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.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of the impact of trauma on wellbeing and how working through this, we can gain a greater capacity for empathy and empowerment.
Hi, I'm Ann Moore, LPC-MHSP. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Tennessee. I've been a mental health counselor for 6 years working with children, adolescents, families and adults. I've met clients in person and with Telehealth. My clients have wanted help with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, panic attacks, substance use addictions, traumatic memories, stress, adjustment to life changes, PTSD, eating disorders, grief, impulsivity, anger problems, and other issues. I've helped them grow, by collaborating with them on goals and objectives for addressing their specific needs.
I meet my clients where they are, by using a Person-Centered approach. We work together to find their unique strengths and needs. I use a variety of techniques to help clients gain insight into how they are feeling, thinking and reacting. This understanding helps them confidently navigate circumstances & interpersonal relationships and accept themselves.
Please know that you are not alone. Therapists like myself are eager to help, and come from a background that imparts empathy and understanding. Many symptoms can be reduced or resolved using research based techniques. Everyone, even counselors, benefit from being heard, learning and growing. Let me know if you're ready to take the next step together.

Emotional abuse counseling helps victims heal from abusive relationships. Examples of emotional abuse may include:
Emotional abuse counseling with our Thriveworks therapists in Knoxville gives people the safe space they need to identify and understand the harm they’ve experienced and move forward. Through therapy, many victims have rebuilt their self-esteem and self-worth; recognized that they did not cause the abuse, but their perpetrator is responsible for the choice to harm; identified their wounds and found the treatment they need; healed from trauma; re-established their personal safety; grieved their losses; formed new, loving relationships; and learned to trust their experiences and emotions.
Emotional abuse counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Emotional abuse counseling with one of our Thriveworks therapists in Knoxville, TN can last for a few weeks, months, or longer, depending on the individual’s exact needs and preferences.
Emotional abuse can manifest in many ways, though all forms of this abuse share certain things in common: it is all painful; it’s destructive and has a lasting effect on the victims. Emotional maltreatment is by far the most common form of abuse. Although an abuser will use various kinds of psychological warfare to torment their victim, there are some common actions that most use. Some of these will include:
This type of abuse is inexcusable and truly awful, but it is all too common nonetheless. If you can relate to any of the above, just know that it’s not normal or acceptable behavior. It is advisable for anyone going through any of the above to talk to someone. That someone should preferably be a trusted emotional abuse therapy counselor or therapist. If you think you could benefit from talking to a professional, Reach out to Thriveworks Knoxville today.
The way we think affects the way we feel and the way we feel affects the way we function as individuals. Thoughts and feelings affect life. People who suffer with emotional abuse are unable to think, feel or function in the same way as others do. They struggle. Psychological abuse can affect three main areas of everyday life, namely:
Abuse has a detrimental impact on all areas of living. Socialization skills often go first. This affects friendships and the way the abused one communicates with other people. Productively at home and in the workplace declines too. The longer the abuse goes on for, the more psychological damage there is.
If you are experiencing emotional disharmony in your life, please consider seeing a therapist. At our Knoxville emotional abuse therapy office, we have trained professionals in this area. Our therapists and counselors can help you to understand the root cause of your emotional abuse. After diagnosis, they will be in a position to offer you various options in support, along with some potential solutions to help get you on the road to recovery.
