My
Christian
faith has shaped my therapeutic approach, but I am mindful of my client’s various religious and spiritual backgrounds.
Fear has taught you a lot of things, but what if courage teaches you more? My hope is that my office will provide you with unconditional support and gentle guidance. Whether it’s anxiety that has crippled us, a loss that has left us with overwhelming depression, or a traumatic event– we all need additional support at times. I specialize in working with adult women and their specific issues, including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and spiritual trauma or abuse. As a Marriage and Family therapist, I believe change comes from relationships and personal connections.

I can approach these issues through a
Christian
perspective but am able to provide neutral therapy perspectives as well.
My ideal clients are adults (ages 25-38) struggling with anxiety, depression, and phase of life changes. My clients are navigating new chapters in their lives, including career changes, dating/marriage relationships, and changing family dynamics. They are motivated for change and open to feedback and alternative perspectives. They are seeking a telehealth-only therapist for added scheduling flexibility, confidentiality, and transportability.

Although I am a committed
Christian
, I honor whatever spiritual lens you may have; our shared humanity is our common ground.
At times, we can feel desperately lost in life. Maybe this is how you're feeling right now—disconnected from your loved ones and from yourself. You aren’t sure how to find your way back, and sometimes wonder if it’s even possible. I assure you, there is hope—for you and your relationships. The confusion and pain can be untangled and a new story written.

While I hold to a
Christian
worldview, I am here to help clients of all beliefs with respect.
Family. This word may bring up feelings of warmth, or it may bring up feelings of anxiety, suffering, or helplessness. You want to reclaim the feelings of safety, security, contentment, peace, and love that once accompanied your hopes or thoughts of what your family could be. Or maybe your goal is to start off on the right foot, with your recent or upcoming marriage, or to ensure that your child is off to an emotionally healthy start in their younger years. Whichever the case, healthy families require focus, intentional work, and can sometimes use outside assistance from a caring professional.

Each of us is on a journey, and sometimes this journey can become quite stressful. At times we need someone on the outside looking in, to help us gain perspective and to encourage us toward healthy change. I have a passion to walk alongside others in their journeys to offer hope and help in healing. My
Christian
perspective and person-centered approach allows me to value each person as a fellow Image-bearer. I strive to create a safe environment, holding strongly to a non-judgmental stance, so that clients may feel accepted for who they are.

Drew Smith

As a
Christian
Counselor, I believe we are all spiritual, emotional and physical beings and each aspect is important to consider to help facilitate healing. It is my heart's desire to connect with those who are in dark and difficult places in life or with those who are passionate about growth and being better versions of themselves. We all find ourselves experiencing difficulties and challenges in our lives at some point. I would be honored to walk alongside you and help equip you to handle the adversity you are facing right now!

I help people who have lost their way get reconnected--to spouse or family, to God, or to their own dreams and goals. I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling through issues such as addiction that create distance among those they love; with individuals pursuing spiritual healing from emotional wounds; and with people grappling with cultural identity, transition, and stress, such as missionaries and children of missionaries. I have an eclectic approach for counseling individuals that integrates interpersonal, narrative, and strengths-based elements with my
Christian
worldview, and am buildling experience using Gottman Method Therapy for working with couples.

By working together with my clients and from a
Christian
worldview, my passion is to create a safe space for people to wrestle with the pain in their lives so that they can be set free to journey towards healing and joy in their relationships with God, themselves and others.
It takes such courage to open ourselves to the possibility of healing when we have been hurt. But the fullness of life that grows out of engaging in the healing process is something I continue to experience personally in my own life and professionally with my clients. While we receive our deepest wounds in relationships, it is in relationships that we can also experience the deepest healing. Some of the bravest people I have ever met are the individuals I sit with in the counseling office, and I commend you for starting the process by looking for a counselor.

If you are looking for an individual, family, or marriage counselor, particularly a
Christian
counselor, or a consultant for your small business, non-profit, or church in the Chattanooga, Cleveland, Lookout Mountain, East Ridge, East Brainerd, Hixson, Red Bank, Ooltewah, Soddy-Daisy, Ringgold or North Georgia area, please feel free to contact us today!.
We as human beings desire to be known, to love and to be loved. Often times, our attempts to give and receive the love we long for becomes tangled in a web of our past mistakes or the mistakes of others, leaving us feeling alone, arguing with our spouse, overwhelmed with anxiety, extreme sadness and hopelessness, and facing life circumstances we feel powerless to overcome. Counseling is a great opportunity to begin the process of handling these paralyzing issues in a safe environment. Seeking out help requires courage and pursuing counseling can be a scary process, so congratulations on taking the first step towards change.

I started my own practice, Elbow Tree
Christian
Counseling, in 2006, because I wanted to paint the walls my own color, bring my dog to the office and wear flip flops! The practice grew to include a team of several really good friends and my wife, April.
Over the past 15 years, I have loved working with every angle of the family. If you looked at my schedule on any given day, you'd probably see a few married couples, some exhausted and burnt-out parents, a college student, a 4th-12th grader, someone having an affair, someone who has been crushed by a loss or a person who is wrestling through their attraction to the same gender. I often find that a person's willingness to come in and simply talk about things creates at least 50% of the change they are looking for.

Life can become overwhelming, I consider it a privilege to walk through that part of your journey with you. Difficult life transitions, family distress and conflict, abuse, divorce, anxiety, depression, as well as child and adolescent behavioral concerns, can leave you feeling helpless. I am honored to help you find your strength to cope in times of pain and suffering.

My faith as a
Christian
provides the energy for my work, but I have tremendous respect for each person's story and strive to honor the client's differing views and choice on whether or not to incorporate issues of faith or spirituality into therapy.
It takes tremendous courage to choose to walk through difficult places on the path towards healing, and it takes even more courage to invite a counselor to walk with you. I consider it an honor to join with my clients as they face the challenges in life, whether it be wounds from trauma, struggles with managing mood and thoughts, issues with relational functioning, sexuality or unhealthy coping.
I believe there is power in relationship and I consider it a joy to help clients learn how to better relate to themselves, others and the world around them.

What type of Chattanooga mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Chattanooga?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
How to use my insurance?
Understanding cost and insurance coverage is an important concern for many people. With some basic research and conversations with prospective therapists, you should be able to have a good understanding of the best way to afford therapy.
