Our Team
JOnathan Moore, LMFT
Hi, my name is Jonathan. I am a Tennessee native and live in Nashville with my wife and two children.I enjoy spending time with my family hiking, taking walks, and exploring new places, playgrounds, and parks in the area. Some of my favorite things to do are reading, drinking good coffee, running, writing, and camping. I am passionate about working with men and male adolescents and seeing them become the men God has designed them to be.
I attended Lipscomb University for my undergraduate schooling. After this, I received my first Masters Degree in Spiritual Formation from Northwest Nazarene University. I then received a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University.
I am a Licensed Marital and Family Therapist and have been in private practice since 2016. I am the Executive Director of Telos Counseling Group and am currently in the process of becoming an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. I am a Clinical Fellow Member in good standing with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy.
As a marriage and family therapist I have specialized in working with men and male adolescents with a focus on men’s issues, lifespan development, and relationship concerns. My therapeutic lens is deeply rooted in a Christian world-view, attachment theory, existentialism, and systemic theory. I use these theoretical lenses to build a therapeutic process that is unique to each client, their story, and their goals.
If you have any questions at all for me please feel free to reach out and I will be happy to answer them. I look forward to getting to talk with you soon. jonathan@teloscounselinggroup.com
Ryan Luke, Graduate Intern
Hello, my name is Ryan. I was born and raised in and around Franklin Tennessee. I am a Graduate intern here at Telos, and I love the work I get to do here. Out of the office, I enjoy reading, music and games of all kinds, exercising, and talking around a firepit. I am passionate about working with whoever walks into our door. I want to give people a place to explore their stories and to walk alongside them on their journey to health.
I graduated and received my Bachelors of Arts and Sciences in Education from Tennessee Tech in 2022, and am currently attending Trevecca Nazarene University for my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
As an aspiring marriage and family Therapist, my therapeutic lens is influenced by emotionally focused therapy, structural therapy, internal family systems, and attachment theory. Every person has a story, and I use these tools to personalize treatment to each client's needs and goals.
I am always available at my email if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you.
Rochelle Kennedy, LPC-MHSP
My therapeutic approach is essentially governed by the idea that individuals are three-fold: body, mind, and spirit. I believe that the most effective counseling takes all three elements of who we are into consideration. We were each created to be whole people and complete healing can only take place when we ensure that those three basic elements of who we are are growing.
From a specifically mental health perspective, I lean heavily on cognitive behavioral therapy with a touch of acceptance and commitment therapy as well. I believe that we can be in control of our selves, including our emotions, and that boundaries are an important element of healthy human relationships.
When working with trauma, specifically PTSD, as well as depression and anxiety, I also often rely on my training in EMDR as a therapeutic tool.
My journey to counseling as a career began in high school when a wise mentor told me that I was “too nice to be a lawyer”. After careful consideration, I realized that I loved learning about human coping and relationships. After completing my master’s degree in mental health counseling from Middle Tennessee State University in 2013, I took 5 years away from practice to be a stay-at-home mom. In 2019, with four small children at home I decided to embark on a new season and opened my private practice. I was fully licensed in January 2022.
I spend most of my free time with my four beautiful kids and my smoking hot husband, laughing and playing, and often singing loudly and dancing to the music that usually fills our home. I love crafts and typically try something new each year, while still enjoying some of the old ones as well. I love to read and write as well.
I am always available at my email if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you.
