I am passionate about helping clients find their voice to put words to their unique experiences. I approach each session with compassionate curiosity to provide you with a safe space to show up as your most authentic self. I hope that you feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted. I am enthusiastic about seeing my clients move towards health and healing. I consider it an honor and a privilege to support you throughout our work together.
Clients should know that I believe therapy works best when it is built on trust, honesty, and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported while we work together toward meaningful change. As a counselor and Navy veteran, I value integrity, perseverance, and service to others. I also respect the role that personal values and faith can play in someone’s life and am comfortable incorporating those perspectives into counseling when it is important to the client.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? When "Life is Lifing" as we say?? Many of the people that I meet and work with are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and/or management of traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I'm also a Mom of three and a dog Mom of two who likes to practice what I preach in my own life. As a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection, a lot of my focus is incorporating integrated health into our treatment approach. I also support an intimate hospice team in my area so I am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations about life. If you are interesting in giving therapy a shot, or just learning a bit more about my approach, feel free to reach out and we'll see where it takes us.
Choosing the right provider is an important step in your healing, and I strive to make that decision feel safe, supportive, and empowering. I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who brings both professional expertise and personal understanding of mental health challenges into my work. I care deeply about creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. I work with adolescents and adults ages 15 and older, helping individuals navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and feeling stuck. I offer both in-person services near Knoxville and telehealth across Tennessee to make quality care more accessible.
This is a telehealth practice. As a personal choice, the use of narcotics or other controlled (DEA) meds are minimal, if any. I've been a psych nurse practitioner for at least 14yrs. I believe in managing conditions with psychiatric and non-psychiatric treatment modalities that are evidence based. The use of the least amount of meds, at lower doses that does the healing of symptoms, is an active process involving the client and based on the reported experiences. Safety is the core of my practice and my job is to help clients understand internal signals and how to prevent another crisis.
Howdy, and welcome! My name is Alicia, and I'm a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee. I work with folks who might be dealing with the effects of trauma, anxiety, or depression.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cookeville, TN
Searching for therapists in Cookeville starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare a Cookeville therapist, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and the kinds of concerns they work with most often. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Cookeville, local in-person openings may be more limited than in larger Tennessee markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Tennessee. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their communication style seems like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what sessions may be like and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Therapy in Cookeville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs and offer in-person or virtual care, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage for specific providers.
