The Lord used Branches to save my life and my marriage. At a time of great despair, Branches was recommended to me, and I was seen quickly. I can't imagine what my life would have been like had I not had Branches to help me. Hope was brought back into my life and I'm happier and healthier than ever.

People are so kind here. They help people however, whenever they can. They never send people away. They have references if they cannot offer services at the time. They pray with you, care for you. An outstanding group of people that just want to give back to the community. Very Jesus driven!

I recommend Branches staff to help anyone with coping skills needed for any of hard life issues each of us deal with daily. They are well trained & educated, nonjudgmental, loving Christian staff. It was a place I felt ‘safe’ to be able to be honest & open.

How do I cancel or reschedule an appointment?

You may cancel or reschedule an appointment by clicking on the "Appointment Scheduling" link at the top of the webpage or by calling us. A fee of $50 will be automatically charged to your credit card on file if you cancel less than 24 hours prior to your appointment time or if you fail to show for your appointment without notifying us.

What if I do not have insurance and can't afford the fee for a service?

For most of our services, Branches offers financial assistance through our Reduced Fee or Scholarship Program for those who can't pay for a service. We don't want an inability to pay to stand in the way of you receiving the help you desire. Give us a call or email us for more information.

Does Branches accept TennCare or Medicaid?

Regrettably, the State of Tennessee does not permit Branches to accept clients who have TennCare or Medicaid insurance, even if the client is willing to come as a self-pay client. The state has designated providers that are pre-authorized to accept these insurances.

For clients with these insurances, we refer to: DePriest Center: (931) 486-8670; Kimara Wilson-Clarke: (931) 368-3234; Sabin Behavioral Health: (615) 656-3211; Crayton Counseling & Associates (615) 590-3741; Scott Russell (615) 977-0052

https://www.tn.gov/tenncare

These counselors we recommend may not be able to take TennCare, but are not limited to the same rules that we are here at Branches.

Where is Branches located?

We have 4 office locations, each in Tennessee. We have 2 office locations in Murfreesboro, including our main office. Our other offices are located in Nashville and Mt. Juliet. For more info, click here.

What happens if I forget to show up for an appointment or cancel too late?

If you don't show for an appointment or if you cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment time, you will automatically be charged $50 to the credit card we have on file for you. IMPORTANT: If you are using insurance to cover your visits, your insurance company will not cover any portion of this charge, therefore, the full $50 fee will be charged directly to you regardless of your normal copay. In addition, HSA and FSA debit cards cannot cover the costs of late cancellation fees and no show fees.
