Sarah Dowdy, LCSW

Psychotherapist
TN
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported from the very beginning. I believe healing happens through genuine connection, compassion, and evidence-based care. I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma, PTSD, complex trauma (CPTSD), anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, and women's issues. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I help clients process difficult experiences, reduce emotional distress, and develop healthier ways of coping. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help clients build resilience, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to better understand yourself, therapy can be a place to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence. It would be an honor to support you on that journey.
