Hello, I am Christal Pennic a Native of Nashville. I am a licensed mental health therapist and grief wellness trainer.  I provide traditional talk therapy and Brainspotting(Trauma Processing Model) for individuals, families or groups for ages 10+. I enjoy teaching and processing with my clients whether in individual therapy, group,  or family sessions. 

​

I am a therapist that also started my own grieving process at 14 years old after the death of my 18 year old brother.  I am aware that for some-Grief and loss can cause a loss of identity, a decrease in hopes for the future and the dreams once pursued.

​

As I journey with my clients I want them to learn that every grief or loss is unique to them. You could be mourning the death of a sibling, parent, child, colleague, loved one-or grieving the loss of independence due to a medical diagnosis, being a caregiver or experiencing empty nest, retirement, new promotion, divorce, adoption, change of schools. The challenges of both joy and sorrow living in the same home is a reason to start the healing journey with TPGCC.

I have experience working with victims of crime through Metro Nashville Police Department, working with youth in various community organizations. I have trained Metro Nashville Staff on trauma informed care and the symptoms of trauma. I also have experiencing providing grief, bereavement and mental health wellbeing training classes to medical professionals and churches.

My consultations include providing conflict resolution between families, navigating state custody, prepping your organization on improving the mental health of their employees and plans on bereaved employees returning to work. 

​

 Grief Recovery groups and a grief and loss retreat coming soon, stay tuned. 

 Allow me to join you on one of the hardest journey's ever traveled.
