Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. Trauma, loss, or seasons of change can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of where to turn. At our core, we all long for a space to process pain, share our story, and feel truly understood.

I’m Samara Grant, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Helping Hands Counseling in Knoxville, TN. My approach is rooted in attachment, looking at how our earliest connections shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. I also weave in somatic practices, providing practical ways of listening to the body and calming the nervous system.

Therapy, at its heart, is about healing in relationship. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, respect, and hope.
