Meet the Franklin Clinic Providers

Amy Shelton, PhD

Clinic Director

I began my career as a College Therapist and Counselor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and have over 10 years of experience in both counseling and teaching psychology.

She has a passion for helping people and provides care with a patient centered approach. Amy uses an integrative counseling method that leans heavily on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to meet each patient’s individual needs. She is EMDR trained and works with patients who are dealing with trauma.

Andrew Holmgren, PhD

Clinic Supervisor

I approach counseling from a collaborative perspective, in which you, the client, and I work together to identify ways to address your concerns and meet your therapeutic goals.

In session, I take an interpersonal stance where we explore the ways that your relationships with others can impact the concerns that brought you to therapy as well as how these concerns might impact your current relationships. I firmly believe that each client has the ability to accomplish their goals when they can engage authentically in a nonjudgmental therapeutic space.

Jeri Hulan

Clinic Administrator

I have over 15 years of leadership experience in healthcare across several service lines, but the genuine care and compassion of both our Staff and Providers is incomparable.

I am incredibly lucky to support our associates in delivering the highest quality service to our patients and their families each day. We are all on life’s journey to find purpose, fulfillment, and peace. Our Team at Family Care Center is here to help you along that path when you need it.

Lee Moore

LCSW

Worry happens in your mind, stress happens in your body, and anxiety happens in your mind and your body. In small doses, worry, stress and anxiety can be positive forces in our lives.

But most of us are too worried, too stressed and too anxious. How do we manage this worry, stress and anxiety in a healthy manner? My strength is building rapport, empathy and holding space for my clients by listening and utilizing curiosity. Focusing on both the physical sensations in your body and sharing life challenges is a comprehensive approach to therapy. I utilize EMDR, narrative therapy, emotional freedom, somatic exercises, technique(tapping), DBT and CBT.

I want to support you on your journey!

“You are a light; You are the light! Never let anyone – any person or any force – dampen, dim, or diminish your light. Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant. Lean toward the whispers of your own heart, discover the universal truth, and follow its dictates.” – John Lewis

“Progress, not perfection.” The healing journey begins with any step taken to improve yourself, and every step deserves to be celebrated.

As a strengths-based therapist, my aim is to help you rediscover and cultivate your internal and external resources towards the purpose of becoming your best self. We will celebrate each victory and grow from every struggle taken in your journey of improvement and healing.

Candice Beatty

LPC-MHSP

It is okay to not have all the answers. Asking for help and guidance is a form of self-care that you deserve.

Challenges and struggles in life are a human experience. Sometimes navigating these events is confusing and overwhelming. It is okay to not have all the answers. Asking for help and guidance is a form of self-care that you deserve. Counseling offers a safe place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, your past and hopes for the future. Along the way, finding insight, accessing your skills and inner strength will give you the hope and motivation to continue on your journey. “Growth is never by mere chance. It is the result of forces working together.” James Cash Penney. I have over 20 years of counseling experience and I enjoy working with those age 16 and up.

I utilize a relational, strengths-based approach while incorporating evidenced based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, and play-based interventions.

I have worked in a variety of settings to help teens and adults work through mental health challenges.

Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, self-expression, or feelings that you just don’t understand, I’m here to listen and ready to offer you a safe space to explore who you are and how to live your best life.

Life can be tough… but you don’t have to walk the journey alone. As a therapist working with individuals and couples, I believe that counseling can be a pathway to a more empowered life.

Alexandria Shoemaker

PMHNP

I have experience treating all mental health diagnoses recognizing that we are treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis, and that all treatment plans need to be individualized and tailored to each person as no two clients are the exact same.

My specialty as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is meeting clients where they’re at in their mental health journey and helping them push past barriers to achieve their optimal level of not just basic functioning, but overall wellness. I am excited to meet you, hear your story and most importantly formulate a plan to help you feel like the best version of yourself whatever that may be.

What our patients say

“Family Care Center has been providing me and my family with vital therapy sessions for some time now and they have provided us with so much insight and understanding for one another. We are healing and without Family Care Center I don’t know if it would have been possible. I highly recommend Family Care Center for families looking for guidance or anyone wanting better for themselves with the knowledge of how to do so.”

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience with our therapist. She is excellent with helping couples work through issues, while giving helpful, insightful, expert advice on how to have a better marriage. She is also great with parenting/step-parenting and had great advice for my teen step-daughter as well. I can’t recommend Family Care Center enough!”

“I have searched most of my adult life trying to find people like the ones at Family Care Center. These kind and compassionate people are not only experts in their field, but they are also people who have compassion and sincerely listen. These kind and loving people make every effort to direct individuals toward the proper treatment plan and go to great lengths in doing so. I’m so very grateful for all the kindness and understanding bestowed upon me. From those who are employed in Customer Service and Reception to the Coordinators as well as the Doctors and Therapists. I highly recommend!”

“We were looking for a psychiatrist for our son and a therapist he could relate to. From the first visit we could tell they were different in a very good way from other providers. Our son used to not like going to his appointments and did not get along well with his therapists but here that has changed. We are very happy with the care he is receiving and recommend them to others we know who are struggling with finding a good provider.”

“Easy and quick to make an appointment. Considered my needs and was able to connect me with a great therapist. They've gone above and beyond to help me figure out how to help me develop a healthier mental state and how to deal with medication-resistant depression.”
