Throughout my career as a psychologist, I have been asked countless times by friends, colleagues, and acquaintances about therapy options in and around the Tri-Cities, Tennessee region. While there are several practicing providers in the region, many of them are working for larger organizations and are not operating privately and/or accepting referrals for new patients. Over the past several years, the need for therapy services has grown exponentially due to a number of stressors that are impossible to count. With growing waitlists to see a provider across the region, it has highlighted the need for more individual therapy services in the area to be offered to the public. That is a driving force for why I feel this service is a necessity in our region.
In addition, therapy is a process that deserves investment by the provider. The ability to connect with another human being is a critical part of the therapeutic relationship. I strongly believe that making such connections are very important. At Appalachian Integrative Psychology, the hope is that you’ll be able to connect to your provider in the most beneficial way possible.
