Therapy Services at Knoxville Behavioral & Mental Health

If you are new to therapy, you may have many images and ideas that come to mind, making it difficult to make the initial call. Whether you have previous experience with therapy or are searching for a new approach to mental health therapy, finding a therapist with whom you connect is essential. At Knoxville Behavioral & Mental Health Services, we are here to address any questions or concerns you might have prior to your appointment through email or phone consultation.

For effective healing through behavioral therapy, we believe that the connection between you and your therapist must be a good fit. We encourage open and continuous dialogues about our therapeutic relationship. Please check our "About Us" section to learn more about our dedicated staff.

Once you request an appointment, we will contact you to set up an initial meeting. During this first visit, we will gather background information to discuss the various therapeutic approaches available within our area of practice. This includes an overview of the evidence-based treatments we offer, the expected duration of therapy, and potential referrals to specialists and agencies that focus on particular areas. At the end of the initial appointment, we will collaboratively determine if we are a good fit based on personality styles, treatment options, and fees. Our goal is for you to derive maximum benefit from our work together.
