Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Chattanooga, TN

"There is nothing wrong with you. There is something wrong with what happened to you." The ways we are treated by others can convince us that there is something inherently wrong with who we are. Trauma and negative life experiences teach us what to believe about ourselves and the world around us, but sometimes they inform us inaccurately. Whether you've experienced abuse, difficult relationships, loss, or grief, I would love the opportunity to join you as you rediscover who you are and walk into healing and wholeness.

Hey there, I'm Mack. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, no matter your background or circumstances. In a world in which we are all just learning and adapting as we go, everyone deserves the opportunity to access their innate potential and every human needs support in that endeavor. I'm passionate about teaching and empowering people to navigate life's challenges, losses, barriers, joys, and victories. We don't have to do this alone. All it takes is teamwork.

You are worthy and you are enough. Those seven words can feel like an unreachable mindset, I know. Trauma , abuse, neglect, grief, and the weight of caring for others more than yourself can make that phrase feel hollow. Anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares, and isolation are truly exhausting. If you are reading this, I want you to know you are not alone and you’ve already taken the only step you have to on your own: you’ve done the hard work of reaching out.
