about helping people identify and conquer the obstacles that stand in the way of them achieving the wellness and stability that they are striving for. He specializes in addictions, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. After working in substance abuse treatment facilities for most of his career, Lance has accumulated a lot of experience working with folks struggling with addictions and the associated mood, relational, and other issues that frequently go along with that.

Lance completed his Master of Science (MS) in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern Adventist University in beautiful Collegedale, TN. He has a great deal of experience using behavioral interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as integrating motivational interviewing and some solution-focused ideas into his therapeutic work. Lance brings a combination of real-world experience and technical knowledge to the table in a way that helps his clients feel heard, understood, and cared for. He emphasizes creating lasting change through identifying and changing negative beliefs that a client may have about themselves, the world around them, and their own ability to interact with that environment.

Lance will work with you to amend impaired thinking, change negative behaviors, and to develop a meaningful spiritual connection with a higher power of your own understanding. Maintaining a sense of wellness or making lasting positive change in your life is difficult even when things are going well around you. When you consider the amount of turmoil and chaos present in our society today, it is causing people who would normally be very functional and stable to struggle and falter under the pressure. This environmental stress also hurts those who may already be struggling with mental health or addiction issues, causing these conditions to worsen. This is nothing to be ashamed of, but also not something to be ignored. Lance doesn't have any magical answers, and doesn't promise that things will suddenly get easier; but he has the experience, empathy, and compassion to help you on the next leg of your journey to wellness. If you are looking for someone to empathetically walk with you through your current struggles, and to help you navigate upcoming hurdles as well, you are welcome to schedule an appointment with Lance today!

I have 22 years of licensed experience as a professional counselor and supervisor working with men experiencing anxiety, anger issues, ADHD, panic attacks, OCD, and relationship issues. I typically work with men who struggle with ADHD or OCD, are leaders in their fields, but cannot seem to get work done or connect with their families. Generally, these men have anxiety on top of guilt or shame and feel "less than" others in their fields. Oftentimes, they experience anger and resentment in their relationships and may feel like they are treated like a child. If you can relate, you came to the right place!

I use a very interactive approach to counseling — no more "sitting in silence" for 45 minutes! During sessions, I use CBT and short-term, solution-focused therapies to help men see their "stinking thinking" and get motivated to make the changes needed to be a better man. Men leave with homework to practice newly learned skills.

I understand what it feels like to try to "push through" without any results. I also know how difficult it is for men to ask for help. I help men build a framework of solutions that actually work. You will feel understood and gain hope that you can make needed improvements. You see the problem — now take action!
