Accepting New Clients
Kaysee Collins
Kaysee Collins, MSW Intern. under the supervision of Joe Mixon, LMFT.
Kaysee Collins is a Master of Social Work student at the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, and an intern at Knox Therapy Center. Before entering clinical social work, Kaysee
spent more than five years working as a holistic practitioner, supporting individuals through
yoga, meditation, mindfulness, sound-based practices, and relational approaches to wellbeing.
Her clinical interests include trauma-informed and somatic approaches, with a focus on
the connection between mental health and the nervous system. Kaysee is particularly interested
in how stress and trauma influence the nervous system, emotional regulation, and the ways
people experience and relate to themselves, others, and the world around them. She brings
whole-person perspective into her developing clinical practice while continuing to build her
foundation in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other
evidence-based social work and psychotherapy.
Kaysee believes therapy should be a collaborative process grounded in safety, curiosity,
and compassion. She hopes to create a space where clients can slow down, notice what is
happening within them, and develop a deeper understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and
physical experiences. Kaysee works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, increase
self-awareness, and develop practical strategies that support emotional awareness and
meaningful behavioral change.
When she is not working or studying, Kaysee enjoys spending time with family and
friends, playing board games, exploring the rivers and outdoors around the Smoky Mountains,
and ending the weekend with an old movie, especially one with a little fantasy.
