I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is in the practice to help you and your family overcome the difficult challenges that life throws your way. I believe in developing a strong therapeutic relationship that provides a feeling of safety and connection which I feel are keys for therapy to be successful. I have been licensed and practicing for five years specializing in working with children and families.
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.
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 at Hiwassee Mental Health Center.
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.

She facilitated groups; provided care consultations and coordinated services for clients both admitted and discharged from the nursing home; and provided individual counseling services.

I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Board Certified Hypnotherapist based in Madison, TN, with 16 years in practice. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and am a certified hypnotherapist through the National Guild of Hypnotists. I'm also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, so I train and supervise other clinicians in addition to seeing clients myself.
I work with adults and families around addiction, trauma and PTSD, and impulse control disorders, along with anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders, OCD, relationship issues, and compulsive or disruptive patterns. Hypnotherapy and Internal Family Sytems are my favorite modalities.
I offer both in-person sessions (at Watershed Wellness Cooperative in Madison) and telehealth, with daytime, evening, and weekend availability.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's of Science in Social Work from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have over 13 years of experience helping adults, teens, children and families in the midst of significant life transitions. I have worked within child welfare, family homelessness, psychiatric hospital care, school, and tele-heath settings. In my practice, I help adolescents and adults overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and other life issues.
I believe in empowering people to take charge of their own present and future lives. Generally, when you seek therapy, you are overwhelmed and ready to change. I believe you have it within yourself to make sense of your life, focus on creating the life you desire, and feel in control. I use strength and solution-based, client -centered psychotherapy. I am nonjudgmental, compassionate, and have a sense of humor. Regardless of the weight of therapy, we will also laugh!
