Welcome
I’m Lucy Kozak Cesnik, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist and a highly trained expert in psychology and mental health. I work with people who are managing stress, life transitions, and the pressure to perform, helping them understand what’s really driving their choices and behaviors.
I spent the first two decades of my career in the music industry, becoming an expert in the psychology of why people go to concerts, social media, technological innovation, and how shared experiences create connection. Along the way, I noticed something curious: even with fame, success, and money, people still struggle to feel satisfaction and connection in their daily lives. That led me to ask bigger questions—why do people keep seeking escape, relief, or change, and why do so many books, podcasts, wellness trends, and life hacks fail to help?
I went back to school to study psychology and psychotherapy, diving into the root causes behind our choices and the patterns that shape how we live. Today, I guide clients through the cluttered fields of psychology and wellness, helping them to establish the quickest path to lasting change and discover what actually works so they don’t have to waste time experimenting on their own. My work is about helping people to increase vitality—having the energy and strength to live life fully, encompassing physical vigor, mental sharpness, emotional balance, and resilience to face challenges and thrive—even when life is complicated or high-pressure. I help clients get more of what they truly want in their everyday lives through creative, practical solutions.
Based on Nashville’s Music Row, I work with clients in person, virtually, or both. I offer a complimentary consultation to explore how I can help you make sense of your patterns, get clarity on what matters, and focus on what truly moves your life forward.
Curious about my approach to therapy? This video offers a glimpse into my office and what it’s like to work with me. Because the relationship between therapist and client is key to success, I offer a complimentary consultation as the first step in my new client process.
