Counseling Center – The Journey Center for Healing Arts
Established in 2009, The Journey Center for Healing Arts is a counseling practice located in Johnson City, Tennessee, co-founded by Sybil R Smith, LPC/MHSP, and JJ Knodel, LCSW. The center was created to provide therapeutic support for individuals navigating emotional distress, and its clinical team includes multiple therapists who maintain extended training in trauma-focused care.
The practice addresses a range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, disordered eating, and post-traumatic stress. Clinicians at the center work with clients across various issues, and the practice’s stated approach emphasizes tailoring therapeutic modalities to individual client needs. The center describes its environment as “a safe place of compassionate, acceptance, curiosity, and healthy relationship,” with an orientation toward acceptance-based care and devoted time in sessions to support healing and personal growth.
Services are offered in-person at the Johnson City location. The center maintains a waiting list for new clients and provides a New Client Form for those seeking to begin services. A Good Faith Estimate is automatically available when scheduling an appointment or upon request, consistent with federal transparency requirements.
The practice also offers a therapy resources section featuring recommended books, a client portal for existing clients, and a careers section for employment opportunities. Additional therapist and service information is available through the website beyond what is presented on the main page.
