Dunlap, Tennessee was once home to the Cherokee Indians. Pioneers soon settled the land and discovered the value of the many area coal mines. Today, the Coke Ovens Museum has a place on the National Register of Historic Places. The panoramic scenery of Dunlap takes your breath away. Despite Dunlap’s natural beauty, having a downcast outlook on life can leave you feeling anxious and hopeless.

It’s not too late to improve your mood to be able to appreciate the antiquated feel of Dunlap and the surrounding area. All you need to do is match up with a Dunlap area mental health counselor and get settled on your way to wellness.

Hello! My name is Alexander Haney and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist and training in evidence-based practices. I primarily use Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure Response Prevention which focus on the unique needs of the individual. During my 5 years of experience, I have specialized experience in several areas including depression, OCD/anxiety, stress, and couples counseling. I enjoy working with individuals who are new to the therapy process and who are willing to work toward goals. Please consider, this process is NOT a one-off session - it is a course of treatment whereby you need to be committed to change and healing towards a happy more grounded and integrated future. Therapy is something you engage in, not something you receive and while like most things in life that are incredibly difficult to do, they tend to be the most fulfilling. My hope is that by the time you have gone through this process, you will have a really clear understanding of exactly who you are, what your struggles are, what you need and what you want while becoming empowered to go out and build a brilliant life worth living. Whilst integrated therapy works far quicker than long term analysis or counselling, I can offer both long-term and short-term therapy depending on your preferences and needs. Some clients like to continue therapy for a long time to continue investing in themselves and their own personal development. Whereas others work on their current issues for a time, then drop down to less frequent sessions, or simply return as and when needed. I consider what I do to be a tremendous honor and privilege to be apart of your journey forward, wherever that may be. Talk with you shortly! Alex

I rely heavily on interventions based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

Most people describe me as calm, relaxed, approachable, and when appropriate, good for a laugh:) It’s important that my clients know that I will be respectful of their lives and experiences and have a strict “no judging” policy. When working with me, you will be respected, supported, encouraged, and challenged. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you to achieve your goals. - Kim
