Our Team of Caring Professionals
Wesley Hatcher, LCSW
Specializes in children and young adults from the ages of 4-24
who deal with Anxiety, Depression, Family issues,
Bullying, and many other issues.
I'm passionate about helping others discover their strengths and balance their lives in a hectic world. I primarily work with children and adolescents while they are dealing with challenging times in their lives including depression, anxiety, family transitions, bullying, and self-esteem issues. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based and mindfulness-centered. I utilize various models to best fit each client’s preferences and situations including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Play Therapy techniques. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). My educational background includes a BSW from Auburn University and a MSW from New York University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Tennessee and Arkansas.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, exploring my neighborhood by bike, and cooking/baking for friends and family. I am always looking for new recipes to add to my collection of family recipes that have been passed down by my mother and grandmother.

I rely on Motivational Interviewing, identifying stages of change, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered techniques, Exposure Therapy, and Strengths Based approaches in my clinical work to treat a variety of mental health symptoms. I work with individuals ages 18+ experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, disruptive behaviors, relationship and communication challenges, and low self-esteem.
Part of my purpose with being a therapist is to de-stigmatize mental health. I understand the difficulty many individuals have with reaching out for help and find such strength within those who do. When you are ready, please know it is a privilege to be a part of your recovery team!

their goals. Whether you want to better manage stress, discuss past traumas, or are ready to take those next steps in life, consider allowing me to walk with you on your journey.

Sees clients ages 11 to 60 struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and self-esteem issues.
I am a clinical mental health counselor who has been committed to working in this field since 2016. Over the years, I have earned a Bachelor's in Psychology with minors in Anthropology and Cognitive Neuroscience from Christian Brothers University in 2017, as well as a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Memphis in 2023.

Using a holistic approach to clients' problems, my goal is to create a safe space for "workshop time" where they can create an effective "road map" for navigating life's challenges. Together, we can process how your life and relationships are affecting you, and create a plan of action!

Lauren Wantz,

No matter where you find yourself in life, or what has led you to seek counseling, I wholeheartedly believe that every individual possesses a unique and valuable story that deserves to be heard and understood. My commitment as a counselor is to provide a nurturing and nonjudgmental space for my clients to be their most authentic self. I view healing as a continuous and transformative journey, and I consider it a privilege to offer guidance and support to those navigating their own pathways to well-being.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience working in both in-patient and out-patient settings in the Memphis area.
