Substance Abuse
Jamie Suarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-MHSP, CSAT & AF-EMDR (Informed)
Addictions are perhaps the most debilitating problem one can have. With the right treatment one can regain a sense of dominion over their life & choices. The escape of addiction is no longer controlling one's life. A new freedom is experienced. That is the hope I offer when treating addictions.

Substance Abuse
Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
I have extensive experience working with addictions and substance abuse. I do believe in a 12 step program so therapy with me will also require involvement in some other recovery program. This has a better chance of you remaining in recovery.

Substance Abuse
Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Addiction problems play havoc in families, relationships and one's health. Often, depression, anxiety and PTSD are underlying problems in addiction. No one wakes up one morning saying to themselves, "I want to become an addict." Most addicted people would turn back the clock if they could. But there is hope. One day at a time, a person can change their life for the better -- and forever. I worked in the Addiction Medicine Dept at Kaiser and did a residency at Betty Ford.

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.
