Our office follows safety protocol with any sickness for safety and we also have online resources to provide therapy to our clients. The first assessment is in person but then all other sessions can be online, or face to face! AdvancedMD is for telehealth services; but this will need an appointment and then our clients do receive the link to my platform and guidelines to ensure effective sessions. My other counselors have their own links and this will be provided. Our counselors have no less th...
College can be one of the most exciting—and overwhelming—times of life. Between academic pressures, changing friendships, identity exploration, and major life decisions, it’s normal to feel anxious, uncertain, or stuck. You might be struggling with low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or simply trying to figure out who you are and what you want from your future. I specialize in working with college students who are navigating these transitions and feeling the weight of it all. Whether yo...
Hi, I’m Amanda. I work with individuals and couples who want to get to the root of their patterns—whether it’s relational conflict, trauma symptoms, anxiety, or a sense that something deeper is in the way of fully living. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but exhausted internally. Others feel flooded, shut down, or stuck in dynamics they can’t quite name. I help you slow down and listen to the wisdom of your nervous system, so we can understand how past experiences may st...
I am a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee and work with students all over the state. I work with people who are dealing with things like stress, difficult transitions and circumstances, traumatic events, grief, discrimination, and systemic marginalization. I specialize in working with people seeking recovery from the abuse they experienced in their families, intimate relationships, workplaces, religious and faith communities, and also survivors of cults and other high-demand/contro...
My practice is dedicated to working with people who are seeking emotional emancipation. They desire to claim or reclaim their lives after traumatic experiences or relational struggles that have left them feeling down, anxious, lonely, confused or scared and often don't really know how to begin to be different in the midst of all of these feelings. Working with me means exploring together the experiences that make you who you are by looking both at what your life is like today and how your pas...
Life is too short to stay stuck in behaviors, relationships, and patterns that detract rather than enhance our lives. At some point in all of our lives, we are likely to find ourselves stagnant and in need of a change, unsure which direction to go in a time of transition, or just dissatisfied and maybe not even sure why. It can be difficult to know where and how to begin the journey to change and growth. Or even to know what you want that change to be right now. If this resonates with you, know ...

Alongside therapeutic work, I am passionate about the different tools that we can use in order to initiate holistic healing, including things like: nutrition, meditation, exercise, community, spiritual practices, 12-step programs, rest and fun (yes-even fun)! I particularly enjoy working with clients through the following: establishing boundaries, relational issues, differentiation from family, adult children of divorce, adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families, those who have a l...

Clients who experience the most benefit while working me are those who seek therapy because they are feeling stuck, like they've been living out a script that keeps repeating itself, and who want to make progress moving forward. If you've noticed dynamics within your family or in your past that keep repeating in your relationships, at work, or as barriers to your goals, then my therapeutic approach may be a helpful intervention. If you live in East Tennessee, we have the option of taking our ses...
I enjoy living in the corners and at the fringes of what stereotypical therapy might look like. It is important to me that those who are outcasts, quirky, different, neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and the marginalized feel heard. When we work together, I want you to feel like you matter (because you do). If you like the utilization of tarot and oracle cards, we can incorporate that. If you need resources on affirming places to practice spirituality, we can look at those. If you want to talk about kink ...

Ever have those days where you feel like you’re not going to make it through the day much less the semester, become discouraged, stressed out, anxious, felt alone or have sleepless nights? You tell yourself you need a change or help, but you’ve been putting it off. Meanwhile, you’ve been missing out on things because you’ve locked yourself away, make up excuses not to follow through with plans, tell yourself you won’t have fun, or you don’t want to ruin anyone else’s good time. It’s time...

Before launching my clinical private practice, I worked at New York University’s on-campus mental health center, the Wellness Exchange, where I had the privilege of supporting undergraduate and graduate students through a wide range of challenges. My work there gave me direct insight into the unique pressures and transitions that come with college life—academic stress, anxiety, depression, identity development, dating & relationship struggles, and navigating independence for the first time. I al...
