Mindful Journey Therapy

Welcome to my site! I’m happy you are here and either taking the first step in improving your life or continuing on a journey you started in the past.

My name is Shaine Malekgoodar and I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP #3368) in the state of Tennessee. My practice is located in Sumner County where I have been in the mental health field for over 13 years, 11 of which have been licensed. Let me start by saying I love what I do. I’m here to help in any way I can, but rely heavily on developing a positive, therapeutic alliance with clients, which includes healthy boundaries, goal-setting, and some laughter as well as tears.

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues that include depression, anxiety, abuse and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond. More recently, I have begun extensive research in pre/peri/post-menopausal mood disorders from an evidence-based standpoint to support women living through these stages of life. My ultimate goal is to help individuals overcome the challenges that occur on a daily basis, but for years, my wheelhouse has been treating trauma, using Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).

I have found that everyday stress can become overwhelming and can result in self-destructive behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. I offer support and assistance in searching for ways to achieve growth in your personal life and relationships. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for.
