Women's Issues
Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
I have been addressing women's issues all my life. Learning to be proud of your gender and to empower yourself and other women in your life. Sometimes it is easy to lose ourselves in our relationships or in motherhood and it is important to know yourself and your value.

Women's Issues
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping women navigate the unique challenges that arise throughout different stages of life. Women's issues may include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, body image difficulties, relationship challenges, infertility, pregnancy and postpartum adjustment, parenting stress, caregiving responsibilities, career transitions, and perimenopause or menopause. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and health psychology interventions, I help women build resilience, improve emotional well-being, strengthen coping skills, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate environment where women feel empowered to overcome challenges and thrive.

Women's Issues
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Women often navigate complex layers around body image, desire, sexual shame, people-pleasing, motherhood, hormonal changes, or the pressure to “have it all together” while still longing for deeper emotional and sexual fulfillment. In individual or couples work, we explore these themes with compassion and directness, unpacking old patterns, healing relational wounds, and reconnecting with your authentic needs and pleasures. Therapy here supports you in building relationships—starting with the one with yourself—that feel nourishing, empowered, and genuinely intimate.

Women's Issues
Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Women often carry invisible loads—balancing relationships, career, caregiving, and personal identity while navigating societal expectations and life transitions. Whether you’re facing burnout, anxiety, body image struggles, reproductive challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can offer space to be seen, heard, and supported. I help women explore their experiences, set boundaries, heal from past wounds, and reconnect with their strength and voice. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Bloom Within You Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Lauren Graham, LCSW
Women often carry multiple roles, expectations, and responsibilities that can affect emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity, and sexual health. Concerns may include stress, people-pleasing, body image, self-esteem, relationship changes, motherhood, life transitions, intimacy concerns, or feeling disconnected from your own needs.
In therapy, we will explore the experiences, beliefs, and pressures that may be affecting how you feel about yourself and your relationships. My approach is supportive, trauma-informed, and individualized, with an emphasis on helping you strengthen boundaries, build confidence, reconnect with your identity, and better understand what you want and need.
My goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can prioritize yourself, develop greater self-awareness, and create a life and relationships that feel more authentic and fulfilling.

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.
