Brynn Yeager

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Knoxville, TN


I am excited to work with clients who feel ready for change, are curious about themselves, their relationships, and the ways in which their experiences have shaped them. I have collaborated with individuals across the lifespan and families across their development to find greater joy, acceptance, and meaning within themselves. My clients describe me as energetic, compassionate, patient and creative. I meet clients where they are and endeavor to walk with them through life's ups and downs. In my work I draw inspiration from Robyn Gobel, Pema Chödrön, and Dr. Raquel Martin.

I am honored to be exploring your healing journey with you. We live in a world where mental healthcare is stigmatized and self-care is a fix-all when what we really need is community care. Healing happens within the context of relationships. I hope to build therapeutic relationships with clients to help them flourish and meet their goals.

Barbara Schmitt

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with 14 years in the field, I help adults understand what's driving their emotional struggles, not just manage the symptoms. Together we look at how and when symptoms show up and trace the patterns, triggers, and core beliefs underneath them, which often go back to earlier experiences.

We slow things down and approach these moments with curiosity and compassion. That process builds self-awareness and opens the door to real change, healing, and resilience.
