Our work is both faith-informed and evidence-based, allowing us to support the whole person—emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. We tailor each session to your unique needs, helping you gain clarity, develop practical tools, and move toward lasting growth and meaningful change.
We are especially passionate about strengthening marriages and relationships, helping couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and rediscover connection.
At every step, our goal is simple: to meet you where you are and help you move forward with hope, purpose, and confidence.
Our Team
Dustin Peters, LMFT
Founder, Therapist
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Tennessee, holding a Master’s degree from Liberty University. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, children, couples, and families in a variety of settings. These experiences have shaped a compassionate, well-rounded approach to counseling and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I am committed to continued growth as a therapist and consider it an honor to walk alongside clients as they pursue healing, clarity, and meaningful change.
While I support individuals and children, my primary focus is marriage counseling and couples therapy. Over a decade ago, I experienced firsthand the life-changing impact of counseling. That journey brought restoration, understanding, and hope into my own life, and it continues to shape the way I care for others. I am especially passionate about helping couples strengthen their relationships, rebuild trust, and rediscover connection.
At Healing Paths Counseling, we are dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe, seen, and supported. Whether you are navigating relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, or a significant life transition, I provide thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs. My desire is to meet you where you are, listen with compassion, and help you move forward with confidence, purpose, and hope.
If you are seeking a Marriage and Family Therapist in Tennessee, or are ready to begin individual, couples, or marriage counseling, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
