We all experience worries and anxiety at some point in our lives. Sometimes our ways of coping with these feelings don't seem like enough. Whether you are dealing with nagging worries, or something more significant such as specific fears (e.g., driving, flying), obsessive-compulsive tendencies (e.g., hording, having trouble with germs, varying your routine), or are having panic attack symptoms, we can work towards reducing the impact these worries are having on your life.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
Anxiety, Fear, and the Overactive Alarm
Moving from Survival to Safety
Anxiety is rarely just "stress." It is a profound, systemic response—a persistent signal from your nervous system that you are not safe, even when your logical mind says otherwise. In my practice, we don’t just "manage" symptoms; we work to understand the roots of your fear and rewire the internal alarm that keeps you in a state of constant vigilance.
The Anatomy of Fear
Whether your anxiety manifests as a loud, racing heart or a quiet, paralyzing dread, it often stems from deep-seated patterns of protection. We explore:
The "What-If" Loop: Addressing the cognitive exhaustion of chronic worry and the hyper-vigilance that comes from expecting the next crisis.
Somatic Awareness: Understanding how your body stores fear—from the tight chest to the shallow breath—and learning to regulate your nervous system in real-time.
Attachment-Based Anxiety: Exploring how early relationships shape our current fears of abandonment, inadequacy, or "not being enough."
A Specialized Clinical Approach
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate deep-reaching modalities to help you find a grounded sense of peace:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): We use EMDR to target the "stuck" memories or past traumas that fuel today’s anxiety, allowing your brain to finally process fear into a sense of resolution.
Systems Theory: We look at the external "constructs" in your life—your family, your work, and social inequities—to see how your environment may be triggering or sustaining your anxiety.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "anxious parts" of you. Instead of fighting them, we learn what they are trying to protect, allowing them to finally step back from the driver's seat.
For the "High-Functioning" Anxious
I have a particular passion for working with perfectionists, therapists, and leaders who appear composed on the outside while white-knuckling through their days. You deserve a space where you don't have to "have it all together"—a space where your fear is met with courage, curiosity, and clinical precision.

Seth Frank
Marriage and Family Therapist, MMFT, M.Div, AMFT
You might be feeling overwhelmed, caught in a loop of overthinking, worst-case scenarios, or a constant undercurrent of worry you can’t shake. Maybe it feels like your mind won’t stop racing, or like you're always bracing for something to go wrong, especially when things seem fine. Whether you’ve been managing this quietly for years or you’re just now starting to notice how much it’s affecting your life, you know something needs to shift. I can help. (Look at my practice details to see more about what it would look like to work together.)

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Anxiety can keep you on alert and second-guessing yourself, even when you know you are doing your best. We will work on understanding how your anxiety operates and what keeps it reinforced. I will help you build tools to steady your nervous system and gradually face the situations you have been avoiding so your choices are guided more by what matters to you than by fear.

Anxiety
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with individuals experiencing persistent worry, overthinking, and physical symptoms of anxiety that interfere with daily life. Drawing on extensive clinical experience treating anxiety and related concerns across community mental health and private practice settings, I incorporate biological and neurological education to help clients understand how anxiety affects the brain, body, and nervous system.
Anxiety is a naturally occurring process that can build slowly or appear suddenly. While many people associate anxiety only with panic attacks, it more often shows up as overthinking, constant analyzing, chronic worry, and a low-grade sense of never feeling fully safe. This ongoing activation can cause the limbic system to become overactive and gradually diminish the body’s ability to relax. Anxiety often gives the false impression of control over situations that are ultimately outside of our control.
In our work together, I teach practical skills to regulate the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, reduce reactivity, and restore a sense of internal stability. Together, we develop tools to manage uncertainty, increase tolerance for lack of control, and respond to stress with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee — the state's flagship research university — and serves as the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains and Appalachian outdoor recreation culture, giving it a distinctive blend of college-town energy and Appalachian heritage that shapes its therapy community. The city's growing healthcare sector, anchored by UT Medical Center and Covenant Health, provides institutional mental health resources and supplies clinical training to the local community. Knoxville's working-class Appalachian communities carry distinct cultural attitudes toward help-seeking — including strong value on self-reliance and community support — that therapists must navigate with cultural sensitivity. The University of Tennessee's psychology programs, combined with the city's proximity to Appalachian communities experiencing opioid-related crisis, mean addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma are among the most active areas in Knoxville's local therapy landscape.
