Willow & Arbor, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist
OCD is often met with advice to ignore intrusive thoughts or 'just relax.' These well meaning but unhelpful attempts can leave someone struggling with OCD to sink further and further into self-loathing and blame, ultimately feeding and emboldening the OCD. We will work through the history of your OCD experience, help you identify how OCD manifests, collaborate with you to validate and strengthen your authentic self, and also develop strategies for recovery.

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.
