Grief Therapists in Alcoa, TN

Visit my website for real-time availability and to request an appointment. Maybe you can’t do this anymore. You’re stronger than most have ever had to be, but inside you swing between anger and helpless shame, if you let yourself feel anything at all. You keep doing it over and over again—maybe drinking, drugs, sex, rage, self-harm—and you hate it...but on the other hand, hasn't it been more reliable than anything or anyone else? You ask into that inner darkness, "Why am I like this?" But all you get in reply is a desperation to leave it all behind, and then a familiar fear: maybe this is all I deserve or am ever going to get.

Living in a world where no one really gets what you are experiencing? Going through a hard time and need someone to listen? Do you need a safe, open, non-judgmental space to talk through life's challenges? I am committed to providing a safe space to the people of Tennessee. It is challenging to live in a region where you fear your views, thoughts, and philosophies don't align with the people around you. I am a queer and LGBTQ+ safe and affirming space. My old pup, Cosmo, loves to work with me (read: does not like to be left home alone). He will be in session unless otherwise requested (see his pic listed below).

Hello! I’m Elizabeth, and my goal is to help you address harmful thought patterns, process emotional wounds, and pursue a way forward that feels authentic and purposeful. I am a mental health therapist in Knoxville who works with pre-teens, adolescents, and young adults. I provide individual counseling for those struggling with: anxiety, the impact of trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief, self-esteem issues, identity work, religious/spiritual issues, sexual healing, peripartum mood disorders, and life transitions.

Now accepting new clients! Do you want to deepen your existing relationships? Are you afraid to share your feelings with your loved ones? Do recent events leave you scared of the future? Do you want to reduce your anxiety and depression, and improve the lives of your family, children or community? A satisfying relationship could be the key to your mental and physical health. If you identify as a black sheep, creative, caregiver, helpless romantic, highly sensitive person, hippie, living with chronic pain or illness, people-pleaser, or perfectionist you will benefit most from a relational approach to therapy.

I find that I work best with those who are looking for a change from the extremely clinical-feeling approach to therapy. I believe therapy shouldn't feel hierarchical, nor alienating- you and I are on the same level here. We’re collaborating to help you reach a point in your life where you feel stable and content. I’m not here to judge you or tell you what to do, but rather to work as a friendly voice to help you connect missing pieces and wade through life’s challenges with more confidence.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is pivotal to a beneficial and meaningful experience in therapy. A strong therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change and the strongest predictor of treatment success. My international education encouraged me to adopt a flexible, curious, and inclusive perspective on the factors that contribute to one's identity and difficulties (e.g., religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space to support clients' introspective journeys, exploration of identities, and understanding of the self, others, and the world.

The people I work best with appreciate my love of neuroscience and how brains work, along with my sense of humor and lightheartedness. Often, we feel like something is wrong with us but when we explore our experiences, personality, and needs, what we are experiencing begins to make more sense. Once it makes more sense to us, it’s easier to communicate these things to our loved ones. For many people, this means they can leave behind the weight of what they experienced and transform their suffering into connection.

Les Brown once said, "I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom." As we navigate life, it can often feel like we are doing this alone and can feel overwhelmed by the hard things, which can impact how we see ourselves (self-esteem, anxiety, depression, substance use, anger, etc.), our relationships (conflict or co-dependency), and the world. The truth is, though, we don't actually have to do any of it alone!
