Parenting Therapists in Knoxville, TN

We can break free of the patterns that bind us and learn new ways to manage challenging emotions. I care about my client's growth and success in obtaining their goals. I want to help in that journey and allow a safe space that fosters that growth. I am licensed professional counselor with over 8 years of experience working with a wide range of mental health disorders. Through my experience I have had particular success in helping women and adolescents navigate various life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, school/work related stress, family difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD management.

I'm extremely passionate about helping others live to their truest potential. Life has a way of putting many of us in a chronic fight or flight mode, and I strive to bring people back to their space of equilibrium. That place you go when you close your eyes and think about a life without as much chaos doesn't have to be a mere daydream, we can work together to make it reality.

Lost in our minds, we struggle with how to manage tough emotions and how to find small joys. Together, we will work to recapture your control, passion for life, and take steps towards growth -- helping you to be fully present for self and others. Through in person or telehealth sessions, I’m here to offer reflection and support.

The most important parts of mental wellness are the ability to increase one’s self-awareness and broaden one’s perspective. As your counselor, I will provide a safe and judgment free environment for you to gain a better understanding of whatever issues you are dealing with as an individual, couple, or in any other types of romantic relationships. The main goal of most clients is "to feel better," and I am here to help you make that goal more specific so that you can grow in the areas most important to you. I also strive to destigmatize counseling for men, Black / African-Americans, and other minority groups.

Regardless of where you find yourself, you deserve to feel supported and heard. Life can bring many seasons. Some seasons can be challenging, making us question our worth and purpose. Other seasons feel permanent, leaving us feeling stuck and hopeless. Or maybe we experience a change, forcing us to shift and transition. My desire is to meet you exactly where you are, no matter the season you find yourself in. I hope to walk with you towards a place of growth as you realize your strengths and self-worth.

Welcome! I’m a licensed psychotherapist with 14 plus years of experience that enjoys working with adults from diverse backgrounds, specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress spectrum disorders. My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that I am not the only expert in the room–and that my clients bring rich and complex life experiences and strengths invaluable to the therapeutic gain and process.

Latoya is licensed to see clients in Tennessee & Georgia. I am passionate about helping individuals foster a deeper connection on their path to healing. My goal as a clinician is to encourage and empower my clients to be the best version of themselves. Recognizing there is always room to grow beyond unfortunate circumstances is vital to increasing one's quality of life. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and families with a variety of challenges such as grief, loss & bereavement, adjustment to illness, life & career transitions, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma histories, and ADHD.

In times like these it can feel like you’re losing a lot: losing hope, losing sleep, losing control. But pain can be productive. Struggles can be opportunities to see what we're made of. They can also be the impetus to make changes we've been putting off, maybe out of fear that they would upset the balance we work so hard to maintain. Right now during this pandemic, it's hard to find one thing in our lives that hasn't changed and there are so many unknowns. It can be very difficult to persevere when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and when your usual outlets for support and coping are now limited.

Please note: You will get a faster response by emailing rather than calling. I work individually with adults to provide empathy, guidance, and support as they navigate through difficult times in life. I have worked with clients suffering from a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, relationship conflict, parenting problems, unresolved trauma, grief/loss, addictions, LGBT issues, sexual/physical abuse, and more.

Each person has the ability to transform any challenge into evidence of their own strength, resilience and success as long as she or he has the courage to ask for and accept help when help is needed. There is no shame in asking for a doctor's assistance with an injury or condition, just as there is no shame in seeking a therapist's aid when a problem has become too complicated for you or your support network to resolve on your own. Let me help you discover that there is proof in hope.

I'm Kari Riddell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a compassionate therapist specializing in providing support for goal-oriented individuals who are seeking a safe and non-judgmental space to share their experiences and take actionable steps towards positive change. Whether you're a teenager or an adult, I'm here to guide you through life's complexities and help you achieve your personal goals.

Calling to make a therapy appointment and then walking into a counseling office for the first time are two of the hardest things for a person to do. It takes courage even to come this far. You have what it takes to complete the journey. (note: I can return email inquiries faster than phone calls)

I am currently FULL at this time. When available, my primary area of focus is helping couples find effective ways of communicating and improving their overall connection. I am Level 3 Trained in the Gottman Method (Look up John Gottman on youtube for an idea of this approach). I also really enjoy working with children, adolescents, early adults, and adults. I have extensive experience working with various mental health disorders from psychosis, depression, anxiety, ptsd, and grief and loss. If you are looking for a counselor that is genuine and down-to-earth, I'd love to help.

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.
