Aubrey Vick, LMFT
I have my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
I have a passion for working with women throughout pregnancy, the motherhood transition and adoption. There is immense pressure on mothers in our culture today- causing them to feel isolated with more anxiety, stress and feelings of never being “enough”. It is common for the issues mothers face to be overlooked and with the maternal suicide rate steadily climbing there is a blatant lack of care that needs to be addressed. As a mother of three I have insight into many of the unique challenges we are faced with and I know the importance of prioritizing our mental well being so we can juggle the many roles we assume on a daily basis.
I currently hold my P-MHC Perinatal Mental Health Care certificate.
I have experience working with a variety of people and I would love to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call to see if I can help you meet your therapy goals!

Kim M Donovan, MSW, LCSW
I have recently moved to the area and have joined Maryville Wellness as an individual and family therapist, licensed in the State of Tennessee.
I have gained much of my therapy experience after working with fostering and/or adoptive families in Illinois, helping families strengthen and preserve their relationships that oftentimes become “stuck” or distant. My primary focus was to address underlying trauma/trust issues that interfere with healthy relationships with parents and others. I often used Theraplay when working with children/ families and developed support groups for parents and adolescents. I especially enjoyed working with adolescents around adoption issues.
Prior to leaving Illinois, I worked in a semi-private practice setting, addressing depression and anxiety, parent-child difficulties, adult relationship issues, regulation and behavioral difficulties in children. I have been fortunate to have attended many excellent trainings which have expanded my counseling skills over the years. Theraplay I & II (Theraplay Institute, Evanston, Illinois) and DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) with Daniel Hughes, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (Karyn Purvis and David Cross) and multiple seminars with Bruce Perry, PhD. (Neuroscience.) In addition, I had a clientele ranging in age from 6 and up, with particular experience working with anxious and depressed individuals. Initiating adoption support groups for families and adolescents as well as groups for anxious teens will be a service I look forward to offering clients.

Empowering people to live their best life is what I enjoy doing. I am a black female licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) and helping people navigate this thing called life is my passion.

As a therapist, I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings with a focus on domestic violence, childhood trauma, substance abuse, and other mental health disorders. Currently, I am also a Ph.D. student.
I operate from a person-centered approach because I believe each person is an expert in their own life. I use a variety of modalities which include CBT, DBT, and solution-focused brief therapy.

Sharon Van Ormer, RN, BSN, HNB-BC, LMT
I am a certified holistic nurse, massage therapist and energy medicine practitioner. I believe that a problem cannot be fully attended to until the root cause has been addressed. We all have a unique recipe of self care ingredients to quiet our minds and adjust our inner balance. Massage and energy medicine may be a part of your individual self care needs to assist you on your journey.
Ideas, thoughts, and past events that no longer serve in a healthy manner may result in physical pain and dis-ease to your system. Slow, purposeful massage techniques with healing intentions, assist in letting go of our discomfort. When we are able to let go of that which no longer serves, space opens up for healing and peace within.
Healing Touch is a non-invasive therapy that uses gentle touch to clear, balance, energize and support our human energy system. This allows for whole healing of the mind, body and spirit. Healing Touch may be an individual treatment or with massage for an added benefit.
Combined with massage, Integrative Reflexology is a gentle form of reflexology for the feet, hands and ears. There are several benefits to IR such as providing an overall state of relaxation as well as relief from headache, sinus congestion, digestive concerns, and reducing muscular tension in the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, sciatic area and spine.
