About
Connection, validation, instruction, and processing are pivotal needs in any circumstance that life throws our way.
Krystal Shaffer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 13 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked with a variety of populations including, children and youth, geriatric, crisis management, substance use and general mental health. Krystal received her Masters in Social Work from East Tennessee State University. She participated in an intensive training in trauma focused CBT and DBT for her first two years as a therapist and this has shaped her therapeutic path.
Here are some words from Krystal herself:
I am a trauma informed cognitive behavioral therapist with a focus on using interventions for somatic recovery and cognitive reframing.
I treat the following disorders:
Trauma and stress related disorders such as CPTSD, PTSD, Adjustment, OCD, Social Phobia, General Anxiety, Stress Management
Mood disorders including Depression and Bipolar.
Crisis Care Management including Borderline Personality Disorder, Suicidality, self harm, and existential crisis
ADHD, grief, women's health, outpatient substance abuse disorder, insomnia (behavioral interventions), emotion regulation, and self esteem
I am NOT trained in couples or family counseling, eating disorders, autism or gender dysphoria
I operate out of the following modalities and theories: CBT, DBT, ERP, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Behavioral Interventions, client centered approach, Polyvagal theory, Trauma informed care (Cognitive Processing and Internal Family Systems).
I am also aware that not everyone is seeking OR in need of a specific intervention type of therapy. Sometimes we are looking for a place to be heard and a place to work through our own thoughts. I can provide a nonjudgmental atmosphere where we can work on identifying triggers for the current ailment, uncovering root cause, provide a validating listening environment, and refer to other professions to help with your individual healing journey. (psychiatry, psych NP, nutritionist, medical PCP, holistic health practitioners, case management or other community resources such as AA, NA, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters etc.)

Workaholism therapy helps those who have an unhealthy relationship with work. A person suffering from workaholism has an obsessive focus on their career, an inability to focus or even carry on a conversation about any other topic, and a willingness to sacrifice any other relationships or hobbies — Thriveworks therapists in Knoxville, TN will help them improve their habits and cope with the challenges that stem from their workaholism.
Workaholism therapy works by helping workaholics see how their addiction hurts themselves as well as their loved ones. Thriveworks therapists in Knoxville, TN can help create a new reality and lasting change. We can help workaholics understand how their long hours, lack of attention to loved ones, and obsessive need to achieve are detrimental to their overall happiness and health.
Workaholism therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of workaholism therapy depends on the individual’s needs as well as the extent and severity of their workaholism and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in the first weeks to months of therapy.
The American dream involves a lot of hard work and determination. In this country, we very highly value dedication to career and financial security. We are taught from a young age to do our best, get good grades, apply ourselves, and achieve our dreams. However, sometimes this dedication to career can become obsessive. It can take over the rest of our life and ruin relationships. It can cause families to be destroyed, marriages to end, and children to be emotionally neglected.
If you are suffering from workaholism, Thriveworks Knoxville can help you end this cycle. It is possible to create a new normal, salvage your relationships, and develop pursuits outside of work. Reach out today to schedule your appointment.
If you are the loved one of a workaholic, you may have spent many years suffering in silence. You eat dinner alone most nights, and when your spouse or partner is home, they barely look up from their phone or computer. Although your workaholic partner may receive a great deal of accolades at work, they are a far from attentive spouse.
Thriveworks Knoxville counselors can help not only the workaholic, but the relationship as well. We can help the workaholic understand how harmful their behavior is to not only themselves, but to their loved ones as well.
At Thriveworks Knoxville, we do not believe in waiting lists. Unlike many counseling offices, we have appointments available for new clients within the week of them reaching out. We also offer evening and weekend sessions, accept most major insurances, and provide additional benefits.
We understand that when you are ready to get help, the last thing you want to hear is that the first available appointment is in a few weeks. Thriveworks Knoxville counselors are standing by, ready to begin this journey of healing with you. Call us today.
