All of us experience loss and changes sometime in our lives. We try our best to move forward but many times we get stuck and can't see how we have been impacted. That can leave us feeling hurt, alone, and scared, and may at times even lead to a mental health disorder. I think many of us during these times are looking for a guide that can see them authentically and help them heal.

Do you feel overwhelmed with a life transition, anxiety, depression, or feel the pain of loss? I use best practice research based trauma techniques which can gently reduce the stress response, eliminate distressing symptoms, and restore your natural ability to heal. I use MBCT (mindfulness based cognitive therapy). which can be extremely helpful to manage feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, or navigate a life transition. Learning this practice can change how you think, feel, and react. I also support you with the pain of grief through meaning and acceptance of your loss I look forward to hearing from you! All the Best, Karen Jo (KJ)

It's the middle of the night and your mind is racing. There seems to always be "one more thing" to do. You've always been so good at crushing your goals. But somewhere along the way, things just started getting harder. Self-doubt and anxiety make decision making seem almost impossible. You're responsible for so many things: your home, your work, your relationships. Sometimes, you may not even remember why you said "yes" to all these things in the first place. So here you are, overwhelmed, unsure, and doing everything you can to "keep it together." You put on your "brave face," hide how you're feeling, and hope no one notices.

My name is Wendy Bovell, LCSW and I have been a licensed clinical social worker in Chattanooga since 2002. In my career, I have found myself in the role of ally, advocate, guide, supporter and confidant. In my 20 years in private practice and 30 years in the mental health profession, I have found that building rapport and offering compassionate support can be the most effective way to establish and maintain the therapeutic alliance. My training is from the holistic systems perspective with overall health being the primary goal, with a special emphasis on the improvement of our mental health.

Death, dying, chronic life-limiting illness, grief, bereavement, anxiety, depression, stress management and life transitions are not issues that should be experienced alone.

Whether you or someone you know, is experiencing one of these concerns, I would be honored to walk through this experience with you in a supportive and compassionate way to help you process and manage your own needs.
