I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 20 years of nursing and nursing education experience. I offer both therapy and medication management so you can get the support you need in one place if that feels right for you.
Hi, I’m Isaac, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-MHSP) who works with individuals and couples navigating life’s challenges and relationship struggles. I have experience supporting clients with sex addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, premarital counseling, and spiritual concerns. I’m especially passionate about helping people who feel stuck—whether in unhealthy patterns, relationships, or self-discovery. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and accepted just as you are.
Welcome!
I’m Savannah, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a passion for individuals and couples who want healing, restoration, and stabilization in their relationships and personal lives. Adulthood is full of challenges, changes, and hardship. But these challenges can be particularly overwhelming when you’ve entered adulthood with relational or childhood wounds. You may feel stuck, directionless, confused, enraged, depressed, anxious, and ashamed. However, there is hope.
There’s much more to your story.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Drawing on decades of experience, I provide a compassionate, practical, and holistic approach to therapy. I began my work as a spiritual and addictions counselor in 1981 and became a state-licensed mental health therapist in 2007. Since then, I have partnered with individuals, couples, families, and groups to help them build on their strengths, clarify their values, and create lasting change.
Before moving into private practice, I spent 20 years serving the Cleveland, Tennessee community as an outpatient therapist with Volunteer Behavioral Health.
I believe meaningful change is possible with the right support. My counseling approach is collaborative and focused on setting goals, building skills, gaining insight into your thoughts and beliefs, and working through challenges together. With more than 19 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, life transitions, and grief. I’m passionate about helping people learn to love and accept themselves as they are while growing into who they’re becoming.
Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, with 6 years working as an APRN with adults and children. My focus is ADHD, burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression, you know, the stuff that shows up in daily life and makes everything feel harder than it should. I handle psychiatric evaluations and medication management, and I actually enjoy the process of figuring out what works for you, not just what works in general.
I believe reaching out for support is a meaningful first step toward creating positive change. As a warm, compassionate, and welcoming counselor, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self and feel empowered throughout the counseling process. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chattanooga
Searching for therapists in Chattanooga starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Chattanooga therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to work on. Some therapists use specific methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others focus on areas like couples therapy, family counseling, or faith-informed care.
Chattanooga has a range of counseling options across neighborhoods like Hixson, St. Elmo, Southside, and nearby communities. Your best fit may depend on more than specialty. Consider appointment times, whether a therapist offers in-person or virtual sessions, and whether they are accepting new clients. Virtual therapy can also expand your options if local office availability or commute time limits your search. Before booking, read therapist profiles closely to understand how each person describes their style, session structure, and experience with concerns like marriage counseling, stress, or identity-related support.
Therapy in Chattanooga can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, view availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare Chattanooga counselors by specialty, appointment format, and fit, then book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
