Hi, I'm Elizabeth. Many of my clients experienced talk therapy in the past and felt that something was still missing. If this sounds like you, I invite you to try a different type of therapy. I specialize in working with: “Things look great on the outside but I feel like a mess on the inside,” Struggling self-worth, low confidence, chronic shame, self-criticism, and "What is my purpose?" My desire is to help you return to your natural state of aliveness, presence, and inner clarity. The details are on my website (there's a link on this page) but the short of it is- I can support you at the heart of things effectively and efficiently.

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.
