Empowered Counseling
Uncover your truth
Hi there!
Thank you for visiting the site! My name is Liza McFarland (she/her) and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Mental Health Service Provider in Tennessee. I specialize in working with young adults on issues related to identity and self-esteem, ADHD and impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors (binge eating, substance abuse, self-harm, etc). I also have experience working with a wide variety of common issues like anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I started the Empowered and Struggling Blog after realizing I could use this forum to share information and potentially help more people than I could ever hope to see in individual sessions. There just aren’t enough hours in the week! I hope to start a new conversation about what it means to be authentically, unapologetically you. Watch the introduction video below to learn a little more about me!

It was believed that this was the day that the veil between the living and the dead was thinnest so the…
Identity Issues
I talk a lot about identity on this site but what does it mean? Identity encompasses a lot of factors including personality traits, appearance, beliefs, values, and much more. How a person defines themselves is dependent on how they were raised, their social experiences, adversities, education, etc. There is so much involved in identity development…
