Hi there! I'm Claire, a licensed professional counselor living and working in Knoxville, TN. I know the journey to finding a therapist can be daunting and think you should be proud of yourself for taking this step! I have been working as a therapist for five years, three of those working exclusively with sexual trauma survivors. Through this experience, I realized my passion is creating safe spaces for people to explore their experiences without fear of judgment. I would consider it a privilege to create a space like this for you.
I am currently accepting in-person and telehealth clients 16 years of age and older living in TN. I offer talk therapy (primarily CBT, DBT, & ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). If those jumbled letters make no sense to you, don't worry! I am happy to work with you to determine which treatment type would be a good fit for you.
If you feel that a safe, non-judgmental space would be of benefit to you, please reach out via phone or email.
Call or Claire Ward now for a free 15 minute consultation - (865) 276-8289
