Tennessee Nightlife founder and president Josh Davis, (a.k.a. Big Josh Stud), stated, “I’ve always loved the party scene. At the end of the day I’m not trying to promote myself or a particular club, I’m trying to promote a way of life. We’re well known in Middle Tennessee as not only party people but also the people to turn to when you need a local bar or suggestions for dates as well as news on events and openings.”
Tennessee Nightlife provides details about events and happenings in bars, nightclubs, events, bands and restaurants in the Mid-South.

Nashville welcomes GLBT therapist
Dawn Beatty received her license to practice therapy in Tennessee this summer and has opened a private practice in the Cool Springs area.
Dawn M. Beatty, MA, EdS, LMFT, is more than just another therapist in Nashville. Besides specializing in GLBT counseling, Beatty has an impressive history of important psychology research work. Beatty's most recent study is on the relationship between childhood trauma and domestic violence in gay and lesbian relationships: “The intergenerational transmission of violence.”
When asked about working with the GLBT community, Beatty commented, “I am glad to be working with the GLBT community in the Nashville area, whether that is in providing diversity training or therapy or developing friendships. In my line of work, I have seen many individuals and couples suffer from the hands of oppression because of people’s personal views. It is important that we all work together to educate our communities about respect and equality, and begin to raise those who are disempowered and marginalized. I look forward to more networking to learn how I can be helpful to the GLBT community.”
For more information on diversity training, individual and couples therapy, or psychological testing, contact Dawn M. Beatty at 615-587-5490 or beattyda@shu.edu. Evening appointments are available.
