In Person Therapists in Norris, TN

In my years working as a therapist, I have discovered good therapy is not just about what I can do to help a client, but it’s also about who I am in the therapy room. I strive to be safe and open to everyone, providing an intentional space for you to come and sit, not only with me, but also with yourself. I’ve learned that, at times, we can be our own worst enemy, and we can also become our most powerful ally.

I know that seeking help can be overwhelming and there are many qualified individuals who could help you, but you need a therapist who is a good fit for you. Consider if I am this "good fit". I believe I have the unique ability to connect with my clients, and they with me. This can be done through empathy. Empathy is the experience of understanding another persons thoughts, feelings, and conditions from their point of view. I work hard at doing this with every individual and their unique experiences. Irvin Yalom, a renowned psychologist, suggested, therapy is mostly a process of removing obstacle

Navigating parenting and the challenges that come with it can be overwhelming, nerve-racking, and sometimes frustrating, especially if you have concerns regarding your child's development. You are not the only person who feels that way! Psychological evaluation can often be the first step in helping your child. Finding the root of the problem and taking appropriate steps can be a game changer for the well-being of your child, as well as yourself.

Welcoming New Clients. Did you know that if you have ADHD, you are more likely to struggle with anxiety & depression? You may also struggle with relationships, staying on task, managing emotions, and difficulties at work or school. You may feel like you are working against your brain versus with it. Having ADHD and it affecting your life daily feels exhausting. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel empowered throughout the therapeutic process. I approach therapy more as a conversation between the two of us and address any concerns you feel are important. I approach each session with an open mind and without judgment.

Trusting others can be difficult when you have been betrayed, neglected or abused. If you or your child is struggling with emotions or relationships, please allow me to help. By tailoring my interventions to your specific strengths and needs, we can work together to discover your potential and allow you to gain the peace and confidence that you need. This therapeutic relationship is non-judgmental and supportive of the unique person that you are.

I am passionate about assisting individuals and families in growing to their fullest potential. I do not view an individual's problems in a negative manner but believe that many obstacles can be used as opportunities to bring about positive changes and personal growth. A primary focus of my work history includes, working with clients and couples who have experienced depression, anxiety, loss and trauma. I have past experience working as a group facilitator in an intensive outpatient program for eating disorders and specialize in working with clients who struggle with disordered eating patterns.

I enjoy working with children and families who are struggling to understand each other and get along. A lack of communication and an inability to express feelings appropriately are often the main issues in these relationships. I work with not only the children/teens to increase their abilities in these areas, I also work with the parents and siblings to help them understand how they can help the relationship be less turbulent.

If you are broken and in need of healing from abuse and trauma and/or are trying to parent a "child forgotten" you have come to the right place. Suffering through the aftermath of sexual abuse, domestic violence, emotional abuse, foster care and extreme neglect often makes it nearly impossible to trust others, which is a necessary starting point for healthy relationship formation. Built to Bond, Inc. is designed to enable you to make sense of your trauma and begin the healing process from a Christian perspective through the "Treat PTSD with PTSD to get PTSD" treatment modality.

Life throws curve balls that often knock us down, but painful and difficult experiences do not have to define you. Instead, these experiences can be a starting point to creating a more authentic, connected version of yourself. Offering a space where my clients feel seen, heard, and valued is a tremendous honor and one of my greatest passions as a clinician. With the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics as a guide, my sessions utilize a variety of evidence-based models that are customized to meet the needs and goals of the adults, children, couples, families, and adolescents I serve.

Sometimes life gets hard and talking with someone is helpful. My approach to counseling is Salutogenic in nature and allows my clients to ground in their reality, explore their authentic self as well as find self-regulation through their personal competencies and experiences. We will partner together to help you formulate and understand this view of yourself through a holistic, person-centered approach.

Do you feel stuck? Maybe you feel like you’ll never get out of the same old routine no matter what you do. Or you think, “Even if I talk to someone about what’s going on, my clothes won’t get folded,” or, “My kid just won’t get off their Oculus. We’ve tried everything!” And, to be fair, you probably have tried everything. At least, everything that works for “everyone else”. I’m Abby. I specialize in working with people who think a little differently. Whether you’re a teen (or a parent of one), neurodivergent (ADHD, Autism, OCD, etc.), or experiencing burnout, you may have thought, “How do I get back to normal?”

Both in-person and telehealth appointments are available. If you'd like to make an appointment, click here: www.jeff-cockerham-lpc-mhsp.square.site/

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples. I see clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relational-stress, trauma and other mental health issues. I have extensive experience working with clients affected by emotional trauma. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal family systems (IFS), which I use to help clients process both PTSD and C-PTSD. In addition, I am certified in Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and also have advanced training in The Gottman Method for couples. I blend all of these interventions with a person-centered approach to provide a warm and collaborative style

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or wonder where you “fit in?” Do you struggle getting out of bed, have trouble falling sleep, or find yourself crying or “blowing up” more often?  You may be feeling isolated from your friends and family, or have a difficult time reaching out to your social supports. Maybe you are often feeling emotionally exhausted and mentally drained by routines that you used to accomplish with ease. Are you struggling to adapt to the increasingly chaotic world around you, or are you feeling a sense of loss for the life you had?
