Therapists in Tennessee

Hi, my name is Kristina Kerr. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from Butler University and my Master's in Counseling from Trevecca University. I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor in TN and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in KY. I am also a Masters Addictions Counselor and a Clinically Certified Trauma Professional so I am very comfortable working with clients who have issues related to addiction and trauma or both. I have worked in the mental health field with a wide variety of clients and populations for the past 20 years. I enjoy providing individual counseling to people dealing with a wide variety of diagnoses from the DSM-5 such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Substance Use Disorders, etc. as well as issues particular to the individual such as low self esteem, anger management, stress management/reduction, relationship issues, parenting struggles, and other issues that may come up during the therapeutic process. I view all my clients through the lens of the person centered concept of unconditional positive regard. This means I show unconditional positive acceptance and regard towards all my clients in the therapeutic process. I strive to provide a safe space for the individual to work through the issues they may be struggling with or symptoms they would like to get a better handle on related to a DSM diagnosis without judgement or fear of condemnation. I like to establish a therapeutic rapport by meeting the client wherever they are at and building a mutual relationship based on trust, openness, and respect. I utilize a variety of therapeutic evidence based concepts such as CBT, DBT (which I am certified in), Motivational Interviewing, Stages of Change, Solution Focused Therapy, Trauma Therapy, and general coping skills to address specific symptoms or issues that you may be struggling with. I use whatever concept(s) the client is comfortable with or feels works best for them. This includes incorporating different principles or concepts from the evidence based techniques listed above to fit the particular issues you may be struggling with at different points in the therapeutic process. Due to this, I feel I use more of an intergraded approach when it comes to doing therapy because my goal is to use the techniques or concepts that work best for the client to heal and grow as a person and achieve the outcome they want from engaging in therapy. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to help you reach the goals you would like to in therapy!

I began my career as a Child & Youth Advocate with my local domestic violence agency after earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology/Social Work from Bethel College in 2004. This position inspired me to continue my education and I obtained my Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Tennessee Technology University in 2007. After working in community mental health for several years, I became a Licensed Professional Counselor with the Mental Health Service Provider designation in 2011. I have provided mental health series in a variety of settings including schools, community mental health centers, residential treatment, private practice, and intensive outpatient treatment. My experience includes depression, anxiety, change of life, trauma recovery, and addiction recovery. I view wellness and recovery work from a holistic perspective and believe that the multiple facets of a person’s story are important to be addressed in successful treatment. I do not believe that treatment can be cookie cutter and each client's experiences shape our treatment journey together.

Hi, I’m Stacy Park. I’m a licensed therapist working in Knoxville, TN.

I approach the therapy relationship with positivity, transparency and at times humor.
