Dunlap, Tennessee was once home to the Cherokee Indians. Pioneers soon settled the land and discovered the value of the many area coal mines. Today, the Coke Ovens Museum has a place on the National Register of Historic Places. The panoramic scenery of Dunlap takes your breath away. Despite Dunlap’s natural beauty, having a downcast outlook on life can leave you feeling anxious and hopeless.

It’s not too late to improve your mood to be able to appreciate the antiquated feel of Dunlap and the surrounding area. All you need to do is match up with a Dunlap area mental health counselor and get settled on your way to wellness.

Hi! My name is Austin and I practice predominantly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I graduated from the University of Tennessee (Knoxville) in 2005 with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. I earned my Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Austin Peay State University in 2010 and received my license as a professional counselor this past February (2021). Between my Master's and licensure, I worked full time and pursued a couple of other educational ventures. I have history working with the Department of Children's Services, doing pretty extensive case management in the mental health field, working with families and children intensively in their homes, and providing individual and group counseling to people recovering from addiction. I'm a straightforward person and very casual. I see people as individual people just like me who have their own unique stressors and life complications. No two situations are the same, therefore cookie cutter counseling is generally not the most effective approach, in my opinion. I look forward to helping you navigate the obstacle course of life!
