Karen Hartfield, MA, LMHC, Fearless Heart Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sandplay Therapist with STA
Body image challenges are usually very deep rooted. I work with my clients to address core beliefs that may be feeding into their current perspective, and to find practical ways to move forward in life in a positive way. Using art and mindfulness can also be appropriate and helpful in this journey.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
Here's a concise therapist-directory version:
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their bodies. Many individuals struggle with body dissatisfaction, negative self-talk, appearance-related anxiety, emotional eating, perfectionism, or the impact of societal and cultural pressures. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients challenge unhelpful beliefs, improve self-esteem, cultivate body acceptance, and focus on overall well-being rather than appearance. My goal is to help clients feel more confident, empowered, and at peace in their own skin.

Seth Frank
Marriage and Family Therapist, MMFT, M.Div, AMFT
You might be feeling stuck in a constant battle with your body, aught between how you think you should feel and how you actually do. Maybe your self-worth feels tied to your appearance, or you spend a lot of energy managing food, mirrors, or comparisons you wish you could turn off. Whether this struggle has been with you for years or it's something more recent, you're probably exhausted from the pressure. You are ready for a different kind of relationship with yourself. I can help. (Look at my practice details to see more about what it would look like to work together.)

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.
