Koontz, LCSW, CAMS-II Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had big questions about life, the human mind, and the universe! That curiosity led me to earn a BA in philosophy from MTSU. I wasn’t really interested in the weird philosophical questions like whether chairs exist (yes - philosophy is weird), but I loved the practical life advice offered by the ancient schools like the Stoics. They asked the real questions: “How do I live a good life?” “How can I be a good man?” “How do I deal with the troubles life throws at me?” “How can I control my emotions?” That’s when I realized, there are a lot of folks out there looking for their own answers and I wanted to help them! So, I moved to Knoxville and earned my MSSW (Master of Science in Social Work) from UT. I spent a year with CASA advocating in court for kids who had been neglected or abused. Later, I joined Ridgeview Mobile Crisis where I helped clients thinking about suicide or homicide. I remained there for 7 years, rising from an internship to a leadership role. After earning my LCSW and becoming a CAMS-II (certified anger management specialist), I decided to open a private practice in Knoxville. My dream is to help as many Tennesseans as possible answer their own important life-questions and to help them address whatever issues they feel hold them back from living their best life.

We offer REAL anger management for REAL change. Chris Koontz is a Certified Anger Management Specialist or CAMS-II with NAMA, the National Anger Management Association, and he teaches NAMA’s 12 week anger management program. Chris also offers the 16 week What is Good About Anger program. However, as a certified therapist with years of crisis experience, Chris is able to tailor the program to fit the individual needs of his clients. What to expect: First, you will meet with Chris for a free intake during which he will test your anger level. Then, you will meet with Chris and 3-7 other students on a weekly basis for 12 1-1.5 hour sessions. The first half of the class is instructional and the second half of the class is comprised of a group discussion. These classes are meant to help you catch anger events approaching and to limit their destructive power in your life. At the end of the 12 week period - provided you have attended classes, participated, and paid your fees - Chris will provide a letter which will show exactly how much you have improved during your time in our anger management program. Learn more about fees under the “Services” section. https://www.koontzcounseling.com/gallery-1-2 daily 0.75 2022-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722611-SV945DT7BTN3H0QJH0FY/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722352-KE0T070VO49ST8R3HN0Y/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847720867-RDAE893FXFXK3PHOQ7JQ/Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847721684-YTD6Q5S75A0ZA9UW5PMN/Aro+Ha_0010.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722018-8TCT6PT455LE207HT5NA/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847721315-N2H1U9IQOPV7U46ZTICY/Aro+Ha_0393.jpg Gallery 1 https://www.koontzcounseling.com/welcome-to-my-office daily 0.75 2023-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62485bb097ae3e0ac78b6d5a/f3f59f76-989a-4b41-b07c-19abf8763f45/20220801_144220.jpg Welcome to my Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62485bb097ae3e0ac78b6d5a/59177c72-121f-4385-917e-c7bbf88e920b/20220801_144209.jpg Welcome to my Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62485bb097ae3e0ac78b6d5a/a4e42ee6-e941-4410-addc-25e87178ccbe/20220801_144138.jpg Welcome to my Office https://www.koontzcounseling.com/our-approach daily 0.75 2025-05-13 https://www.koontzcounseling.com/get-started daily 0.75 2025-05-13
