Therapists for Teens and Adolescents in Marion County, TN
Healing is often uncomfortable. No one likes feeling exposed or overwhelmed, but together, we can pull those heavy emotions out from under that 'everything is fine' umbrella and look at them for what they really are.
I’m Sierra, and I believe therapy isn't just about managing symptoms; it’s about a collaborative partnership to help you grow, heal, and finally feel like yourself again. My approach is non-judgmental, direct, and deeply compassionate.
Whether you’re navigating the weight of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the complexities of grief and trauma, I meet you exactly where you are.

If you’re the person everyone leans on - the peacekeeper, the one holding it all while no one notices how much you’re carrying. I see you. Maybe you’re constantly anticipating everyone else’s needs and forgetting what it feels like to just be you. If that resonates with you, you are in the right spot!
I work with those who are people pleasers and those recovering from emotionally manipulative or unhealthy relationship dynamics. Together, we’ll untangle old patterns, rebuild your self trust, and carve out space for you to be messy, whole, and unapologetically you! Every part of you matters here.

My ideal client is someone seeking meaningful change, even if they’re unsure where to start. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, religious trauma, identity questions, or neurodivergent challenges. Often, they carry a deep desire to feel understood, find clarity, and reconnect with themselves or others. Some are individuals in high-stress roles—first responders, healthcare workers, or therapists—longing for space to process and heal. Others are couples or families hoping to communicate better and rebuild trust. My clients want more than symptom relief—they seek authenticity, emotional depth, and connection.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, women's issues, and attachment or relational challenges.
Showing up as your full self can feel uncomfortable, exhausting, or even impossible sometimes. Maybe you’ve spent years being the “strong one,” overthinking every interaction, carrying anxiety in your body, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the people around you. Maybe part of you knows something needs to shift, but you’re not quite sure where to begin. I see therapy as a space where you don’t have to perform, shrink yourself, or have everything figured out before you walk in. My role isn’t to tell you who to be, but to help you better understand yourself; reconnect with the parts of you that may have gotten lost.

Current session availability is with team therapists who support those seeking recovery from addiction and teens, adults, and couples navigating premarital/marital concerns, perinatal mental health, identity exploration (including LGBTQ), life transitions, and ADHD.
On most days, do you feel like you're just going through the motions? Maybe you’ve reached a point where you feel emotionally numb, disconnected from yourself and those closest to you. You want more, but if you’re honest, you aren’t fully sure what more is… you just know that THIS isn’t it. You desire deeper connection, but at the same time you’re afraid of it. You might be wondering: what will happen if I allow them to see the real me? Will they judge me? Reject me? Accept me? Though these are some of your deepest fears, you’d never dare say them out loud. If this sounds like you, I see you, and I’m glad you’re here.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
