Hello
My name is Joshua Hardee.
I am an Intern Therapist who is pursuing a Master’s in Counseling at Trevecca University. I help disengaged couples and trauma survivors rediscover their joy and reclaim a sense of purpose, empowering them to embrace the fulfilling lives they truly deserve.
Let me tell you why I should be your therapist…
My Story
I had a full-circle moment that made me realize counseling was the career I was meant for. I’ve always been a people person, drawn to conversations that go beyond the surface, especially when it comes to hearing and sharing stories. That passion led me to pursue journalism, where I spent my time in undergrad reporting and, later, working full-time at the Myrtle Beach Herald. Those years were invaluable—I learned a lot, grew professionally, and confirmed that I wanted a career centered around people. But something was missing. Despite the powerful stories I covered, I craved deeper connection and meaning.
I was moved by the vulnerability and resilience people showed in their stories. It reminded me of my own experiences, especially how therapy helped me through my parents’ divorce when I was younger. That reflection led me to combine my love for storytelling and connection with my desire to make a real difference in people’s lives. That’s how I found myself on the path to becoming a therapist.
Beyond counseling, I’m a creative at heart. I love the visual arts—painting, drawing, and especially illustration. Music is another passion of mine, and being part of the songwriting community in Nashville has been an incredible experience. These are the things that keep me grounded, alongside my love for reading memoirs and biographies, exploring new places, hiking, and cooking. Nashville has become my second home over the past two years, and I’m excited to continue building connections—both in my personal life and in the therapeutic space.
I encourage you to take the next step and reach out if you want to start therapy.

Horn Counseling
Our Therapy Intake Process
01. Using the button below, you can schedule a free 15-minute consultation. Then, our admin team will confirm the details and email you a short questionnaire to complete.
02. One of our therapists will reach out to you at the scheduled time for the video consultation to learn more about your therapy goals and answer all your questions about the therapy process.
03. Assuming the therapist is a good fit and both parties want to work together, we’ll schedule the first intake session and go from there. If, for some reason, Horn Counseling doesn’t have a therapist that is a good fit for your therapy goals, we want to help you find a therapist that is.

People pursue therapy for a multitude of reasons, each as valid and unique as the individual seeking help. Whether grappling with overwhelming emotions like grief, anger, fear, or guilt, navigating specific needs like BIPOC or LGBTQ-friendly therapy, or addressing complex issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, or ADHD, therapy serves as a valuable tool for growth and healing. At Horn Counseling, we understand the diverse spectrum of challenges life presents, which is why we offer tailored individual and couples counseling services aimed at guiding you toward a path of resilience and fulfillment. Our goal is simple: to provide you with the support and tools necessary to not only overcome obstacles but to thrive in every aspect of your life.
-
We believe in providing professional, safe, and affordable therapy services. That is why we want to offer you multiple affordable options to get the needed therapy services.
Private Pay Options
For individual therapy sessions, we offer 50-minute sessions ranging from $100 to $150 per session, depending on the therapist's level of education, years of experience, and specialties. We understand that your journey is unique, and we want to ensure you have the best fit for your therapy goals.
Health Insurance & EAP Options
We know that you pay good money for your health insurance, and we want to help you get the most out of it. Horn Counseling licensed therapists are in-network with most Lyra, Cigna, and Evernorth Healthcare plans.
If your Horn Counseling therapist is not in-network with your health care plan, we will provide a SuperBill or fancy session receipt that insurance companies use to determine if you are eligible for out-of-network reimbursement.
Please get in touch with your insurance provider to verify coverage before your first session.
No Insurance? Don’t Worry!
We know that sometimes it can be more of a hassle to use health insurance to get quality therapy services. We offer affordable therapy options as low as $50 a session for those who want more options than their health insurance provides or for those who don’t carry health insurance.

We think so! Despite the financial and time commitment, therapy offers invaluable benefits that can impact your life. We have seen this time and time again. From improving mental health and well-being to developing healthy coping mechanisms and enhancing relationships, therapy provides a safe space for personal growth and healing. While the cost may seem daunting, especially when compared to other expenses, prioritizing mental health is essential for overall well-being. Long-term therapy can be life-saving, offering stability and support in navigating the challenges of life inevitably brings. The sooner you seek help, the longer you’ll reap the rewards.
-
Upon your first assessment, your therapist will collaborate with you to devise a personalized schedule tailored to your specific requirements and goals. Generally, we suggest starting with weekly sessions to establish a solid foundation, allowing for consistent progress and rapport building. As therapy progresses, the frequency may transition to biweekly sessions to accommodate evolving needs and ensure continued growth. It's important to note that this schedule is highly individualized, reflecting the unique demands of each therapeutic journey. Rest assured, your therapist is committed to finding the optimal rhythm that supports your well-being and facilitates meaningful development.

At Horn Counseling, we take your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. We will never tell your employer, partner, family members, or anyone else what you share with us. There are a few exceptions under the law, such as when a client is considering suicide or violence to others, where we may need to step in for safety reasons. But aside from these legally required exceptions, we will not share the details of our sessions with anyone outside of our practice without your permission.
If you would like us to communicate with someone about your care, such as another healthcare provider or family member, we can have you sign a release of information form, which we will keep on file giving us permission to share information.

The answer can be complicated as everyone’s therapy journey is unique. Depending on what you are coming in for, your therapy goals, challenges, symptoms, severity, and other factors, therapy can last 3-6 months or two years. Your therapist will check in with you every 4 to 6 sessions to review your treatment goals and discuss your progress. They will then discuss the subsequent 4 to 6 sessions and the plan to accomplish your therapy goals.
Some clients want to work through a specific issue, whereas others may use therapy as part of their self-care routine more long term. The best way to know how long you might be in therapy is to speak with one of our therapists about your needs with a free 15-minute consultation.
-
We provide personalized, high-quality care from well-trained therapists who love their work. We’re passionate about mental health and take pride in continuing to expand our knowledge and skills to help you accomplish your therapy goals. We strive to create a safe, inclusive space to celebrate diversity. By pursuing continued education and training, our therapists remain engaged in supporting our community, including our LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients.
