My Approach to Helping

"Action is the proof of committed intention." The Human Spirit drives the desire to heal, thrive, and evolve. This is the basis of my counseling practice, and I invite you to come in and share your own personal story. If I can be of some help to you please contact me. Give me a call: 615-665-4475. Or email me at ralphchilds@gmail.com

More Info About My Practice

Music and Creativity are a big part of my life. I continue to work professionally as a bassist for Don McLean, and had over 25 years as a full time recording musician before becoming a therapist. I have found that the Human imagination is often at the center of so-called "mental illnesses," and I work with people to discover a positive use for their inherent creativity.
