Services Offered
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling is for people with a variety of struggles. Most mental health issues are rooted in broken relationships. Whether your struggling in a present relationship that is causing anxiety, past relationational trauma that is showing up as depression, or feelings of abandonment toward God, cousneling can help you process those relational wounds and start finding healing and freedom.
Couples Counseling
Couples cousneling is for a variety of different circumstances. If you are a dating couple trying to decide if you are a good fit, or an engaged couple wanting premarital counseling, or a couple that's been married stuck in the same pattern of dysfunction for years, I can help you deepen your connection and find clarity in your relationship.
Group Counseling
I run a Christian group for men struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors. If you are interested feel free to reach out and I can give you more details!
At Hope Restored Nashville, I believe at our core we're all seeking connection. We put up walls with the people we care about when we don't feel safe. In therapy, you will be provided a safe space to explore your emotions and what motivates those walls and work start to be able to let your partner or others in your life in to what's going on inside, so they can begin to understand and have compassion for where your coming from. You will get an opportunity in couples therapy to hear about what's really going on inside your partner as well.
This process is done through model of therapy called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy). In EFT we will explore the current cycle that is leading to disconnection in your relationship, and then over time we will begin to unpack the emotions that are underneath the anger and frustration that lives at the surface.
For those struggling with compulsive sexual behavior I use a variety of techniques based on reasearch by Patrick Carnes and the structure of the 12 Step Model, to help create a recovery plan. I also offer a therapy group for additional support during this time.
The most important approach I have to offer is one of total nonjudgment, and a committment to understanding and making sure you have an additional teammate in your pain to explore emotions, and potential healing paths in your journey.
My temporary license number is 2033. All supervision is done under the care of Andy Dunn, LMFT (License Number 1000).
My Vision and Approach
Hello! My name is Trevor Walton and I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. I am a bright personality who enjoys being active playing sports or walking/hiking with my wife Emily. I love my St. Louis sports, and also enjoy watching theater or the newest gripping show on Netflix. I earned my Undergraduate Degree in Biblical Studies at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL. After graduation, I got accepted to Teach For America and was placed in Nashville, TN. Here I taught high school Math for 2 years at Pearl Cohn High School. During this time I also received my Masters in Education at Lipscomb University. After completing my commitment with Teach for America, I decided to follow a new passion and start a career in therapy. This decision came out of my own experience in recovery and working through my own pain and negative cycles in my relationship in therapy. I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy at Trevecca Nazarene University in 2021. For my internship program, I counseled individuals and couples at Brentwood Baptist. I now own Hope Restored Nashville in hopes that I can offer healing to those seeking help for their relationship. I am in the process of receiving hours toward my full license. My temporary license number is 2033. All supervision is done under the care of Andy Dunn, LMFT (License Number 1000).

Testimonials
"Trevor has a calming presence that made us feel comfortable sharing our feelings. He was also very open to hearing both sides of our story. With his help, we mapped out the cause-and-effect transactions that contributed to certain behaviors. Just being aware of this has helped both of us tremendously in our understanding, and now we can communicate more effectively."
Couple's Counseling
"My wife and I really benefited from our time with Trevor. He was able to quickly understand our different personalities and start to help us better understand each other. We really valued our time working with Trevor as our marriage is better for it. I definitely recommend Trevor every chance I get."
Couple's Counseling
When I walked in the room to be introduced to Trevor, in my mind, i was too broken to be fixed. We agreed to meet regularly . Over the times we met, Trevor asked me many questions that I did not want to answer. He asked me to write down and share things that I did not want anyone else to know. He used tools and skills that seemed and belonged to a much older person. Trevor's empathy and personal experiences built up my confidence. It built the trust that allowed me to expose the fears and resentments that caused the addiction that had been in my life for so long. His kindness and encouragement made me better able to face the truth. Today, I am more like the person that God wants me to be. I'm grateful to Trevor for helping me in my recovery as I celebrate 14 months of sobriety in a few days.
