Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Cookeville, TN

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

Hi, I’m Angela, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Maryland and Tennessee via telehealth. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and specialize in working with children ages 11 and up, teens, and adults. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD and ASD and life transitions, and I have a warm, grounded style that helps clients feel safe and understood. My background includes extensive experience with youth and families, and I integrate evidence-based modalities such as CBT, Exposure-Based approaches, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and trauma-informed care.

I love working with people and helping them "grow" through the things of life that they "go" through. A quote that I love to share with clients and live by personally is to remember not to focus on your purpose but to live your life purposely. As a military social worker my background is specific to first responders, but most importantly individuals that are learning their new "normal" after traumatic life events that have unexpectedly shaped them.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience in behavioral and mental health, including 2.5 years providing clinical therapy. I’ve worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and with concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, anger, communication difficulties, social skills, relationship challenges, life transitions, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

I have a particular interest in working with men and creating a space where they can talk openly about emotions, relationships, stress, identity, confidence, and the pressures that can come with trying to handle everything on their own. At the same time, I enjoy working with anyone who connects with my approach and is looking for a therapist who is supportive, honest, and practical.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy, and you won’t be judged for where you are. Whether you’re dealing with a specific problem or simply have a sense that something needs to change, I’ll meet you where you are. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, identify what may be holding you back, and develop practical tools for creating meaningful change in your life and relationships.

I’m Jessica Kelley, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults and couples navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also have a special interest in supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and other seasons of change.

My goal is to help you feel understood while making meaningful, lasting changes in your life. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or simply ready for something to change, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and build practical tools to help you feel more confident, connected, and in control.

I’m Amanda, and I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I bring warmth, authenticity, and even a bit of humor into the room when it feels right. I want you to feel genuinely seen—not judged—and supported in whatever you’re working through.

I’ve been in the counseling field for over 15 years and hold a PhD in Counselor Education from the University of Tennessee. My experience ranges from private practice and telehealth to correctional mental health, hospitals, and leadership roles in community programs. A. Simms Resume copy

I work with adults experiencing mood challenges, anxiety, identity concerns, life transitions, and LGBTQIA+ experiences, as well as individuals who are justice-involved or adjusting to major life changes. My approach integrates CBT, ACT, and Reality Therapy, giving us room to explore both deeper patterns and practical skills.

Clients describe me as encouraging, steady, and real—someone who helps them feel grounded and capable while taking meaningful steps toward a more balanced and authentic life.
