My name is Lacey Jackson, LCSW. I have been in private practice for 5+ years. My priority is to connect with clients while creating a trusting and comfortable environment.
If you feel like you don't quite recognize yourself anymore, mood swings that come out of nowhere, anxiety that wasn't there before, old wounds resurfacing you thought you'd already dealt with, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone in it. I work with women navigating the hormonal and identity shifts of midlife, including perimenopause and menopause, helping you understand what's happening beneath the surface so we can do more than just manage symptoms, and actually get to what's underneath them. I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with a master's in clinical mental health counseling and training in EMDR, DBT, CBT, EFT, and Motivational Interviewing. I bring experience from private practice, clinical roles in group practice, and residential treatment work for substance abuse."
Hi, I’m Paige! I’ve been a therapist for almost 10 years now and it’s my greatest passion. I have my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Social Work as well as two licenses to practice, the highest licensure being my Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have extensive experience working with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Autism, and ADHD. I welcome you to come partner with me!
It is my joy in life to help my clients re-discover their true self. We do this together by challenging old paradigms that get us stuck. As we uncover the true self, I will also help you develop new skills for coping as you move from surviving to thriving. I am a Master's level Professional Counselor, comprehensively trained in DBT, IFS, and NARM.
Great to meet you. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying emotional pain, relationship challenges, or life circumstances that have left you feeling stuck or disconnected. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, family conflict, trauma, grief and loss, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I understand that every person's story is different, and I believe healing begins by creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions, navigating changes within your family, coping with loss, or trying to better understand yourself, therapy can provide an opportunity to gain insight, build healthier coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My goal is to help you move toward greater balance, emotional wellness, and a more fulfilling life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Knoxville
Searching for therapists in Knoxville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience matches that need. Knoxville therapists may support people with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience align with what you want to address. Provider profiles can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a mid-size city like Knoxville, your best fit may be near neighborhoods such as Bearden, Fort Sanders, Old City, or available by virtual appointment from elsewhere in Tennessee. Some people prefer an office close to home, work, or school, while others choose virtual therapy for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each bio can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Knoxville may be more affordable with insurance, and costs can vary based on your provider, location, and coverage. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find Knoxville therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show available appointment times, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you are ready.
