Chasity Goddard
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
ADHD does not define you. I understand that ADHD presents differently for different individuals and my treatment approach is about acceptance and self-forgiveness. Anyone can teach ADHD skills; Google can give you a list of skills. I help with learning to live as a full, amazing individual fully accepting, loving, and appreciating yourself.

Lauren Whitlow
Psychologist, PsyD
Living with ADHD can affect much more than attention. It can impact organization, time management, emotional regulation, relationships, work or school performance, and self-confidence. Whether you've recently been diagnosed or have been managing symptoms for years, therapy can help you better understand how ADHD shows up in your daily life. Together, we'll identify your unique strengths, develop practical strategies to improve focus and follow through, create systems that work for your lifestyle, and address the frustration, overwhelm, or self criticism that often accompanies ADHD.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
If your brain feels like it’s running ten tabs at once—and none of them are loading—you might be in the right place. I specialize in working with adults with ADHD, whether you’ve been recently diagnosed, wondering if you might have it, or just tired of feeling stuck, scattered, behind, or overwhelmed by everyday tasks. Shame, self-doubt, and years of trying to "just push through" are common—but they don’t have to be the end of the story.
At The Momentum Practice, I offer both comprehensive ADHD assessments and therapy designed to support neurodivergent brains with warmth, clarity, and practical tools. I believe in creating spaces where you don’t have to explain your existence—just your goals. A space where you can show up exactly as you are, take a deep breath, and exhale. With over 15 years of experience, I help clients move from chaos to clarity, and from self-criticism to self-understanding. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and focused on progress—not perfection. Whether you’re navigating career stress, burnout, executive functioning challenges, or the emotional weight of masking and self-doubt, we’ll work together to create meaningful momentum. I also speak fluent overthinking, so no need to translate. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

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.
