Therapy in Knoxville Designed to Cultivate Resilience and Create Lasting Change
Hi, I’m Sarah Bruck. I’m a licensed clinical social worker offering therapy in Knoxville, Tennessee. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, and work toward meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in evidence-based, person-centered practices. I specialize in working with teens and adults (ages 14 and up) who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and low self-worth.
Together, we’ll focus on building emotional awareness, setting healthy boundaries, and helping you reconnect with your values so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Psychotherapy & Counseling in Knoxville, Tennessee
Why Therapy?
Therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences—especially the ones that feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck. It can help you recognize patterns in your relationships, manage anxiety or depression, heal from past trauma, and develop healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.
The Process
Through the therapy process, you can gain clarity, build self-compassion, and make choices that align with your values. Whether you’re facing a specific struggle or simply seeking personal growth, therapy offers the connection and tools needed to support real, lasting change.
Finding the Right Fit
Finding the right therapist can feel intimidating—and that’s completely normal. If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, I encourage you to reach out and ask questions. I’m here to offer guidance, share information, and create a space that honors your individual needs. My goal is to help you feel empowered, more self-aware, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life with greater resilience and ease.
Therapy Offerings
Individual Therapy
A collaborative process between a therapist and a client to address personal challenges, emotional distress, or mental health issues. In this one-on-one setting, the client has the opportunity to explore thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and patterns in a safe, confidential, and supportive environment.
EMDR
EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess painful memories and reduce their emotional impact.
College Students & Life Transitions
The college years can be an exciting time of growth—but they can also bring stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. From academic pressure and identity exploration to relationship challenges and career decisions, many students find themselves navigating significant life changes for the first time.
Sessions In-Person or Via Telehealth
Therapy Sessions Available In-Person and via Telehealth Across Tennessee
As a licensed therapist based in Tennessee, I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to provide flexible, accessible care that meets your needs and comfort level- whether you’re sitting across from me in the office or connecting from the privacy of your own home
In-Person Therapy
If you’re located near Knoxville, TN, I offer in-person sessions in a quiet, confidential office setting. These face-to-face appointments allow us to build a strong therapeutic relationship as we work together on challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship concerns.
