Graham Lovelady, NCC
I provide individual therapy and couples counseling in Chattanooga, TN, helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. With individuals, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you reconnect with your values and build a life that feels meaningful. With couples, I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): an attachment-based, evidence-backed approach to repairing ruptures and deepening connection. My goal is to help you understand what keeps you stuck and what shifts can open new possibilities.
Faith, identity, and meaning are often at the root of what brings people to therapy. My work draws from EFT and ACT, trauma-informed, attachment-based models to help individuals and couples facing anxiety, depression, relationship distress, and spiritual questions find emotional depth and practical tools for change.
Many clients find that questions of meaning, belief, and spiritual identity don't fit neatly into traditional therapy, yet these are often central to the struggles that bring people in. I possess a Certificate in Spiritual Formation in Counseling from Richmont Graduate University specializing in this work. If you're looking for a space where that dimension of your experience is taken seriously and worked with clinically, I'd welcome the chance to connect.
“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, ‘Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it’s like to be me.’”
