About
As one who has experienced trauma and grief, I bring to the counseling approach of compassion and experience how one's world can be negatively impacted. I believe in empowering men and women to become the best version of their normal while instilling pride and resilience that they can overcome obstacles in their life.

As one who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have an authentic understanding of the impact of trauma on wellbeing and how working through this, we can gain a greater capacity for empathy and empowerment.
Hi, I'm Ann Moore, LPC-MHSP. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Tennessee. I've been a mental health counselor for 6 years working with children, adolescents, families and adults. I've met clients in person and with Telehealth. My clients have wanted help with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, panic attacks, substance use addictions, traumatic memories, stress, adjustment to life changes, PTSD, eating disorders, grief, impulsivity, anger problems, and other issues. I've helped them grow, by collaborating with them on goals and objectives for addressing their specific needs.
I meet my clients where they are, by using a Person-Centered approach. We work together to find their unique strengths and needs. I use a variety of techniques to help clients gain insight into how they are feeling, thinking and reacting. This understanding helps them confidently navigate circumstances & interpersonal relationships and accept themselves.
Please know that you are not alone. Therapists like myself are eager to help, and come from a background that imparts empathy and understanding. Many symptoms can be reduced or resolved using research based techniques. Everyone, even counselors, benefit from being heard, learning and growing. Let me know if you're ready to take the next step together.

Cannabis use disorder counseling from our Thriveworks therapists in Knoxville can help people manage their urges to use cannabis. In addition, it can help people manage the challenges that stem from their cannabis use disorder, from relationship issues to problems at work, as well as those that their disorder may stem from, like trauma.
Cannabis use disorder counseling works by helping one understand the underlying causes of their disorder, teaching them coping strategies, and recognizing their specific triggers. Long-term or ongoing cannabis use disorder counseling can also help to prevent relapse.
Cannabis use disorder counseling at Thriveworks Knoxville, TN is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of cannabis use disorder counseling in Knoxville depends on the individual’s needs, the extent and severity of their disorder, and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in cannabis use disorder counseling in the first weeks to months.
Whatever term people use for it and whatever opinion people have of it, cannabis use can be done responsibly, but it also can get out of control in people’s lives. Cannabis Use Disorder is a diagnosis recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). When people continue using weed despite serious distress or impairment, they may struggle with Cannabis Use Disorder.
If you use pot and see that it is negatively affecting your life, quitting is possible, and you do not have to do it alone. Thriveworks Knoxville, TN offers counseling for Cannabis Use Disorder, and our therapists are ready to help. Reach out today to schedule your first appointment.
Cannabis is a plant that has a psychoactive compound in it called Delta-9-TetraHydrocannabinol (THC). When ingested or smoked, THC has a depressant effect. It does not necessarily cause people to feel depressed, but it slows the messages between the brain and the body. In larger doses, it can have hallucinogen effects.
While cannabis has a reputation for not being an addictive drug, this reputation is a myth. Up to 9 percent of adults and 17 percent of teens who use cannabis become addicted. Daily use of pot can be particularly problematic as 25-50 percent of daily users develop an addiction. While many people use weed without forming a dependency, enough people have formed an addiction that is recognized as Cannabis Use Disorder.
DSM-5 defines CUD as cannabis use for at least one year with impaired functioning and increased agitation, as shown through at least two of the following symptoms:
Many people seek treatment for their CUD and are glad they did. Each individual’s disorder has different symptoms, severity, and impact, but after treatment, many have reported similar benefits:
Therapy is not a quick-fix for CUD, but its benefits may be worth the time and effort.
Is pot giving you more trouble than highs? Has your relationship with it become more consuming and complicated? If so, it may be time for help. Therapy to treat Cannabis Use Disorder often provides the support and guidance people need to treat their addiction.
Making that first call to schedule an appointment can be difficult, and the therapists at Thriveworks Knoxville understand. We have made the processing of scheduling therapy as easy as possible.
When you call our office, a person will help you make an appointment. If you need a weekend of evening session, they are available. We also work with most insurance providers. Plus, many new clients meet with a provider within the week of reaching out. Reach out today to get started.
