Codependency
Karen Hartfield, MA, LMHC, Fearless Heart Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sandplay Therapist with STA
Codependency occurs when someone's perception or experience of themselves is defined by external people or circumstances. One of the main ways clients and I work with codependency is to explore where their sense of self originates, and to work towards finding and honoring an internal compass, while still maintaining important and healthy relationships in their lives.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Co-dependency is a very common pattern for people but can become quite debilitating over time. It leads us to destructive relationships and life patterns. Understanding how that impacts our lives and how to establish healthier patterns of living is extremely important.

Codependency
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Codependency can feel like being trapped in over-responsibility for others while neglecting yourself. Using IFS, attachment-focused work. I help clients understand the parts of them driving these patterns and build healthier boundaries. Narrative and experiential therapies further support reclaiming self-worth and agency. I also offer diagnostic clarity when codependent patterns overlap with trauma, depression, or personality features.

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.
