Lasting change
Therapy, Coaching, & consulting
I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate:
Relationship dynamics and communication skills
Shifting behavioral patterns and creating lasting change
Imposter syndrome, performance anxiety, and authenticity
Stress, overwhelm, and career satisfaction in high-pressure careers
Healing from trauma and overcoming codependency or substance use
My work also addresses the unique challenges of executive, creative, and high-profile careers, fostering balance and emotional well-being.
Welcome
I’m Lucy Kozak Cesnik, LMFT, licensed marriage and family therapist, level 2 IFS practitioner, consultant, and entrepreneur with a background that bridges both business and mental health. I spent the first two decades of my career as a marketing executive and agent in the music industry, working alongside remarkable artists and navigating the complexities of a fast-paced, high-profile environment.
Today, I support individuals and couples facing challenges like communication struggles, relationship strain, imposter syndrome, trauma, and substance use. My work is informed by developmental psychology, systemic therapy, and attachment science, helping clients understand how early experiences and relationship patterns shape their current lives. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and experiential approaches like psychodrama, I help clients access deeper healing and lasting growth—bringing together my understanding of human behavior and the unique pressures of creative and high-demand lives.
I’m based on Nashville’s Music Row and offer both in-person and virtual sessions, including coaching for traveling professionals worldwide. If you’re ready to take the next step toward greater balance and connection, I offer a complimentary consultation to explore how we can work together.
Curious about what it’s like to work with me and how I approach therapy? This video gives you a look into my therapy office and what it's like to work with me. Since the relationship between therapist and client is critical for success in therapy, I offer a complimentary consultation as the first step in my new client process.
