Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Sparta, TN

I hold over five years of experience in mental health and have seen a wide range of ages, diagnoses, cultures, and levels of willingness to change their life circumstances. I provide my clients with the freedom to be who they are and to take off their masks. I have seen and heard almost everything and invite people to be their honest selves with me.

If you are looking to develop a greater understanding of yourself, a situation, or are looking for tools to better navigate life, we may be a fit.

Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and build the tools you need to create meaningful, lasting change.

I work with those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, grief, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your past, struggling to cope with the present, or trying to build the future you want, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.

Are you feeling stuck in your compulsions and overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts? Welcome! You have found a safe place to explore, grow, and heal. I am passionate about working with those experiencing OCD, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma-Related distress and dysfunction. I work to create meaningful and sustainable change both inside and outside of the therapy office. Walking alongside clients as they discover their own resiliency and “why” for embracing discomfort in a safe and supportive environment is my goal. I am affirming of all LGBTQIA+ folks and am passionate about providing care to our community!

I became an LCSW after starting my career as a community-based social worker, supporting individuals and families navigating complex, real-life challenges. That work taught me the value of showing up with presence, respect, and a deep understanding of the systems that impact people’s lives.

My path to becoming a therapist was also shaped by my own experiences with healing and growth. I know what it’s like to do the inner work—to sit with discomfort, learn new tools, and slowly build something stronger from within. That personal insight informs how I show up in the therapy room: with empathy, curiosity, and compassion.

Motherhood has further deepened my approach. It’s taught me about vulnerability, patience, and the ongoing process of becoming—qualities I carry into my work with clients. I believe healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens in safe, supportive relationships, and I’m honored to offer that space to others.

I have over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. I specialize in supporting individuals of all ages who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and burnout.

I have a particular passion for working with caregivers, high-achieving professionals, and women who carry the emotional weight of others. My care blends evidence-based psychiatric treatment with holistic approaches to help clients achieve balance in mind, body, and spirit.

Hi, I'm Dr. Amanda Harrell, a licensed clinical psychologist (Psy.D.). Since 2006, it's been a true privilege to walk alongside people in their healing and growth, and I'd be honored to do the same with you. Whatever brought you here — anxiety, depression, the heavy pull of shame or guilt, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or simply navigating a genuinely tough season — my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and truly supported as you move toward the life you want.

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have spent nearly two decades helping clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Whether you're facing loss, a major transition, or just feeling overwhelmed, you don't have to do it alone — we'll find a path forward together.
