About
As one who has experienced trauma and grief, I bring to the counseling approach of compassion and experience how one's world can be negatively impacted. I believe in empowering men and women to become the best version of their normal while instilling pride and resilience that they can overcome obstacles in their life.
Welcome to your new beginning! My name is Danielle Akins and I am a LPC and MHSP. I work with children of all ages, young adults, and seniors. I specialize in autism, play therapy, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and abuse (sexual and physical). I also specialize in sexual addiction and family counseling
I believe in the Holistic approach where each individual has their own specific needs and qualities. I use various approaches depending on each individual's circumstances and issues. I incorporate CBT, DBT, ACT, trauma-focused, solution-focused, and play therapy into my sessions.
I look forward to working with you as a a member of the team where we together will work towards a collective pathway for mental healing. I encourage you to make this first step by scheduling an appointment so we can start this new journey together.

Bipolar disorder therapy from our providers at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN is an effective form of mental health treatment for those with bipolar disorder. It helps one to better navigate their unique experience, which might come with hypomanic, manic, or depressive episodes.
Bipolar disorder therapy works to help you manage your specific symptoms as well as improve your relationships. It can also help you cope with stress, a major contributor to the disorder.
Our bipolar disorder therapy services are conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you when working with one of providers at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN.
The length of bipolar disorder therapy sessions will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. However, short-term, problem-focused therapy for bipolar disorder typically lasts for 12-16 weeks. Therapy may last longer for those who have more severe or persistent symptoms.
If you are experiencing the dramatic shift from mania to depression and back again, then you may be like one of six million people in the United States who have a form of Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar is a difficult diagnosis to hear, but many people are able to live happy, productive lives. They are managing their Bipolar because they are working with a mental health professional to receive a diagnosis, education, and a treatment plan.
Thriveworks Knoxville understands the strain and challenges Bipolar Disorder adds to an individual’s life, but we also understand how to overcome these. Our staff has worked with many clients who want to live their lives without Bipolar dictating the terms. Reach out today for help.
The two (bi) poles of bipolar are called mania and depression. In fact, many people refer to Bipolar Disorder as manic depression. This mental illness cycles people between mania and depression in an oft-confusing and erratic way. It is a serious diagnosis, and anyone who is affected by Bipolar Disorder deserves patience, care, and empathy for what they are fighting. Often, an important part of that care is coming to a detailed understanding of what Bipolar is and how it works. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) has outlined both cycles of Bipolar Disorder in detail.
When individuals cycle through the depression phase, they will experience feelings of sadness, emptiness, and/or weepiness that continue for the majority of the day, for a period of two weeks. Their interest in regular activities and daily life will wane, and they will also experience at least three of these symptoms:
People who are diagnosed with any form of Bipolar will also experience episodes of mania. The stereotype of this phase is energy and happiness all the time. This cliché greatly undermines the difficulty that people who experience mania face. Further, mania can also be frenetic irritability instead of happiness. The DSM-5 details mania further:
There are a variety of subcategories that may come with any Bipolar Disorder diagnosis. For example, different versions of the illness may have more severe forms of depression or mania. Working with a therapist who is experienced with Bipolar in its many different forms is often the key to finding the right diagnosis and then the right treatment.
As you read through the symptoms of mania and depression, did any descriptions resonate with your experience? If you or someone you love has Bipolar Disorder, know that Thriveworks Knoxville has skilled and experienced therapists who have helped many patients find the diagnosis and treatment they need.
When you work with our office, know that weekend and evening appointments are available. We accept most forms of insurance, and many new clients have their first appointment within the same week of their first call to us.
Our hope is that every Thriveworks client receives the help they need when they need it.
