 The majority of my focus is working with individuals who have autism/aspergers, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other related issues.  In 2003, I earned my bachelor's degree from Carson-Newman University, located near Knoxville, TN.

 The majority of my focus is working with individuals who have autism/aspergers, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other related issues.  In 2003, I earned my bachelor's degree from Carson-Newman University, located near Knoxville, TN. In 2008, I earned my master's degree from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN.  


Since 2011, I've been a licensed counselor and mental health service provider, as well as a licensed Certified Psychological Assistant to complete psychological evaluations. I also carry certification as an Advanced Certified Autism Specialist.  


 I work with many local families around middle Tennessee. For community service, I am available for speaking to teachers, churches, and other organizations to educate about effective methods to use with children who have social and behavioral challenges.  


I have been married to my best friend since 2006, and she and I have two great kids and four dogs. In my spare time, I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 2013. I also wrestled in high school and college, which helps with my BJJ training.  I enjoy football and display some collectibles in my office. I also enjoy RPG gaming on the PS5, and spending quality time with my family doing activities like hiking and board and card games.

I hold dual bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Walden University,  where I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and therapeutic skills.


My professional focus centers on supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and a range of other mental health conditions. I bring a strong foundation in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and  developmental therapy, which I incorporate into collaborative parent training sessions to promote consistency and growth beyond the therapy room.


Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to a two-year-old daughter and dog mom to two pups. I cherish time with my family—whether we’re at the park, splash pad, library, or just cuddled up at home watching movies and sharing popcorn.

Hi, I’m Gracie Haynie. I have my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Cumberland University.
 

My passion lies in working with children and adolescents, particularly those on the autism spectrum, as well as individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. 


Outside of the therapy space, I’m a big family person—completely  obsessed with my dad and little brother—and a proud dog mom. I spend a  lot of time walking, doing Pilates, and diving into independent research  (I genuinely love reading psychology books and staying up to date on new articles). I also enjoy baking, watching comedy, and spending time  with my long-term boyfriend.
