Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Knoxville, TN
I love to combine mindfulness, somatic experiences and EMDR (Eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) to help clients process their trauma and reclaim their life.
Life is not easy. But it is especially hard for those who have experienced any level of trauma. Whether it is childhood trauma, sexual, physical or emotional trauma or little "t" trauma, all of it affects how we function on a daily basis. Trauma limits our choices and makes it seem impossible to make healthier choices and find the path we want to live on. If trauma is not something you identify with, but you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a lack of joy in your life and you have struggled to figure out where that comes from, I would love to help you identify the core problem.

I know that change can be hard, and that making the decision to call a therapist is difficult. I believe that we are all capable and deserving of living our best life, and that feeling safe and supported makes it easier to make those changes. Life can be messy, and I am here to help. I have a passion for helping others, and am grateful I get to be a part of that change process. I utilize an individual approach to meet the needs of each client, and want each client to feel heard, valued, and understood.

I UNDERSTAND! I understand trauma, addiction and I understand pain. I have been in recovery from substance abuse and everything that comes with it since January of 1991.I know what it means to journey from a place of brokenness to a place of wholeness. Addiction and other maladaptive behaviors are just SYMPTOMS of a deeper rooted problem. If you feel like you KNOW what to do but just cannot seem to make yourself do it chances are you have unprocessed trauma/pain. If you are in need of support for yourself, or a loved one I would love to help you navigate the road of this journey.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic work and Emotionally Focused Therapy, with somatic practices, mindfulness, and DBT skills woven in as needed.
My clients are often the most insightful people in their own lives — and the most exhausted by what that insight hasn't been able to fix. I'm Kyle, LCSW, working with teens, adults, and couples who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected — quietly exhausted by the gap between how they appear and actually feel. They come in carrying anxiety, self-criticism, grief, or relational patterns they can name but can't seem to change. Together, we slow things down, get curious about what your emotions are trying to tell you, and work toward the kind of inner steadiness that makes the rest of life feel less effortful.

There are so many therapists out there. How do you know which one is right for you? I don't think there is any issue or problem that I'm not willing to try and work with. Of course this doesn't mean I'm an expert on every subject or your issue. One of the most important parts of therapy is the trust between the client and the therapist. This is done by establishing a rapport with the client and creating a safe environment so that she or he feels completely safe and comfortable to talk about his or her issues. Feel free to contact me and talk with me to see if we might be a good fit. There is no charge for this.

I draw largely from Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness based approaches, and I stay current with relevant advances in neuropsychology which impact psychotherapy.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the field I strive to provide informed and evidence based treatment to clients of diverse backgrounds in a safe, supportive, and accepting environment.

I recognize that seeking support can be difficult and I truly value the positive feedback my clients have provided regarding their feelings of comfort and safety in their work with me.
