I specialize in helping my clients who are struggling to manage emotions and behaviors that are interfering with their daily functioning in areas such as relationships, work, parenting, school, etc. These struggles may be the result of a single event that threatened survival, like a car accident, or from a chronic history of trauma and loss. Or maybe one struggles to manage their emotions and behaviors, but doesn't know why. Maybe their life seems pretty good or even great. But they're puzzled as to why they feel the way they do.

My name is Kari Dragovan-Story MS, LPC-MHSP. I am independently licensed in the state of TN with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and specializations in Trauma/Crisis, EMDR, and addictions.

I am an active therapist in helping to identify and manage presenting problems through the use of EMDR, CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches (we'll work together to find the right modality for you!).
