About Us.
Welcome to Autism Services at LCC! As professionals in the field for over a decade, we understand how overwhelming an Autism diagnosis can be. Whether your child has recently been diagnosed or you’ve been navigating through this journey for a while, the options can feel endless and the process daunting. From the very first phone call, we strive to be a resource for you and your child.
We serve the Knoxville and the Tri-cities area and provide services for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other related developmental disorders. All our programs are based on the principles and evidence-based practices of Applied Behavior Analysis.
The spectrum of Autism and other developmental delays is quite extensive and each of our approaches are created to meet the needs of each individual child. We work one-on-one with your child at their pace to improve communication skills and guide challenging behavior, rewriting the story of what’s possible for their future.
We are currently offering ABA services in-home, in-school, and in-clinic.
We are working on offering social skills groups and parenting classes in the future to further meet the needs of our community. Visit our Support Groups page for more information.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), simply stated, is a research-based style of teaching and learning. It involves using techniques such as prompting, fading, shaping, and reinforcement of your child’s behavior. ABA can be used to teach a variety of skills, such as increasing language development, social skills, coping skills, and alternative behaviors in place of problem behaviors.

10 Years Experience
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand that your life is complex and there are various demands and expectations at different life stages that can be impacted by situational and mental health struggles. It's important to be mindful of the interaction between those demands and your stage of life.
My experiences are diverse. I have worked for over twenty years with individuals, couples, and groups across the lifespan and socioeconomic spectrum by providing a range of clinical services including assessment, consultation, and psychotherapy. I know how challenging asking for help can be and I strive to work collaboratively with clients, both validating your feelings and experiences while helping you to uncover patterns and obstacles that are holding you back from reaching your goals.
I seek to provide treatment in an integrative way, utilizing Solution-Focused, Interpersonal, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Using these modalities we will focus not just on difficulties, but on areas of strength and positive coping mechanisms. As part of my work, I am always happy to collaborate with medical doctors, attorneys, in-home therapeutic teams, and school systems to ensure that all providers working with you or your family are in sync with the goals you are striving to achieve.
