Meet Salem

Salem Horne (he/they) holds an Ed.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Middle Tennessee State University and a B.S. in Dramatic Arts from Martin Methodist College. Salem is a native Tennessean whose practice prioritizes historically marginalized people through the use of both feminist and person-centered counseling.

Feminist counseling focuses on understanding how gender and social power dynamics affect people’s experiences and mental health. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing societal inequalities, such as sexism, racism, and classism. In this approach, therapists aim to empower clients by helping them understand these influences and find their voice. It’s about promoting equality and advocating for social change, encouraging clients to explore how their identities shape their experiences.

Person-centered therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, is based on the belief that everyone has the capacity for personal growth and healing. In this approach, the therapist creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their feelings and thoughts. The therapist listens empathetically and reflects back what the client shares, helping them gain self-awareness and clarity. The idea is that, when given the right support, people can find their own solutions and develop a stronger sense of self.

Salem believes fiercely in the autonomy of all clients.
