You don't have to be afraid of your brain.
I help empathetic overthinkers find calm in the chaos of anxiety, grief, and life changes.
Hi there. I’m Karen Chambless, a licensed mental health therapist practicing in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
You may love being an overachieving problem-solver, but your mental health isn’t a problem you have to solve on your own.
You want to feel like you understand your own mind.
You want to feel calm even in the midst of change and loss.
You wish you could feel clear and confident about who you are and where you are going, and you want to be able to care for your people and do your work in a way that feels authentic and energizing and sustainable.
I provide a safe and supportive space to say the angry things, the scary things, the weird or dark things - a space to be honest with unfiltered thoughts.
A space to make connections, to explore and process experiences, to move forward into a more meaningful life.
How I can help
Meeting every 1-2 weeks consistently for 45-50 minutes, working on a flexible list of goals. This is “traditional” talk therapy.
Individual Recurring Therapy
Deep Work Intensives
Meeting once or twice per month (or less), for 90 min to 3 hours at a time, to experience deep processing and accelerated progress.

I will do everything I can to make our therapeutic relationship feel like a home, where you can be seen and understood and appreciated in all your complexity.
You are the expert on your own life.
