Dr. Courtney Cook

Dr. Courtney Cook

Psychologist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi and welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Tennessee, New York, and PSYPact states. I have extensive experience working with a variety of presenting issues, but am passionate about working with individuals on how they show up in relationships, particularly when that feels difficult, confusing, or overwhelming. This might look like noticing unhelpful patterns in your relationships but struggling to change it. Perhaps you have a hard time speaking up or setting boundaries, or become easily irritated with others and later feeling upset with yourself. If this is you, we would likely be a strong fit!

I specialize in working with parents, law enforcement and military professionals, and trans/GNC populations.

I am currently providing virtual sessions only.

Please note I am no longer accepting couples therapy clients.

Amanda Harrell

Amanda Harrell

Psychologist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I'm Dr. Amanda Harrell, a licensed clinical psychologist (Psy.D.). Since 2006, it's been a true privilege to walk alongside people in their healing and growth, and I'd be honored to do the same with you. Whatever brought you here — anxiety, depression, the heavy pull of shame or guilt, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or simply navigating a genuinely tough season — my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and truly supported as you move toward the life you want.

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have spent nearly two decades helping clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Whether you're facing loss, a major transition, or just feeling overwhelmed, you don't have to do it alone — we'll find a path forward together.
