Becki Livingston

Hey there! I am so glad you found me! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Knoxville, TN providing individual mental health therapy for adults (18-65), LGBTQ+ affirming. I specialize in the experience of grief, loss, & trauma. Often times, we recognize increases in depression, anxiety, stress, difficulty adjusting to new circumstances, and relationship changes that can impact self-esteem and our sense of belonging. That may be what gets our attention, but what lies behind the feelings requires focus. I want to keep you company on your journey back to yourself.

I approach therapy from the empowering perspective that we are not in control of what happens to us or around us, but we are responsible for the consequences of how we choose to allow these things to affect us and how we choose to respond. By making different choices, we can feel differently. In any given situation, we are doing the best we can with what we have, and, through therapy, we can build better ways to actively engage in life, instead of merely existing.

I believe that although we have a unique combination of experiences, we share limited human emotions that bond us to one another, which can lead to a path toward healing by developing understanding. I see my role as a companion on that healing path, so that you no longer have to navigate that alone.
