Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I know choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to provide an atmosphere that is collaborative, nurturing, and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I do this using therapeutic techniques that are evidenced-based which means these methods have consistently been shown effective through research. I make every effort to balance kindness with a focus on getting you to where you want to be. This balance results in people feeling understood while creating meaningful change.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who performs, leads, manages, and keeps going no matter what. From the outside, you look capable and composed. But inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unable to sleep. What used to feel manageable now feels impossible. You are tired of white-knuckling your way through a life that looks successful on paper, but feels unsustainable in reality.
I’m Dr. Gayle MacBride, a licensed psychologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. I work with high-achieving adults navigating burnout, insomnia, relationship strain, trauma, and relentless internal pressure. Many of my clients have already tried pushing through on their own. They are not looking for generic advice or passive therapy. They want experienced, evidence-based care that is practical, strategic, and built for meaningful change.
My approach is direct, compassionate, and active. We identify what is driving the distress, define clear goals, and use a structured plan to help you move forward. Depending on your needs, I draw from CBT for anxiety and depression, CBT-I for insomnia, Prolonged Exposure and CPT for trauma, and Gottman-informed skills for relationship concerns. For couples who feel unsure whether to stay together, separate, or recommit, I also offer Discernment Counseling. This is therapy designed to help you sleep better, think more clearly, feel more grounded, and function in a way that is effective and sustainable.
I offer telehealth for clients in 40+ states, and in-person visits for people in the Southern Metro of Minneapolis. If you are ready to stop performing wellness and start making real changes, I’m here to help.

Carrie Marchant LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have worked primarily with youth and their families for well over 20 years, helping them learn emotion control, effective communication skills, and conflict resolution, and how to deal with other problematic issues as a criminologist. Families oftentimes find themselves needing more help than ever when dealing with youth who are in their turbulent teenage years. My specialty has been with youth of all ages, but especially teens, and their families. My real goal as a therapist is to help bring peace and hope to families who have experienced trauma and feel hopeless.
My interest in becoming a therapist was peaked because I had a tremendously positive experience with teachers, counselors, and others in the people-helping industry who made a vast difference in my life as an adolescent. I also had an incredibly therapeutic experience that impacted who I am today. I understand it takes courage to open your wounds and share your trauma with a stranger. I am a therapist with whom you will feel safe and comfortable because I am empathetic, compassionate, warm, and nonjudgmental.

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.
