Hispanic and Latino Therapists in Knoxville, TN
Did you recently get your child assessed for ADHD/Autism, and start to think "wait, all these things describe me, too?" Maybe you feel like those labels don't quite fit, but you've always felt "different?" I'm looking for adults (or older teens) who are just figuring out that they are neurodivergent, and would like some help navigating that (and all the change that comes with it). Together we can learn to understand your brain and how it works, to forgive yourself for not meeting every expectation of a neurotypical world, and to love (or at least accept) your unique self.

Relationships have a way of teaching us a lot about ourselves. Whether it’s with a partner, family member, friend, or even in the relationship we have with ourselves, getting close to others can bring up all kinds of feelings. Being open and vulnerable isn’t always easy, and sometimes it can feel risky.
When we’ve been hurt, disappointed, or misunderstood, it’s natural to put up walls or fall into familiar patterns to protect ourselves. While those patterns often come from a good place, they can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected, stuck, or alone.

Hello. I’m Jamie and I’ve been a practicing therapist for many years. You may be recovering from addiction, childhood trauma, toxic relationships, or perhaps, all of these things! I know most people don't go through life untouched by trauma, anxiety, unhealthy habits or some kind of issue that deeply affects them. I also know life's problems do not come with troubleshooting instructions but I belive I know how to help people begin to effectively address them.

Expression, in all of its forms, is empowerment. Being able to trust someone and feel safe with them is instrumental in amplifying expression. This is why it is important to find a therapist that is a good fit for you. Clients may carry experiences that they do not have the words for — and that’s okay. As an art therapist, I use the creative process to support clients in connecting with themselves and build self-confidence and compassion. I specialize in working with survivors of trauma and individuals who are facing challenges related to self-worth, depression, anxiety, family conflict, and interpersonal difficulties.

Working with people who push themselves to care for others is something I'm passionate about. Those of us in nursing, LEO, Fire, EMS, Veterinary medicine... we all know what it feels like to give everything and wonder if we did the right thing.
We hold people's worst days in our hands and then go home and act like we're fine. We start to notice the weight of our job. The sleep that will not come, the short fuse, the distance from people we love. It's been me too.
This is moral injury, and it happens to good people who do hard jobs for too long without a place to put it down. You are not broken. You are carrying too much alone.

Wounding experiences can deeply shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, or the world around us. These wounds can leave us feeling disconnected - cut off from feeling whole and cared for. If this resonates with you, I might be a good fit for you. As a wounded healer myself, I approach this work with deep respect for your unique story, values, and cultural identity. I work with individuals, couples, and persons in ethically non-monogamous relationships. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, relational, and culturally responsive care. I create a brave space for clients living in the margins.

I am passionate about supporting clients through generational trauma, change, and growth. Being the first in your family to do things differently is not an easy journey, but it's a remarkably brave one. Change can be difficult, and even positive change can be stressful. I specialize in working with complex trauma survivors, clients navigating relocation and other major life changes, first-generation college students, and clients who find themselves feeling stuck between knowing the changes they want to make and implementing them.

If you've spent years people pleasing and keeping the peace, you're not alone. I help women in TN & NV heal trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship pain so they can trust their own voice again. Maybe you've learned that speaking up could cost you connection, that taking up space isn't safe, or that love has to be earned through self-sacrifice.

Welcome! I am a mental health counselor who believes healing begins when people reconnect with their own inner strength, wisdom, and capacity for change. My approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and empowerment — creating a space where clients feel deeply supported while also encouraged to grow beyond patterns that keep them feeling stuck, disconnected, or powerless. I utilize Acceptance and Integration Training (AAIT) alongside evidence-based and mindfulness-informed approaches to help clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and nervous system regulation.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Counseling
What can a Hispanic and Latino therapist help with?
A Hispanic or Latino therapist can support clients with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. What may set a therapist who personally identifies as Hispanic or Latino apart, however, is their ability to integrate cultural context into your care. If you identify with a specific cultural background, such as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, or Colombian, working with a therapist who shares your identity can make a meaningful difference in therapy since you may feel that you have to explain yourself less, or that certain cultural values around family, respect, religion, and emotional expression are more understood by them.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in Spanish or in the language they grew up speaking. For many Hispanic and Latino clients, language is also closely tied to identity and family relationships. Being able to move between English and Spanish in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. Read more about the advantages of choosing a bilingual counselor here.
How can a Hispanic and Latino therapist support family therapy?
Family is central in many Hispanic and Latino cultures, and a therapist with cultural familiarity may be better equipped to navigate family dynamics without oversimplifying them. Culturally responsive therapists may be able to more accurately interpret family roles and dynamics, thus allowing them to distinguish between cultural norms and clinically concerning dynamics. In addition, Hispanic and Latino therapists who speak Spanish may be a particularly good fit for bilingual or multilingual families, as a therapist that can facilitate clearly across languages will help ensure that all family members feel heard and understood.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
The best way to inquire about a therapist’s specific experience with Hispanic and Latino clients is to ask them targeted questions during an initial phone call or consultation. Consider asking questions such as: What experience do you have working with Hispanic or Latino clients? How do you incorporate cultural background into your approach to therapy? Do you offer therapy in Spanish or another language? You may also ask about specific examples of when they’ve navigated working with Hispanic and Latino clients.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The Psychology Today directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity on their profile. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
