Therapists in Chattanooga, TN

I believe that people make sense within their context. And so, I am mindful of context - cultural background, attachment style, family and relationship history, etc. I enjoy the process of listening and attending, especially to those whose voices may feel unheard, such as teens, women, and trauma survivors. My work is informed by an integrative and embodied approach, utilizing various family system theories and trauma-informed interventions. Through establishing a sound therapeutic relationship and safe environment, I am hopeful that your difficult emotions will "make sense," and a story of resilience and compassion will be heard.

If you feel weighed down by overwhelming emotions and life events, an empathetic ear can be a source of healing.

You’ve been the rescuer, the caregiver, the rock for years, and it’s finally taking its toll on you. You’ve learned to hide your fatigue and your pain really well. In fact, you’d be surprised if anyone knew how much you really struggle and how your thoughts race at night when the world is quiet. Words like “weak” or “not fit for duty” push you to burrow down further into your isolation. But what if there was a better way? Together, we are going to work through this. You have finally found a place to exhale.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience. I am devoted to living this precious life well and to support others to do the same. The focus of my practice is to help others identify the habits and patterns operating in their lives that are not working in their best interests, then support them to find freedom from them, so that they are no longer haunted by the past or paralyzed by fears of the future, but rather are then free to pursue their hopes and dreams. Together we can allow the sirens of our symptoms to guide us toward health and wellbeing.

I acknowledge and respect the effort it takes to reach out for help. The strength it takes to say "enough!, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired". The courage it takes to choose towards something more, something better, than where you are at right now. Thank you for being here! What if every wrongness was a strength not yet acknowledged? You are stronger than you think and worth so much more than you can imagine. The fact that you are reading this right now is proof of that!

In the words of Virginia Satir, sometimes we prefer the certainty of misery over the misery of uncertainty. As we wrestle with our shame & fears, we often adopt patterns of controlling, avoiding, and numbing instead of accepting and confronting our suffering as God-given catalysts of growth and even purpose. We sink deeper and continue to cling to what is familiar and comforting in the short run, forming harmful relational habits or cycles of impulsive acting out over time. Know that you aren’t meant to bear this burden alone. Counseling is for those brave enough to embrace their vulnerable state and learn from it.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and you may feel out of control, but positive life changes are possible. I will provide a safe environment to help you identify your fears, clarify the vision you have for your well-being, and give you skills to achieve your goals. I specialize in trauma, attachment wounding, emotion regulation, anxiety, depression, grief, and couples issues. I work with individual adults and couples. I love my work and find it extremely rewarding when clients' relationships become more fulfilling and they take charge of their life.

Whether you feel stuck or just need support in learning to communicate with one another, I am here for you.

I offer help with those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, ADHD, spectrum disorder, grief, adoption, and more. As a therapist I have experience working with adolescents, families, and premarital couples counseling!

Hi, I am Eboni S. Long, LMFT. I thoroughly enjoy working with individuals and couples to create change in their interpersonal relationships and other areas of their lives. Using a trauma lens helps me to see my clients past their presenting problems and acknowledge all the paralyzing hurts they have experienced physically, mentally and emotionally. While I see a variety of presenting problems, I am passionate about treating individuals and couples who have experienced trauma and infidelity.

Over the past 28 years, I have enjoyed working with individuals, couples and families from a relational perspective. I particularly enjoy working with men who struggle with issues of communication and intimacy.

While I am a Christian, I welcome those into my office from all world views and perspectives.

Life is hard and we all need a supportive safe space from time to time to process and heal. I walk with my clients through the trials of life with compassion and 30 years of experience bringing an accepting presence, clinical expertise and if desired, the wisdom of a Christian worldview.

Life can become overwhelming at times. I consider it a privilege to walk through difficult parts of your journey with you.

I grew up in Cambodia and had monkeys and a ape as pets.

I believe that my office is a safe place to land when you feel unsteady, unstable and unsure. I love to help couples and families work through hurt and discover ways to move forward. I love to provide safe space to be honest and raw. I love to help people learn to communicate in healthy ways, set boundaries and gain health in their relationships. I also love to help clients understand the physiological and neurobiological aspects of mental health. Being able to gain language for what they are experiencing tends to provide relief all on its own.
