Parenting Therapists in Knoxville, TN

Has exhaustion and overload become normal? Do you spend your days chasing after the expectations and approval of others? Do you find yourself avoiding the hard conversations—or the hard decisions that you know would improve your life ten-fold? Maybe it’s time to rediscover your compass. Maybe it’s time to live the life you’ve been wanting. I work with leaders in families and organizations who want to develop greater emotional maturity (clarity + courage + skill) in challenging situations, and to realize more meaningful connection in the relationships that matter most.

Greetings, I'm Dr. Mack. After a fulfilling stint in manufacturing, I transitioned to a career where I could harness my innate gift for aiding others. While my practice encompasses a broad spectrum of psychological concerns, my primary focus lies in addressing sexual trauma, sexual-related issues, pain management, and interpersonal challenges.

I am now accepting new clients! Life constantly changes and this can feel overwhelming for many and create feelings of stress, anger, and anxiety.

I want to help calm your fears and thrive in the life you choose and deserve.

I believe you are exactly where you need to be.... Right now. Rumi said it best: "The wound is the place where the light enters you." The suffering, the vulnerability, the anger and the fear are perfect opportunities to shine a light of awareness and begin healing. I offer a safe space for each awareness to unfold without judgement. My approach tends to be ecclectic and holistic, incorporating spiritual practices to raise your consciousness in order to create alignment with your heart, body, and soul so that healing may begin.

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.

Family structure, life circumstances, trauma and grief can challenge the way we think and feel. Our emotions are often triggered by these life circumstances causing negative behavioral responses such as anxiety, angry outbursts, obsessive-compulsive disorders, drug addiction, alcoholism, sexual addiction, gambling, depression, and relationship conflict. The consequences of these behaviors cause heartache and pain in our lives and often have adverse effects on the people around us. Therapy can show you how negative behaviors limit your life and prevent you from living your life to the fullest potential.

I like to think of the world of therapy, counseling, etc. through the eyes of a child. My grandchildren specifically. When trying to answer the question; “what is it that you do at work Granddad?” After explaining the process a bit one of them chimed in and simply said: “Oh! You help people that need help!” That is the essence of what I hope to do.

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).

You look around and ask yourself “Is this really my life right now?” Some days are okay, some are uncomfortable, and others are intolerable. In the tough moments, the things you've tried before don't seem to work. Treading water was fine for a while, but you’re ready to swim. Maybe someone you cared about died. Maybe that inner critic voice is louder or more persistent than it has been before. Maybe your child’s thoughts and feelings are too big for them to handle.

Our lives are made up of relationships or connections with ourselves and others. By examining our past we can provide new roads to the future to improve our lives by caring for ourselves which will improve our relationship with others.

No life is without struggle and no struggle should be endured alone. It is my passion to help others navigate stormy waters, bear hurts and sorrows, or make plans for how to move forward.

I especially enjoy working with moms navigating the perinatal/postpartum life.

I enjoy working with individuals to build better lives and relationships. I support individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, men's issues, anger issues, and stress management.

There are so many difficulties in life that are out of our control, and I help individuals develop the resilience to endure the hardships of life.
