I stayed at the Rutledge house and had probably the best experience of my life! Everyone there treated us fantastic. Think of it like a retreat where you can actually focus on yourself, without all of lifes hassles. I was in a dark place when I found this place. I am from Kentucky where places like this simply don't exist. They asked me some questions to make sure I qualified, and I'm glad I did! They helped me a lot and were able to get my medications right as well as give me a bunch of tools to help cope with society. They diagnosed me as well. I really can't speak highly enough. 5* for sure and I would add more if I could. If you're wanting to find yourself again and serious about your mental health, trust me, Don't hesitate!💯 😁 Edit: I went to the Murfreesboro location recently as well and feel obligated to express my appreciation there as well. Everyone treated me so nicely which allowed me to adjust and feel comfortable much faster. The staff was great as well as the amenities! These places allow smoking but in designated area so as to not interfere with people who do not choose to do so. A BIG thank you to everyone!!

Symptoms of Anxiety

Here are a few common symptoms:
Being worried or anxious most of the time, even when there is no apparent reason.
Getting physical sensations such as rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, or shortness of breath.
Avoiding certain situations or activities because they trigger anxiety.

Having trouble focusing or being easily distracted due to anxious thoughts.

Types of Anxiety Disorders We Treat

Anxiety is an umbrella term, and the label alone rarely explains what a person is living with. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), about one in three American adults will experience an anxiety disorder at some point in life. Knowing which form you are facing shapes the therapies your clinical team leans on first. The table below outlines the forms of anxiety treatment Nashville adults most often seek at our Murfreesboro-area facility.

Type of Anxiety

What it can feel like

How treatment helps

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Worry that attaches itself to everyday matters and refuses to switch off

Therapy targets the worry cycle itself, alongside psychiatric support

Panic Disorder

Sudden surges of fear with a pounding heart, dizziness, or a sense of losing control

Clients learn to read early body signals and interrupt the spiral before it peaks

Social Anxiety Disorder

Intense fear of being judged that makes meetings, classes, or gatherings feel unsafe

Gradual, supported practice restores confidence in social settings

Phobia-Related Anxiety

An outsized fear tied to one specific object or situation

Careful, step-by-step exposure shrinks the fear response over time

Many adults arrive carrying more than one of these at once, sometimes alongside low mood or broken sleep. Because our clinicians address overlapping conditions together rather than one at a time, a second diagnosis never has to wait its turn. Symptoms also rarely stay in their lane: sleep suffers, focus slips, and irritability builds until relationships feel the strain. Naming the pattern early is often what turns a hard season around.

Not sure which description fits? You do not need a diagnosis before calling. Contact Nashville Mental Health at (916) 587-6860 or visit our Contact Us page for a free, confidential assessment, with no pressure and no obligation.

Is Residential Anxiety Treatment Right for You?

Weekly outpatient therapy serves many people well. For others, anxiety has grown loud enough that an hour at a time cannot keep pace with it. That is the gap Residential Treatment was built to close: you live on-site at our facility in the Murfreesboro area, a short drive from Nashville, where quiet, structure, and clinical attention are constant instead of scheduled. Days pair one-on-one sessions with group work, meals prepared by a private chef, and rest in a pet-friendly setting that feels nothing like a hospital.

When stepping away from home is not realistic, our Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) delivers structured anxiety care by secure video to adults statewide across Tennessee, from Franklin and Davidson County to the far corners of the state. Both programs belong to the same continuum of mental health treatment in Nashville, and moving between levels as your needs shift is expected rather than exceptional.
