Trauma and PTSD therapists in Bristol, Tennessee TN
Willow & Arbor, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist
Trauma impacts people in a variety of ways, so much so that some people do not recognize their experience as a result of trauma until it becomes debilitating or someone else points it out. We create a safe therapeutic space to process your past, present, and future together. We do not work on simply dismissing or letting trauma go. We work on emotional and behavioral insight, where and how the trauma is held in your life narrative, and post traumatic growth.

Meghan McCoy-Smith

I am experienced in working with individuals navigating a history of trauma and abuse. I can help you return to safety and help you understand (and change) how it impacts you currently so that you can experience the world as a safe space again.

Ken Knoechel - Effective Mindset
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Do you feel scared all the time? Do you feel like fear from past experiences control your what you do and say? PTSD conditions you to always be on the lookout for danger! Even if you’re consciously telling yourself, “HEY NOW, RELAX, THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR HERE,” your subconscious mind retorts, “Hell no! You need to make sure what happened before doesn’t happen ever again!” I will help you learn to control how you respond physically and emotionally to people, places, and things that trigger escalated emotions. It usually takes me about a month (4 sessions) to bring my clients to places that resolve resilience in their lives. You can expect good things after meeting with me for a while. I hope to see you soon.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
A trauma-informed approach underlies all of my work as a therapist. I know that many clients come to therapy not specifically because of trauma, but because they feel lonely or inadequate, they are depressed or anxious, or just cannot seem to have the intimacy they crave. Sometimes acknowledging trauma comes later in the therapy work and that is okay. Just know that I trust that you will talk about it when you are ready.
I would like to join you in acknowledging how the past has affected your present and in charting a course to healing that works for you. You may wish to talk about particular pains from the past and you may wish to focus on the future. We will work together to find the balance that is right for you, so that you can live the life that you really want to live.
