Elizabeth Black Counseling
Supporting those who give, grow, and seek deeper understanding of themselves.
Welcome!
I’m Elizabeth Black, a pre-licensed therapist based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I’m passionate about helping people discover who they are at their core.
My path into therapy was shaped by witnessing how often caregivers, helpers, and deep thinkers neglect their own needs in service to others. I believe everyone deserves space to pause, breathe, and rebuild a life that feels authentic and sustainable.
My style is warm, reflective, and collaborative. I see therapy as a partnership, one built on curiosity, respect, and compassion. I bring both structure and spaciousness, helping you feel grounded while exploring the deeper layers of your story.
I’m trauma-informed and person-centered, with experience supporting clients through issues such as stress, burnout, addiction recovery, religious trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions.
I am an affiliate at Rain Counseling and work under the supervision of Corinne Webster, Ph.D., LPC/MHSP/S. Additionally, I am supervised by Joshua Zello, LPC/MHSP/S.
Who I Work With
Caregivers and Helping Professionals
Offering a place to rest, process, and reconnect with your own needs and identity; I help teachers, nurses, and parents manage burnout, compassion fatigue, and the emotional toll of caring for others.
Trauma and PTSD
Healing from trauma isn’t about erasing the past, but about reclaiming safety, connection, and meaning in the present. My approach is gentle, grounding, and tailored to each client’s readiness and pace. I work with clients who have experienced trauma—whether from past relationships, childhood experiences, loss, or sudden life events.
Children, Teens, and Adults
Working with clients ages 9 and up, I support them through the many stages and challenges of life. Whether clients are navigating school pressures, identity questions, career shifts, or the complexities of adulthood, therapy offers a space to grow with curiosity and compassion.
Mind + Money Connection
Our relationship with money is emotional and deeply tied to self-worth and security. I work with clients to understand their money stories, reduce shame, and create a healthier, more balanced financial mindset. Clients will build a financial philosophy that is unique to them.
I also specialize in
Stress and anxiety
Depression
Burnout and compassion fatigue
Addiction and recovery support
Self-worth
Grief, loss, and meaning-making
We will work to explore questions of purpose, identity, and meaning as part of the healing process. I combine this with a person-centered and trauma-informed approach, creating a compassionate and grounding space where you can feel truly seen.
Rather than focusing solely on “fixing” symptoms, we explore what it means to live with authenticity and self-trust, even in uncertainty. We’ll move at your pace, uncovering patterns, beliefs, and emotions that shape how you experience the world.
Healing doesn’t have to be harsh. It can be gentle, reflective, and deeply transformative.
