Marriage Counseling Therapists in Knoxville, TN

It can be a difficult task to find the right therapist and the options online can feel incredibly overwhelming. I understand that it's not easy to allow yourself to be vulnerable with a stranger about some of life's most difficult challenges. By looking for a therapist, you've already made the hardest step, the first one. Often things in our lives can leave us feeling alone, unheard, or confused. It takes a lot of courage to admit that we need help sometimes and even more courage to ask for it.

I am a licensed clinical social worker hoping to help provide a path for young and adult women to gain wholeness and Independence. Whether it be mental illness or drug addiction it is important to face reality, be motivated, and take ownership of your life..

Are you feeling burnt out or having issues struggling with all of life’s obstacles? I get that. Let’s work through it together. I hope to help assist and support you in gaining the skills needed to successfully overcome the obstacles that you are facing as we are on this healing journey together. I currently only offer virtual sessions. I understand that virtual sessions are not everyone's cup of tea, therefore starting Spring 2024 I will be offering walk and talk therapy at three different parks in Knoxville.

Do you find yourself in internal arguments with your inner critic or feel so pressured by should’s that being stressed has become the norm? Do you miss your former, more alive self or notice that feelings you had hoped were resolved continue to generate painful memories? Are you struggling with unwanted behaviors - irritable outbursts, addictions, or indecisiveness? Or missing intimacy and positive communication with your spouse or partner? Though there is no "typical client", resolving these concerns or decreasing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or PTSD, are frequent reasons reported by my clients when they come to therapy.

I can help with symptom reduction from anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and mood swings, etc. As well as help improve your coping skills, increase awareness, improve self esteem and self confidence, interpersonal relationships, better work life balance, recovery from substance abuse and overall wellbeing and quality of life, etc.

Often times life can be confusing, uncertain, and uneasy, which may cause daily tasks to feel unmanageable. We can experience stress, anxiety, withdrawal from friends or family, etc. As a therapist, I want to walk alongside of you and help you process, heal, and grow into the person you want to be.

Coming to counseling can be a scary hurdle to cross. Here you are! I'm so proud of you already. Together, we can work on healing from trauma, processing grief and loss, building your relationship with your partner, or learning how to respond to others better. Compassion, patience, and kindness will always be present when you walk into my office. You will put in the work both at office and at home to continue to strive to be the best version of yourself that you can be.

Life isn’t always easy - in fact, sometimes it is downright painful, evil, and overwhelming. It is good to have people to lean into during these difficult times. And sometimes, it is good to reach out to a professional to help along the way. I seek to be that type of helper. Whether you struggle with anxiety or depression, identity distress or relationship problems, "Big T" trauma or "little t" trauma... whatever your situation - I hope you have hope for a better tomorrow. And if I can walk with you for a time along the way, please let me know.

Life is often confusing and sometimes very difficult. I believe my clients can improve their lives, even in difficult situations. I take a holistic approach that considers the wellness and level of functioning of each client across their many roles and responsibilities. It is my hope that each of my clients gains greater feelings of hope and autonomy as a result of our work together.

Most of my clients have a lot of knowledge about both themselves and mental health issues yet they still find themselves stuck in the same patterns. I love working with my clients to help them create a deeper understanding of their core issues, process emotional and cognitive barriers, and then make the changes they want in their lives.

I use a holistic and client-centered approach and believe the therapeutic relationship is key to making progress. It's this fit between client and therapist that allows you to 'tell it like it is' and for me to provide the space for you to be real. Most importantly, I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to making progress and building resilience in therapy. I also specialize in utilizing Mindfulness and other modalities. I am committed to meeting you where you are on your journey. Together, we can explore at your pace and work towards creating positive change in your life.

I hope to work with you to make the next steps on the road to improving yourself. We can work together on recognizing unhelpful thoughts, feelings, or behaviors and discover new ways to overcome them. Ultimately, the therapeutic relationship is based on trust, honesty, and a mutual interest in the betterment of your life.

Everyone wants to be themselves, to be “seen,” and to be valued for their uniqueness. We’re wired to need safe and affirming relationships and connection with others. When we’re struggling, it’s usually because something has gotten in the way of these things - not because we’re somehow "defective" or "flawed." I value authenticity, and strive to help clients feel and honor emotions that may seem “wrong" or unacceptable.

I love to work with people who may be struggling with anxiety or depression, or who may be going through a hard trial or something traumatic. It may be divorce, betrayal, the death of a loved one, an illness, or any number of things. Maybe you are struggling to find hope and encouragement. Maybe you are going through a financial hardship, a health journey, or any number of difficulties and need someone who can listen, encourage, and provide some hope. I would love to do that for you.

Celeste specializes in working with clients who are seeking to unseat, and unlock long held patterns in their lives. Individuals who wish to get to the root of their problems, and face issues that may be preventing meaningful change and peace in their lives. Oftentimes these clients are those who have had traditional therapy methods or have been doing their own self-help work and are at a “stuck” point and are looking for answers that can be accessed through somatic or meditation based work. She also works with therapists looking to deepen their own personal process to increase their efficacy and joy in their work as a therapist.

One of the most beautiful things about being human is our ability to change. Yet, from observation and personal experience, I know how easy it is to feel stuck in destructive thoughts and behaviors. The good news is that you do not have to remain in a pit. Whether you struggle with addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, relational issues, trauma, etc., every individual is worthy of healing and peace. My favorite part about working with clients is walking alongside them as you continue to find the courage to live out this belief so that you can live a more hopeful, healthy, and whole life.
