Still Waters Counseling Services
Founded by counselors who wanted to help other counselors thrive, SWCS focuses on connecting clients with independently practicing counselors affiliated with us. We provide admin support to counselors so they can focus on helping you with your goals, not on distracting details. They get to be their own boss! We connect with you on your first phone call and answer questions, and refer you to the counselor of your choice. We also provide billing and insurance support.
We have locations in Knoxville, TN as well as Jefferson City, TN.
Counselors
All the counselors here are local, real people, fully licensed and experienced at what they do. While each counselor has their own unique approach and specialties, they all aim to give a personalized care experience and treatment approaches that are customized to each unique person they work with, and build up their clients with skills they can use to address their needs.
Each counselor is independently in-network with some insurances, click below to learn more.
Our Goals
Still Waters Counseling strives to ensure your counselor is able to remain focused on you and your goals by taking care of the behind the scenes details.
Counselors want to provide their clients a treatment experience that engages them and their goals, caring for their needs with brainstorming and problem solving collaboratively, actively listening and helping to learn and practice skills and strategies that can be useful for years to come.
