Emotionally Focused Therapists in Knoxville, TN

Over the course of our lives, it can be easy to fall into patterns that keep us feeling stuck, whether in our relationships or on our own. In my therapy room, I strive to provide a safe and compassionate environment for you to explore the ways in which you've learned to interact with the world and gain greater understanding of yourself and your emotions. I hope to empower each of my clients through genuine care and acceptance as we journey into the difficult parts of life together.

Are you struggling with depression? Anxiety? Relationship problems? Are you confused in your faith? We live in a world full of brokenness and are affected in a variety of different way. Whatever you are facing you do not have to go at it alone! I am currently in supervision working towards getting my state license as an LPC.

Hello! I am a graduate intern currently pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johnson University. I graduated from the University of Tennessee in 2021 with a bachelor’s in Psychology. My desire to help and care for others has made me passionate about the therapeutic relationship and counseling profession. I see clients ages 10 and older and focus on phase of life issues, peer relationships, emotional regulation, stress management, and much more.

Anxious, depressed, lonely, scared, angry, or hurting. We all experience these feelings, but sometimes it is necessary to seek out some assistance. We here at Crossroads believe “no one should have to journey alone”. We specialize in adolescents/teens, college aged, young professionals, marital issues (premarital also), and potential separation/divorce situations. We are out-of-network with all insurance plans, but we can assist you in filing your out-of-network benefits.

Accepting New Clients! To have someone open their heart in therapy and trust me with it, is truly an honor. Therapy can be hard. Often times people share things with me they haven’t shared with anyone else. Because of this, I believe the relationship between client and therapist is the most important factor in therapy and what I focus on building first with you. Moreover, I take an integrative approach to therapy, conceptualizing from psychodynamic and interpersonal theories while utilizing interventions from EFT , DBT, CBT and interpersonal theories. All of my work is grounded in multicultural and strength-based views.

Hi there! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) in the heart of Knoxville who works with college students, young professionals, dating couples, marriages, and families. I provide counseling for both men and women, who need help with: anxiety, depression, stress, new romantic relationships, relational problems, communication, conflict resolution, physical intimacy issues, sexual health concerns, parenting concerns, family dynamics, addictions, career-path decisions, premarital counseling, and life transitions.

Does it feel like you and your spouse are having the same fight over and over again? These recurring disagreements often provide little resolution, leaving us feeling misunderstood and disconnected. This relationship dynamic is not only frustrating, it starts to impact our own individual happiness and health. I assist couples by helping them step back and view their own relationship dynamic in a way that brings about their true voice and intentions in the moments of anger, blame, disconnection and withdrawal. In this way, each partner can begin to hear and experience one another in a way that builds intimacy, connection and hope.

Down To Earth Services is actively accepting new clients for medication management and counseling services! Sometimes, no matter how independent we are, we need help. We have a passion for supporting people who are seeking help managing high stress, life changes, anxiety, depression and trauma symptoms through outpatient therapy sessions and medication management. We have a "down to earth" group of people who you will find to be genuine and transparent. We currently offer individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, medication management and group therapy sessions.

Jenni loves working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. She sees clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relational-stress, and other mental health issues. Jenni has extensive experience working with clients affected by emotional trauma. She is trained in EMDR-Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing and Brainspotting, which she uses to help clients process through trauma. She has a certificate in Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. She also has advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT ) for couples.

I lead a group of specialists that help couples pull out of negative patterns of conflict and distress so they can become closer and more connected to one another. We understand that our need for secure connection is wired in us and when we can't feel connected in our most important relationships, it causes great distress. If it seems you are arguing over petty things, or feel distant and withdrawn, if your sexual connection isn't what it used to be or you are feeling like roommates, we can help create the safety needed to explore the underlying issues at the core so you can experience a loving, secure bond with one another.

I believe everyone has the ability to live a meaningful and deeply satisfying life. I combine 30 years experience as a clinical psychologist with Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT), Positive Psychology, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help others achieve optimal well-being.

I am passionate about seeing lives and relationships restored. I recognize the courage it takes to come to therapy and believe that transformation happens in the context of relationships when people feel heard and understood. My hope is to invite clients into a safe space where we have the opportunity to honestly confront painful and uncomfortable issues.

Life is often difficult, and especially so during transitions. It is helpful to have a safe, secure place to sort through those transitions as you make changes, whether planned or unexpected, with school, work, or family situations. Change can bring with it growth, accompanied by anxiety, fear, and sadness, and it affects everyone in your circle. While anxiety, fear and sadness are normal responses to life events, they can become overwhelming. If you are struggling with life and the changes it sometimes brings, do not hesitate to reach out for support to help you grow through it.

Telehealth services only: I work with clients that are motivated for change. I work with adults, teens, and kids. Relationships can be very stressful and overwhelming as today we do not have a village to help us and many people lack supports. My goal is to help you either as an individual or as a family move into a place of healing. Together we can explore unresolved trauma, communication patterns, conflict, emotions, all of it within the safety of a therapeutic relationship.

Although my background is in trauma, I have clinical experience and training in assisting all people in dealing with the variety of life struggles. We all face different challenges in life and respond to them in our own ways. As such, each approach in treatment should be unique and person centered. My goal is to help each person along their journey in processing and overcoming their unique challenges so that they can thrive on their own.

The process of initiating therapy can be scary. Trusting someone you don't know isn't always easy. The truth is that life is difficult. We have all experienced sadness, loss, fear, and loneliness. Therapy can help find clarity and strength. My experience is as diverse as those I serve such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, & LGBT issues, marital counseling, and PTSD. I enjoy my work and feel blessed to be a tool for God to help those who are hurting or in need of understanding. My greatest reward comes from empowering people with the confidence and tools to make a positive change.
