Rick Brodsky
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Are you looking for an effective and experienced therapist? I have over 20 years of experience working with adults to address challenges that inevitably disrupt our lives, giving us an opportunity to reconsider our values while exploring and implementing new solutions aligned with those values. Life can be joyful at times, yet life can also bring anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. As a psychologist, I help adults 18-50+ years old navigate these difficult moments. Reach out to me to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in exposure-based therapies for OCD and anxiety disorders. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD and most anxiety disorders require specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD and for anxiety that actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD and anxiety, and I also address co-occurring depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD and anxiety, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.

Unchained Brain LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Unchained Brain is built on the belief that therapy should help you make sense of your experiences, not just cope with them. I work with adults who want a thoughtful and supportive approach to therapy, especially when stress, anxiety, cognitive concerns, or health changes begin to affect daily life. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and relieved to finally connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and brain functioning. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with clarity, and helps you move forward with confidence, I’d love to connect. Clients often seek me out when they want clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of how the brain, emotions, and daily functioning are connected, including support with thinking skills, organization, and cognitive changes.

Harney & Associates is a small, female-owned therapy practice dedicated to helping our clients feel more in touch with their emotions, bodies, and minds. We specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, body image, infertility, grief, anxiety, and depression and use empirically-supported treatments. Many clients arrive at our practice feeling disheartened - we understand the depth of emotional discomfort and loss individuals face during certain eras of their lifetime. Our clinicians hold space for these emotions and also explore the unique values and purpose each client brings to promote healing and fulfillment.
13 Years Experience
Online in Chattanooga, TN
Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable urban transformation over the past two decades — from a polluted post-industrial city to a nationally recognized model of revitalization anchored by the Tennessee Aquarium, a thriving outdoor economy, and a world-class broadband infrastructure — and its therapy community reflects a city coming into its own, with growing demand from young professionals, creatives, and outdoor enthusiasts relocating from other metros. The city has significant African American communities in Alton Park, East Chattanooga, and other historically Black neighborhoods, and therapists offering culturally affirming care and racial identity work are an important part of the local landscape. CHI Memorial Hospital and Erlanger Health System provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Chattanooga's outdoor recreation culture — anchored by Lookout Mountain, the Tennessee River Gorge, and proximity to Appalachian trails — shapes a therapy community with distinct interest in the intersection of nature, physical health, and mental well-being.
