Therapists in Knoxville, TN

Welcome! For the past seven years, my passion has been to help facilitate personal growth in young children, adolescents, and teens. My primary focus is to be someone you can turn to in a time of need. The stress of growing up in today's ever-changing society can be overwhelming. I would like to join you on your journey to develop the skills necessary to overcome those stressors by teaching you the skills needed. I like to practice from an unconditional, supportive therapist role, in a relaxing environment. I am dedicated to using all my resources to help achieve peace & happiness in your lives!

With over 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families of all ages, I offer a nonjudgmental space for growth and healing. My specialties include eating disorders, body image, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions (college, divorce, LGBTQ+), and parent/child relationships. I use different therapy approaches such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, compassion, as well as a non-traditional therapy called Acceptance and Integration Training (AAIT is trademarked and founded by Melanie McGhee, LCSW.).

I am a licensed professional counselor that specializes in working with children with emotional and behavioral issues including those who come from hard places and have experienced various types of trauma. I operate from an attachment perspective to help children, parents and families strengthen their relationships to get their deepest needs met. Being an adoptive father I have a particular heart for adoption and foster care.

Have the terrible 2's never stopped or gotten worse after your child turned 2.5 yrs? Do you have a young child with more frequent, long, or intense temper tantrums and behavior problems than is expected for the child’s age? Does your child seem to get a thrill out of purposely annoying others, get in trouble regularly at preschool, or react with defiance and aggression to adult requests and limits? Or, is your child so anxious that you are dreading daycare or school drop offs because your child has to be pried off of you? Is your child struggling to adjust to a transition like parents’ divorce, a new sibling, grief, or trauma?

Psychological assessment/autism testing/evaluations are self-pay only, beginning at $1,300, though not all due at once. Dr. Lee provides psychological assessment for children (e.g., autism, ADHD, learning concerns). My goal is to bring understanding of your child's behavior while emphasizing their strengths through psychological testing. Evaluations will include your child's strengths, vulnerabilities, diagnosis(es), and recommendations for next steps.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical psychologist, practicing in Knoxville, TN with Knoxville Behavioral & Mental Health Services (schedule more quickly through our clinic website). I am passionate about clinical work and appreciate the opportunity to join with children, families, and adults in therapy to help them overcome current challenges and plan for future success. My areas of interest include working with teens and adults presenting with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also enjoy working with parents of young children (2 to 7 years old) to improve challenging behavioral difficulties.

I have experience working with clients and families of any makeup and any age. I primarily work with adolescents and adults as well as parents. Mood disorders, depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, and trauma are a few of the presenting problems that I have experience helping people with.

As a counselor, my goal is to help each individual reach their own goals and recognize that they are already amazing people. Depression, anxiety, phobias, grief, trauma, and addiction are all areas that I am trained in, but these issues do not define who my patients are. Rather, they are obstacles in life that can be managed and even overcome with their strength and resilience that is already present. I simply act as a guide through their journey, providing insight, coping skills, and a unique perspective.

I enjoy working with people young and old. I enjoy the one on one as well as family sessions. I love helping people reach their potential, their goals, etc. Be it young or old, youth or elderly. It's also a pleasure to me to get to meet new people and learn who they are.

I have had a passion for working with children since I first decided to go into the field of psychology. This was due to the natural relationship that I have always had with children and the desire to see them and their families have better lives. If you have a child who is struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem I can offer practical solutions to help. If you are confused by what is going on with your child and need answers, then I can help. I am a naturally curious person who will never stop working to discover your child's needs and to offer effective and efficient treatment advice.

Is your child needing guidance in expressing feelings and emotions appropriately? Does your child prefer an alternative approach utilizing Art and Play therapy? Do you or someone you know need help in making challenging decisions while being in alignment with your faith? Would you like to talk to someone who is calming and non-judgemental? Have you or someone you know been dealing with being overwhelmed with life in general?

I am not currently accepting new clients. I have over 10 years of experience helping clients of all ages who are struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, addiction, existential crisis, relational issues, and a myriad of others. I also work with couples and families who are having difficulty connecting in a harmonious and meaningful way. I seek to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where we can partner to work through and problem solve the unique challenges that you are facing in your life.

I have a passion to help all, but especially those struggling with behavioral issues and trauma. I understands the importance of getting ahead of behavioral issues in children and adolescents before they face legal consequences. I understand the importance of counseling following trauma. I could go on and on about the research backing the need for counseling in trauma. Behavioral issues are often rooted with some sort of trauma. I love helping others find their confidence, safety and mental health baseline.
