“The Nashville Financial Empowerment Center helps individuals who are tired of being overwhelmed by debt, budgeting issues, or trying to save money,” said Kathy, a Nashville Financial Empowerment Center Financial Counseling Specialist.

As long as clients are willing to try improving their financial situations, Kathy knows they can achieve their desired results.

“Many of the clients who come here for help are having problems saving money or living paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes they set the bar too high on their financial goals. We help them come up with plans and set goals that are realistic.”

Kathy and her colleagues at the Nashville Financial Empowerment Center take pride in eliminating the financial stress experienced by Davidson County residents every day.

“The biggest challenge for our clients is for them to face their fears. After they leave their first session, I know most feel better than when they walked in. When my clients reach their pinnacle — whether it’s purchasing a home, establishing a savings account or building their credit — it’s rewarding for me.”
