Schema Therapists in Chattanooga, TN

We believe that everyone deserves a safe environment to process through issues. We all need someone during difficult times without being judged.

No one's life came with an instruction manual! Sooner or later we all encounter emotional problems, or engage in addictive behaviors, & experience relational problems too. I have specific experience and training in helping people navigate these kinds of issues. My clients typically experience progressive freedom and develop effective ways of coping with these issues. See the checklist below to learn about the specific struggles I can be of service to help with. I am a licensed therapist in Knoxville, Tennessee. I help people improve their relationships and overcome addictions or emotional problems. I accept most insurances & self-pay. I offer counseling in the office or through an online video platform. You can schedule an appointment to see me online or at my Knoxville office at the client portal link on my website!

Welcome to Seven Hills Psychology. We specialize in providing comprehensive psychological services including: Adult psychotherapy Couples & family therapy Child & adolescent therapy Psychological assessment

Psychotherapy is most effective when two people (therapist and client) work together to develop a type of therapeutic relationship that not only seeks to make sense of unfolding dynamics but also provides a safe place from which to explore both the known and unknown. In other words, psychotherapy or counseling should offer a meaningful experience, offering new ways of being, relating, and experiencing. Lasting change becomes possible when we are able to find and apply new ways of thinking and feeling about ourselves and others - new ways of relating or responding to the world in which we live and engage.

As a clinical health psychologist, I work with adults (18+) to support the connection between mental and physical health. I specialize in areas like perinatal mood, anxiety, trauma and adjustment challenges, infertility; recovery from physical injury or hospitalization; insomnia; chronic pain; oncology; digestive health; illness-related changes; weight management; and preparing for or adjusting to surgeries like bariatrics or transplants. I take an evidence-based, compassionate approach to care, tailoring strategies to your unique needs to help you feel supported and empowered on your journey.

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.
