Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
I'm Dr. Anna Smith (she/her), a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist. I offer online sex therapy, couples therapy, & relationship counseling across the US in 40+ states — for people who want deeper intimacy, more honest communication, & relationships that feel good.
What makes my practice different is that it’s built entirely around deep relational and sexual intimacy—nothing else. With over a decade focused exclusively on couples and sex therapy, AASECT certification, and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma-informed care, I’m not a generalist who happens to see couples; this is the work I love.
Clients tell me they finally feel seen, supported, and gently challenged in the exact ways they need. If you care deeply about your relationship (or your relationship with yourself) but feel stuck, exhausted by the same patterns, or unsure how to talk about sex without shame, I’d be honored to help. You deserve a therapist who specializes in exactly what you’re struggling with—and who can help you create the safety, closeness, and pleasure you’ve been longing for. Let’s talk.

As a licensed professional counselor, I provide individual therapy services for adults who experience anxiety, depression, grief, eating disorders, body image concerns, chronic stress, and life transitions. I believe the power of relationships is the lifeforce in our stories - we're not meant to be alone. I'm honored to journey with you as a fellow human and therapist in exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences to help you get unstuck and flourishing.

Dr. Annette Gallardo PhD- Virtual/Online
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD Doctor in Psychology
If you feel emotionally alone in your marriage — I see you.
Maybe your spouse won’t talk. Maybe you feel like you’re the only one trying, while carrying the weight of the relationship on your own. I help women and couples navigate this painful space with compassion, faith, and practical steps that lead to healing, clarity, and connection — even if your partner isn’t ready (yet).
You don’t have to keep repeating the same arguments or feeling invisible.
With God, all things are possible — and healing can begin with just one willing heart.

Christian Bumpous
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CDWF
“We get better in connection” is one of the mantras I live by. And what better way to make that happen than in therapy? We all know what it’s like to feel unwell and in the struggle.
17 Years Experience
Online in Chattanooga, TN Tennessee
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 North 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 wellbeing.
