About

Kari Needham is a dedicated mental health professional with a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Minor in Music from Belmont University. She graduated in 1997. Shortly after completing her degree, she founded a specialty paint business that offered custom murals, wall and furniture finishes, as well as color consultations for both residential and commercial clients. 

Kari's life took a transformative turn after she and her husband adopted their oldest son in 2002. This experience reshaped priorities and fueled desire to serve others in a more profound way. Motivated by the importance of meaningful connections and personal growth, Kari transitioned her focus from aesthetics to supporting individuals as they navigate their own life changes.

In 2009,  Kari enrolled at Trevecca Nazarene University. She graduated in 2011 with a Master’s in the Art of Counseling, and went on to earn her Mental Health Service Provider license from the State of Tennessee in 2014. 

Kari Needham's commitment to ongoing professional development has led her to specialize in several therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples and individuals. Additionally, she is a certified Prepare-Enrich Facilitator, dedicated to helping couples strengthen their relationships.

Passionate about fostering resilience and empowering individuals on their personal journeys,  Kari looks forward to the opportunity to support you in making meaningful changes in your life.
