Services
The institute offers individual therapy, couple therapy, and family therapy, available in person in Nashville or through telehealth for Tennessee residents who cannot visit the office. According to the site, telehealth sessions are conducted over encrypted Google Meet video conferencing. The practice addresses concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and communication and relationship issues, and the therapists draw on systems theory and a relationship-centered perspective. Brief questionnaires are used to track client progress over time.
The therapists employ evidence-based interventions including CBT, DBT, EMDR, EFT, and the Gottman Method, among roughly 20 or more established therapeutic approaches noted on the site. In addition to therapy, the institute offers consulting services that apply systems theory, cybernetics, scientific assessment, relationship dynamics, and human development for individuals, couples, businesses, and corporations, and which may include systemic assessment through personality inventories. The site explicitly notes that consulting is not therapy or counseling and does not involve mental health diagnosis or treatment. Regarding fees, the practice lists a sliding fee scale ranging from $60 to $250 or more per 50 to 55 minute session depending on client income and therapist caseload, and it accepts cash, check, card, and HSA payments, with a 24-hour cancellation policy.
About
The Briggs Institute was founded by Justin Gregory Briggs, Ph.D., LMFT, who serves as its primary leader alongside colleagues who are also licensed therapists. The practice describes a treatment philosophy in which effective psychotherapy goes beneath surface stressors to help clients strengthen their sense of self-worth, work through inner conflicts, and build lasting emotional resilience, and it states that it adapts interventions to individual client strengths rather than applying one-size-fits-all methods. The institute reports that, on average, clients move from distressed states toward maintenance or enhancement within a small number of sessions, while emphasizing that client engagement is among the strongest predictors of success. Its therapists maintain memberships in professional organizations, including American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy Clinical Fellow status and American Psychological Association Full Member designations, and the site notes ongoing weekly supervision and consultation.
