TennCare Therapists in Knoxville, TN

Shana V Hamilton-Lockwood
Psychologist, PhD
Knoxville, TN 37921
I strive to provide a safe space for all clients to explore the issues bringing them to therapy and what underlies those issues. As a multicultural/relational therapist identities that are important to you provide a background for therapy (race, religion, culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, political affiliations, gender identity, gender, sex, ableness, etc.) as those identities make up who you are. Relationships and how you relate with others are also important. I treat anxiety, depression, grief/loss, phases of life issues, family issues, women's issues and men's issues. I am also a sex and gender specialist.

Rhett M. Reynolds
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Knoxville, TN 37928
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.

Anxiety that won't ease. Depression that's taken over. Trauma that keeps resurfacing. If life feels unmanageable right now, you're not alone — and it's not permanent. Our therapists treat anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, BPD, bipolar and mood disorders, and relationship struggles, using approaches with real evidence behind them: CBT, DBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed care. As a group practice, we match you with a therapist suited to your specific needs — not just whoever's available first. Most major insurance accepted. You don't need to have it figured out before you call. You just need to be ready to start.

I aim to partner with clients during difficult seasons, offering a safe, supportive space to navigate life’s challenges. Daily stressors can shape our perspective, leaving us feeling overwhelmed or inadequate. Together, we work to shift that perspective, recognizing your strengths, resources, and connections. By identifying both opportunities and barriers, we can move forward with clarity—because believing change is possible is a powerful first step.

It takes courage to begin again, and that doesn’t go unnoticed. In our work together, we’ll create a space where your healing can unfold softly, creatively, and in your own way. Honoring each step of the way, this process is interactive and thoughtful, grounded in somatic and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches. I show up with warmth, genuineness, and an attuned presence—paying close attention to what’s said and unsaid—so that the space feels steady, supportive, and safe enough for you to be fully yourself.
