Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Depression arises from avoiding, or having difficulty with, living in the present. Peace and calm are in the present instead of living in the past or the future. I use AAIT to help you fully experience the peace of the present.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
Often depression results from our environment or from faulty beliefs about ourselves or the world that we learned as a child. Subconsciously those work on us in a negative way. Finding the faulty subconscious thinking and retraining ourselves can often make a significant difference in our mood.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work with clients to understand how depression affects thoughts, emotions, and daily behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies to lift mood, increase motivation, and rebuild engagement in meaningful activities. I guide clients in challenging negative thinking, setting achievable goals, and cultivating self-compassion. My goal is to help clients regain a sense of control, find hope, and build skills to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and balance.

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.
