Sometimes your mind understands what’s happened, but your body still holds the impact. I’m trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, approaches that help gently process those deeper layers. My work integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness to support nervous system regulation, so change doesn’t just feel intellectual, it feels real, grounded, and lasting.

Mary Jo Harmon

Therapist

Virtual • Memphis, TN


I’m a therapist based in Memphis who works with high-achieving women navigating anxiety, burnout, identity transitions, and complex relationship dynamics. Many of my clients are successful on the outside and exhausted on the inside. They are often the responsible one, the strong one, the reliable one — and quietly overwhelmed.

My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), an evidence-based model that helps clients understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves — the driven part, the critical part, the anxious part, the part that feels unseen. I am Level 1 trained in IFS and integrate attachment-informed and trauma-responsive care into my practice.

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

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
