Lauren Young
Hello- My name is Lauren Young I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in the state of Tennessee. I started my practice in a community mental health agency in the state of Tennessee gaining perspective and understanding of how poverty, addiction, trauma, and other stressors, can truly impact an individual and also impact a family dynamic. I have worked with families and individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, abuse/neglect, parenting difficulties, stress, loss, and the frustrations of life. I also have over 9 years of experience working with young adults and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. I have a passion for women who are newly engaged or new parents. The highs and lows of these seasons can have major stressors and I love to help others navigate that in ways that allow them to thrive. I would describe my approach as empathetic, warm, goal oriented, and client centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Solution focused therapy to help my clients set goals and objectives, work through their stressors, and feel empowered once they have met their goals. I am also a Christian who is opened to discussing spirituality throughout sessions. I earned my Bachelors Degree at East Tennessee State University in Psychology and then went on to earn my Masters Degree from Milligan College. I have been married for 7 years. Both my husband and I work so navigating work and family life is always a task I can truly relate to. I look forward to talking with you.

"You don't get to rewrite your past, but YOU get to decide how your story ends!" My counseling philosophy is the belief that individuals have power, choice, voice. I have five years counseling experience with individuals with addiction issues, unresolved trauma, and grief and loss. I aim to assist individuals in reconnecting with his or her power of choice and voice, as well as, guiding one toward healing through development of healthy coping skills and peer support. My counseling style is non-judgmental, warm, respectful, and compassionate. My approach to counseling combines Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. No one individual is the same - treatment plans and dialogue will reflect the specific needs of each individual. Taking the step toward healing can be a daunting task, but I hope to encourage you and help you find peace, happiness, and well-being while on this journey. I look forward to working with you!

Kelly Sheets
I am a licensed professional counselor and mental health service provider (LPC-MHSP) in TN. I have over 5+ years of experience in treating PTSD, specifically combat-related; substance use disorder; borderline personality disorder in men primarily; OCD; and other issues typically found in a mental health setting. I've spent the majority of my career working in a residential alcohol and drug program, which afforded me the opportunity to work with co-morbid disorders/issues that feed into addiction. I have assisted people in confronting personality issues, trauma, and have helped clients learn to balance their intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. I am also actively involved in research in a university setting. I received a Bachelors of Science in Clinical Psychology and a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from East Tennessee State University. My therapy style is highly conversational and casual with a primary foundation in Existential therapy. I utilize other modalities as needed or as is appropriate to the individual and situation. I have a background in social psychology, which I find beneficial during therapy as the principles are often at the core of many behaviors and attitudes/beliefs. Understanding social psychological theories and how they present within individuals serves to normalize our human experiences by showing that we are not alone. I believe that every individual knows the best way to live their lives, but sometimes may need someone to provide insight, guidance, or serve as a sounding board for thought processes/emotions/fears. I have a specific interest and a research background in PTSD surrounding combat. Seeking help in general, but especially following a traumatic event, is courageous. The first step is reaching out and I am here to assist you in this experience.

Andrew "Drew" Follett
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Tennessee with over 15 years of experience working in clinical practice. I’ve worked in various settings including community health clinics, children’s advocacy centers, non-profit counseling centers, and addiction and recovery centers. I’ve worked with a wide variety of ages and those who have experienced a wide range of symptoms and concerns including; depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, stages of life changes, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, addiction and recovery. I have also worked with many individuals who’ve suffered from traumatic events, abuse, and neglect. I feel that my therapeutic approach is much more of a guiding force than giving my clients specific directives. Ever heard the saying, “You can lead a horse to water…” Well my approach to therapy is very much the same. I don’t give you the answers or tell you what to do. Instead, my sessions are much more about question-answers in order to help you figure out the problem, and guide you to the right path toward healing and growth. No one knows you better than you, so who am I to come in and tell you what to do? However, sometimes we are so distracted with clutter, pain, and hurt that we are unable to see the problem, let alone find a path through the suffering to healing and growth. That’s where I come in. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and do not believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I look forward to working with you!
