Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
My work with weight management and health behavior change focuses on helping adults develop sustainable habits that support long-term health and well-being. Using evidence-based cognitive behavioral and biopsychosocial approaches, I work collaboratively with patients to address barriers to weight loss, nutrition, physical activity, motivation, and other lifestyle factors, with an emphasis on practical, achievable changes that can be maintained over time.

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.
