Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Johnson City, TN

I am so happy you are here and I hope to be your partner in your journey towards your well-being! My goal is to support you in discovering your strengths, weaknesses, and developing a plan towards your long- term success.

Hi, I’m Ashton, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for those seeking clarity, relief, and a sense of steadiness in their lives.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I work with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and life transitions. I utilize play therapy with children, solution-focused techniques, supportive therapy, family systems, and other techniques that match the client I am working with.

One thing I want my clients to know is that I have a deep passion for helping individuals who feel like they’ve run out of options with psychiatric medications. If you’ve experienced past medication failures, please know you aren’t a lost cause. Together, we will partner to find a personalized, thoughtful combination of treatments that genuinely works for your unique life

I am dedicated to providing an inviting and purposeful service for each client. I have been practicing therapy for 5 years. I have a background in using CBT, DBT techniques, solution focused practices.

I’m Remington Vandergriff, LCSW, BCD, CCTP, a medically retired U.S. Army Major, owner of Bonafide Therapeutic Alliance, a virtual-only practice serving clients across TN. With 12+ years of experience, I specialize in men’s mental health, Veteran issues, & LCSW supervision.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. I do not provide couples or family therapy.

That said, I believe that true healing comes from a strong therapeutic alliance, not just the treatment model or credentials. My clients often describe feeling at ease, heard, and genuinely understood, which forms the foundation for meaningful change.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and even taking that first step of calling a therapist can seem insurmountable. The stigma of seeking care can be difficult to ignore. Feel free to send a text or email if a call isn't in the cards right now. I've been in that dark cave, and I know the way out, I hope you'll reach out so I can be of aid.
