EMDR Therapists in Morristown, TN

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. Armed with a Ph.D. in sexology, a master's in clinical psychology, a diverse array of complementary qualifications beyond the psychology realm and certified as an A.A.S.E.T Certified Sex Therapists. , I bring a multifaceted approach to therapy.

I am driven to support individuals in their personal growth and development, as well as help them make positive changes in their lives. I enjoy working with those who have a strong desire to understand themselves better, identify their core values and beliefs, and develop a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. I appreciate individuals who are open to exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and who are willing to challenge themselves to try new things and take risks. I understand that it can be difficult to step out of one’s comfort zone, but I am here to support and encourage individuals.

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.

You find yourself operating on autopilot most days - perhaps you're still getting things done, but not connecting to meaning, purpose, or your authentic self. Perhaps life is getting the best of you and you can't seem to come out on top any longer. It may be that anxiety attacks or panic dot the landscape of your life, or that you're feeling the steady creep of depression. Unwanted memories from the past may be taking their toll. You're ready to live a connected, joyful, authentic life, free from the fog of whatever might be holding you back.

The healing journey begins with compassion and understanding without judgment. This journey can be a long and tiresome one; don’t walk it alone.

Over the past 16 years, I have successfully guided clients in the achievement of emotional well-being and personal growth in the areas of A.D.H.D., Anxiety, and Trauma.

I have experience working with infants/toddlers, children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy. I offer a compassionate, encouraging, patient, and supportive nature when working with clients. I am able to sit with clients in their struggles and explore their goals of how they want life to be improved as we work through their issues together.

One of the things life has taught me is to not believe everything you think because our mind can really play tricks on us. There is hope even when you think there is none. There are solutions even when you cannot see them, because you have more power than you know.
