Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.

Dr. Courtney Williams

Psychologist

Virtual • Tennessee


I’m a licensed psychologist with advanced training in trauma-informed and culturally responsive care. I earned my doctorate in Counseling Psychology and have worked across clinical, wellness, and consulting settings supporting individuals navigating burnout, identity stress, trauma, mood disorders and major life transitions.

I specialize in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), particularly Black women and professionals who are tired of carrying it all and ready to live with more clarity, boundaries, and ease. My work is deeply relational—I believe healing happens in connection, not isolation—and I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the room.

Outside of therapy, I love vacationing and traveling (rest is not a reward, it’s a right), hosting gatherings at my home, spending time with loved ones, and creating soulful experiences through writing, speaking, and wellness work. Clients often describe me as grounded, warm, and direct—the kind of therapist who will validate you and help you move forward.

Areas of focus include: Burnout and stress management Life transitions and identity exploration Trauma and stuck patterns Boundary-setting and people-pleasing High-achieving professionals navigating overwhelm Clients from marginalized and intersectional identities

Therapist

Perhaps you're struggling in silence, and from the outside, everything seems fine to your friends and family. But what happens when your outer world doesn't reflect what's going on inside? You may feel overwhelmed, lost, or too embarrassed to speak up. Who can you talk to or trust that you can say the things that you don’t feel right to say out loud? You are not alone, and it is more common than you may think. This increases anxiety and can stand in the way of building fulfilling relationships, achieving career success, or finding a place of peace where you truly feel at home.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chattanooga

Finding the right therapist in Chattanooga starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or something else, look for a licensed provider who specializes in that area. Common license types in Tennessee include LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), and psychologists. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners are also available if you're interested in medication management.

With many providers practicing across the Chattanooga area — from downtown and the Southside to Hixson, Ooltewah, and Signal Mountain — it helps to consider logistics alongside clinical fit. Think about whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, what days and times work for your schedule, and whether a provider's approach and background match your preferences. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a clearer sense of what to expect.

Therapy in Chattanooga can be expensive without insurance, but using in-network benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to lower your cost. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Costs vary based on your specific plan and location, so confirming your coverage is a good first step.
