Graham Lovelady, NCC
I specialize in trauma and couples therapy for adults in Chattanooga and via telehealth across Tennessee. Many people I work with carry the effects of complex trauma, childhood wounds, anxiety, depression, and spiritual crisis. I draw on principles from the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), a trauma-informed therapeutic approach that focuses on healing developmental trauma through an understanding of attachment, somatic awareness, and the relational process. I work with individuals and couples who want more than symptom management and are ready for the deeper work of transformation.
My role is not to "fix" you, because you are not an object to be fixed. Instead, I help my clients explore relational wounds, early attachment patterns, and the effects of shame that keep us stuck. You'll grow into greater self-awareness, agency, and ability to live from love and connection instead of shame and pressure.
As a depth oriented therapist, I am focused on supporting you in your journey of transformation. If you're looking to explore family dynamics, attachment wounds, your childhood, or the ongoing impact of trauma on your life: I would love to support and connect with you.
“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.’”
