Ondria Spivey

Ondria Spivey is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Tennessee with 24 years of clinical experience. She holds a mental health service provider credential from the state and her license number is 1720, which reflects her qualification to provide therapy across a range of settings and populations.

Her work spans individual and family therapy and addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and loss, relationship and family concerns, parenting and adoption-related issues, self-esteem and compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, ADHD, and professional burnout. Ondria’s background includes work in inpatient, residential, and outpatient programs, serving children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. She has served as the Clinical Director for a residential treatment center for children and youth and later as the Clinical Director of an outpatient counseling center; she currently maintains an independent practice.

Ondria’s approach to counseling centers on the importance of relationship - both human relationships and relationship with God. She believes people tend to be most whole and healthy when those connections are thriving, and that broken or poorly functioning relationships can create deep pain. Reconciliation in relationships, whether between people or in one’s spiritual life, is a central theme in her work.

As a follower of Christ, Ondria draws strength and comfort from her faith and believes scripture contains resources for truth, wisdom, and healing. When clients share that faith or are open to exploring it, she incorporates faith, scripture, and prayer as meaningful components of therapy. At the same time, she values evidence-based psychological tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a framework she frequently uses because it highlights how thoughts and beliefs shape feelings and actions, and it has a solid record of helping people create practical change.

Recognizing that each person’s situation is unique, Ondria is committed to tailoring interventions to what makes sense and feels helpful for each individual. She aims to partner with clients to move toward greater peace, resilience, and joyful living.
