At this time of covid-19 we are all feeling very isolated. It is difficult to know how to bridge that. However we can work on ways to connect through trying time.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults overcome social isolation and build meaningful, fulfilling connections with others. Feelings of loneliness and disconnection can arise from anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, chronic health conditions, or past experiences of rejection and loss. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), interpersonal strategies, and mindfulness-based techniques, I help clients increase confidence in social situations, strengthen communication skills, address barriers to connection, and develop supportive relationships. My goal is to help clients cultivate a greater sense of belonging, improve emotional well-being, and create a more connected and satisfying life.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Isolation may feel protective but often deepens loneliness and shame. I use IFS, attachment work, and integrative approaches to help clients explore the parts that fear connection and slowly build safety in relationships. Somatic and mindfulness practices support regulation in social settings. My diagnostic expertise clarifies overlap with depression, trauma, or personality disorders, and I work with prescribers when needed.

Social isolation can affect emotional well-being, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. I work with adults who feel lonely, disconnected, or unsure how to re-engage with others. Whether you have experienced recent life changes, anxiety, loss, or long-standing patterns of withdrawal, therapy can provide a supportive space to explore your experience and move toward more meaningful connection. I use evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychoeducation, and mindfulness-informed strategies to help clients reconnect with others and with themselves. If you are feeling isolated or stuck, I invite you to reach out for a free 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.
