Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Chattanooga, TN

I’m Kate Flannery, a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting women, couples, and families through anxiety, stress, trauma, and major life transitions. I specialize in helping clients navigate seasons such as pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, parenting challenges, relationship changes, and times when life feels overwhelming or uncertain.

I have been practicing since 2017 and provide virtual therapy for clients in Tennessee and California. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel understood while learning ways to manage anxiety, navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and feel more confident in yourself and your decisions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping clients. I am trained in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Brainspotting, Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga.

For over 20 years I have had the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life in their journey of healing emotional pain. I value and respect the complexities that come with being human, recognizing that each person brings their own unique experiences and challenges. My approach centers on building trusting and compassionate relationships, which I believe are essential for healing. Through these supportive connections, many individuals have found recovery and growth, whether they are healing from childhood sexual abuse, rebuilding their lives after a divorce, or recovering from the pain of an affair

As a therapist with over a decade of experience, I recognize that taking the first step toward seeking therapy can be difficult, which is why I want to help clients feel comfortable discussing some of life's most challenging topics. As I near the end of my education in Counseling Psychology, I have honed my experience in trauma-informed care. I have experience in working with individuals across the lifespan, but have focused my recent work with adults aged 18+ with extensive trauma and anxiety.

You might look like you have everything together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted from carrying so much for so long. When you’re used to being the strong one, it can be hard to slow down or ask for help. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can understand your emotions, reduce stress, and begin moving toward feeling more balanced, confident, and in control.

I get it—feeling stuck in the same old patterns, craving deeper connections, and wondering how to even begin to break free can be exhausting. If you’re anything like the people I work with (and honestly, like I once was myself), you’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking, “Something has to change... but what?” That’s where I come in.

Feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or the many transitions of life? Struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or coping with chronic illness? Experiencing infidelity, feeling disconnected, stuck, or lacking trust and intimacy with your partner? Or hey, maybe you’re just really freaking tired from carrying it all.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I’m Destinee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist providing compassionate, trauma-informed virtual therapy to clients across Tennessee. I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and culturally sensitive care tailored to your unique identity and experience.

As a PMH-C therapist, I also offer support to adults, teens, and couples navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic illness, identity, trauma, stress, grief, infidelity and relationship challenges. With years of experience in psychiatric hospitals, medical settings like the PICU and NICU, private practice, schools, and grief support groups, I bring a well-rounded, expert approach to your mental health care. My couples counseling is self-pay only, at a rate of $170.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to break—whether it’s addiction, codependency, or depression? You may feel overwhelmed, drained, or constantly putting others first while losing yourself in the process. I work with teens and adults across Tennessee who are navigating addiction, relationship patterns, and depression. Together, we create a supportive space where you can understand what’s driving these patterns and begin building a healthier, more balanced life.
