Originally from the Chicagoland area, Sarah Moats has called Nashville home for more than half her life. She earned her undergraduate degree from Vanderbilt University in 2002 and went on to complete her Doctorate in Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences at Northwestern University in 2007. Sarah spent several years working in hospital and clinic settings before owning and operating multiple barre studios across the Southeast.

Margie is a passionate and deeply committed counselor dedicated to helping clients reconnect with their authentic selves—the part of them that has always existed but may be buried beneath layers of hurt, loss, trauma, grief, and learned patterns of behavior.

Together, Margie and her clients examine what is worth holding onto and what may need to be unlearned or released. Her work is centered on cultivating a relationship with oneself that feels grounded, meaningful, and compassionate.

Margie is EMDR trained (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), having completed the full basic training (Parts one and two) through EMDRIA.

She specializes in working with adults navigating codependency and relationship struggles, addiction and alcohol use, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and spiritual trauma. Margie also has extensive experience supporting clients dealing with perfectionism, people-pleasing, and recovery within a twelve-step framework.

Outside of her counseling practice, Margie is a voracious reader and avid podcast listener, continually seeking to learn from diverse perspectives. She is married with three children, two of whom are in college, and she treasures her time with family and friends. These relationships ground and inspire her work, reminding her daily of the power of connection.

Her clinical focus includes couples counseling and relationship therapy, premarital counseling using the prepare/enrich framework, divorce adjustment, and support through relationship transitions.

Her journey into therapy began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s inevitable challenges. Having personally navigated difficult life transitions, Darlene understands the importance of a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space to process what’s happening. Her background in medical education, with a focus on patient-centered communication at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, strongly informs her thoughtful and collaborative approach to therapy.

Many clients come to Darlene feeling stretched thin, anxious, disconnected, or stuck.

She has extensive training in acupressure, myofascial, and prenatal massage, and holds additional certification in trauma informed bodywork as well as prenatal massage.
