About Kenneth
Kenneth O'Hearn is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with three years of professional therapy experience. He draws on a long history of crisis work before becoming a counselor, including 25 years as a board-certified paramedic and 10 years in the U.S. Air Force. Kenneth works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression.
He helps people who are dealing with post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and mood-related struggles. He also addresses attachment issues, dissociation, guilt and shame, and concerns around narcissism. Life purpose is listed among his focus areas for clients questioning direction after major life changes.
Kenneth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and centers the client’s experience in sessions. He treats the person’s story as the starting point and looks for strengths the client may not yet see. Sessions tend to be direct and practical, with attention to how symptoms show up in daily life.
His background in emergency response and military service informs how he understands high-stress work and first responder issues. That experience shapes the way he talks about trauma, addiction, and recovery in straightforward terms. He brings real-world perspective on how these problems affect routines, relationships, and work.
People often come to him when they feel stuck after a job change, a health event, or difficult relationship shifts. He asks concrete questions and helps people map next steps rather than offering quick fixes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Practical approaches for trauma, addiction, and mood
Kenneth works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and addiction. For trauma-related symptoms he uses methods that focus on grounding, rebuilding daily routines, and reducing flashbacks and avoidance. These approaches aim to help people manage reactions and regain steadier functioning in everyday life.For addiction and substance-related concerns he applies structured, skills-focused work that examines triggers, relapse patterns, and coping strategies. This kind of approach supports clearer plans for recovery and practical steps to change behavior patterns.
Finding the right method is part of the process. Kenneth will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, experiences, and preferences. He pays attention to what works in short sessions and what needs longer-term attention, adjusting the plan together as needs change.
