John uses several different evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Using a client-centered approach, the focus is to identify and implement techniques to help clients manage their needs and goals.
John completed his Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences at the University of Memphis ('09). Then, he completed his Master of Social Work, also at the University of Memphis, in 2015.

Breakup therapy from our Thriveworks Knoxville therapists helps people process the loss that comes with a breakup. In addition, it can help them to better understand what was wrong as well as what was right in their relationship so that they’re able to move forward.
Breakup therapy works by offering a safe space for people to explore the pain and changes that can accompany a breakup. It also works by equipping individuals with healthy coping mechanisms such as self-reflection and relaxation techniques to replace harmful (or maladaptive) coping mechanisms.
Breakup therapy from the therapists at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The amount of breakup therapy sessions will vary from one person to the next, depending on their specific needs. However, it typically lasts for several weeks or months.
It is usually not a good experience to break up from one’s lover, partner or spouse. A lot of emotions are involved in the process: Some people could be very sad, disappointed or betrayed. But life must go on. You must find a way to embrace a peaceful, new life.
Sometimes, that involves working with a mental health professional to heal and move forward. Thriveworks Knoxville has breakup counselors here and available to help. Reach out today to get started.
