Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Knoxville, TN

You might look like you have everything together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted from carrying so much for so long. When you’re used to being the strong one, it can be hard to slow down or ask for help. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can understand your emotions, reduce stress, and begin moving toward feeling more balanced, confident, and in control.

Hello and welcome! I'm Dr. Julie Vinci "Doc".

I believe that commitment to therapy reveals courage, vulnerability, and strength. I use an integrated collaborative approach to helping you navigate challenges in your life.

When life feels heavy, it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the version of yourself you want to be.

I help adults and couples navigate depression, anxiety, life stress, and major transitions while building confidence and clarity. I offer in-person sessions in Tennessee and telehealth for clients in both Tennessee and Alabama.

Please note that couples counseling is offered by private pay only at a rate of $140 per session.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (Mental Health Service Provider) based in Tennessee, with 10 years of professional experience. Mind Diagnostics+2Quick Counseling+2

I specialize in working with individuals navigating a wide range of life challenges, including: addictions; ADHD; bipolar disorder; depression; eating disorders; grief; trauma and abuse; relationship, intimacy, parenting, and family issues; self-esteem and confidence difficulties; major life changes; career stress; and more.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that are hard to break—whether it’s addiction, codependency, or depression? You may feel overwhelmed, drained, or constantly putting others first while losing yourself in the process. I work with teens and adults across Tennessee who are navigating addiction, relationship patterns, and depression. Together, we create a supportive space where you can understand what’s driving these patterns and begin building a healthier, more balanced life.
