Therapists for Adults in Jonesborough, TN
Hi, I'm Cori! I love helping bright, capable, and sensitive people find their way to a more authentic lived experience and break out of unhealthy patterns and relationships that result from low self-worth and trauma. I completed EMDR training in 2019 and this has given me a trauma-informed orientation. Recovering from religious, community, developmental, institutional, educational, or other trauma? I can help with that! I call my business Deep Well Journey because I believe that wellness involves a purposeful journey into the deepest parts of the self in order to tend wounds, reconnect with values, and discover unique potential.

I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma.
My therapy journey began with a passion to serve underserved people, particularly those struggling with mental illness and lacking resources. This grew into a passion to impact systems serving individuals with mental health issues, trauma, and substance use. I am now refocusing my time on individuals rather than systems. I take a client-centered and collaborative approach to therapy. It can be scary to allow someone into your struggle, and many of us have good reason not to trust others. Starting therapy takes courage, and I congratulate you on taking this step.

My practice is focused on working with Christians who struggle in their closest relationships and feel overwhelmed by their emotions. Applying biblical wisdom to our everyday lives can be truly transformative, but we often need more focused attention to bridge the gap between our faith and how we think, feel, and act day to day. I work with people who know something is wrong with their marriage or in how they feel throughout the day, but can't seem to pinpoint what it is and what they need to do about it. This is when therapy becomes so instrumental to the believer.

Are you where you imagined you’d be in life?

My ideal client is someone seeking meaningful change, even if they’re unsure where to start. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, religious trauma, or identity questions. Often, they carry a deep desire to feel understood, find clarity, and reconnect with themselves or others. Some are individuals in high-stress roles—first responders, healthcare workers, or therapists—longing for space to process and heal. Others are couples or families hoping to communicate better and rebuild trust. My clients want more than symptom relief—they seek authenticity, emotional depth, and connection.

I see adults of all ages.
Is the past influencing your present life? I have discovered that so many of us have a hard time living in the present because of things from our past... or we struggle because we don't believe we are "good enough." I have been practicing for 15 + years. I am trained in EMDR and believe everyone can grow, heal, and live fulfilling lives. My greatest joy is seeing my clients redefine who they are according to their values...Being able to be authentic. No longer confined to the pressures, ideals and expectations of others or shackled to the past.

FAQ - About Adult Counseling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioral therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists hold various licenses depending on their training and state requirements. Common therapy credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs), Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs). Psychologists (PhD or PsyD) receive additional doctoral-level training and may focus on assessments or more specialized therapeutic approaches. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
