Greetings! Secular psychotherapist here. Is taking care of everyone but yourself breaking you down? Tired of being called “co-dependent”? Do you have beliefs that are different from others and feel a little “off”? Are you becoming more and more anxious or depressed? You're not alone. I help those looking for a professional confidant and can help with processing difficult transitions and even traumas.

Or perhaps you are having difficulty setting boundaries with a toxic person in your life. Perhaps you are having difficulty with relationships due to a past that seems ever so present. My therapeutic style is empathetic and interpersonal. Person-centered. I use evidence-based talk therapy (Acceptance & Commitment, Narrative, etc.) and mindfulness techniques. I believe in our getting to know one another well over time. I welcome diversity in my practice, including those with other than traditional orientations: religious, sexual, gender, or otherwise. Hit the “Book Session” today to find out if we are a fit.

Feeling stuck? Struggling with change, grief, or fertility issues? Life can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Whether dealing with loss, a life transition, anxiety, or fertility challenges, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain. You deserve to feel heard, understood, and empowered. Through our work together, you can find clarity, relief, and strength, transforming how you cope and experiencing peace and renewed purpose.

A little bit about me, my name is Amanda Chilleme, I am a Florida and North Carolina Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master’s Certified Addiction professional. For the last 11 years I have been helping my clients identify intrinsically important goals, overcoming obstacles, and build the foundation for a better future. My specialty has been working with men and women struggling with both substance abuse and process or behavioral addictions; helping them to find the pathway to a life unencumbered. I also have years of experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, bereavement, trauma, attachment, and personality disorders. As a clinician, I utilize a human focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on; you already know the “what”. As a clinician, it is my job to help you understand the “why”, and eventually, the “how” (to fix it, overcome it, or just plain throw it away). Your first session, is essentially a two-way interview; as I listen to your story/narrative, and the “rough draft” begins to unfold, WE as a team determine if, 1) I am the right therapist for you, and 2) If you are the right client for me. If we both agree to move forward from the first session, identifying your goals will be your first assignment; giving you the opportunity to do this, helps me to better see how you think and interpret your barriers (i.e. stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, etc.). I am your coach, teammate, and cheer leader! We will focus on one goal at a time. Whether you are just starting this process, or you have been in it for a while, I encourage you to plant that mustard seed, and watch just how beautifully you can grow.

Hi. I’m Christine. It might feel uncomfortable to think of yourself in counseling. Depression can tank motivation. Maybe you're up-in-my-face motivated like a Schnauzer I know with the mail guy. In any case, the change process can require more than shaking the Magic 8-Ball or Stevie Nicks’ tour schedule. If you are too young for those references, I still have your back. You've figured out social media, friends, and even your family don't have all the answers. I don't either, but my job is to help your thoughts not sound like bullies. I will help you authentically connect with improved relationship skills, and I will teach emotional regulation strategies, so your body doesn't feel like it’s being driven by, well, a Schnauzer. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in journalism, gardening, and photography. I am passionate about creating habitats for local wildlife and believe one's relationship with the natural world is impactful to their level of overall wellness.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, I join in collaboration and congruency with my clients demonstrating warmth, empathy, and genuineness--fundamental to the development of a therapeutic relationship. CBT is designed to bring in balance with use of tools and resources based on functioning of the person. My personal philosophy of life for counseling is that 'serene tranquility' coupled with 'bringing in balance' is cornerstone to the rejuvenation of Hope. It is the road to recovery; for restoration of faith from doubt/grief/loss; for personal growth and development; for understanding self and functioning in relationships with others; and, with building self-confidence and -esteem geared towards recognizing inherent characteristic qualities of life: worth, value, and validation. CBT helps with understanding the functional roles of all emotions, both positive and negative, and their impact on behavioral responses. I believe that you are the expert and pilot of your own life; and, am here to assist you with navigating your life journey by providing a safe and caring space free of judgment as your life co-pilot. My approach is one of warmth, that is proven Results-Oriented.

My name is Bill Massey and I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in west central Georgia and east central Alabama. I graduated from the University of Georgia's MSW program in 1993 and became an LCSW in 1996. I have worked in home health and hospice for most of my career with a strong emphasis on geriatrics and dementia care. I have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and residential services as well. I am looking to fill a niche that I have seen wanting attention for some time. For many years I have seen elders and their families in their homes but had to refer out any counseling other than crisis intervention to outpatient therapists. The problem is that I have been referring homebound people for outpatient therapy. This is not effective for many reasons. With the help of Grow Therapy, I intend to offer my services of counseling and case management to people in the comfort of their own homes. I will become a mobile mental health provider to serve a population that has gone largely underserved for all too long. My coverage area for in-home therapy will be Lee, Russell, and Chambers counties in Alabama as well as Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris Counties in Georgia. I am opening up limited appointment times for virtual counseling as of mid May 2024.

I am a licensed mental health therapist in Georgia with 10 years of experience working as a counselor and life coach.

My therapy style is client centered focusing on CBT and solution focus. I'm easy to talk to but I'm here to help (you pay me to be honest ;) so shoot my feedback from the hip but share it in a loving manner. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client or family centered, and solution focus. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! SIDE NOTE FOR FIRST TIME CLIENT'S I want transparency about late cancelation and no show charges. I understand things happen so the best way to communicate that is to reach out to me. In order to avoid the late cancelation fee please cancel within 24 hours and 1 min of the appointment time. Grow provides a cancelation link or you can reach out to me and I can help you reschedule the appointment if available. Also if a client does not log on within 15 minutes of the start time, it's considered a no show and the no show fee is charged.

Empowerment Begins Here: See How the Right Support Can Reshape Your Path! Hello there! I am Janesta Nairn, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) based in Georgia. I earned my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of Holy Cross, and my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, both are CACREP-accredited universities. I have accumulated over a decade of experience in the field. I am a faith-driven professional who draws from various modalities to meet the unique needs of each individual with a person-centered foundation, prioritizing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore experiences and goals with empathy and understanding. My primary goal is to create a supportive and nurturing space to facilitate healing, encourage wellness, inspire personal growth, and survive trauma-related circumstances. I am under consultation and pursuing my Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) credential for children ages 18 and below. Therefore, if you are a parent of a 16 to 18-year-old who has faced trauma, and both you and your child are willing to commit to at least 15 structured sessions, I strongly encourage you to reach out and schedule a consultation.

Peter Francisco has been quoted with saying, "If you always do what you’ve always done, you always get what you’ve always gotten". You are making a vital step in success, and for that I commend you. With 20+ years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Employee Assistance Professional, recognizing the balance between our thoughts and behaviors can be a bridge for a better outcome. Circumstances can be tough. Recognizing our own strengths can help position us to overcome those tough moments.

I work mostly with clients dealing with trauma and an array of issues that stem from a trauma based history like depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-worth and value, and relationships issues. I also work with clients dealing with life transitions like parenthood, mid-life issues, and divorce, young adults learning how to manage adulthood, and those with chronic illnesses among other things.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia who has been practicing since 2013. I believe in working from a deeply empathetic and validating perspective that can create a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By focusing on understanding the underlying thoughts and emotions that contribute to symptoms, I am able to help clients gain insight into their attachment wounds and how they may be impacting their current relationships and well-being. Uncovering attachment wounds is an essential part of the therapeutic process, as it allows clients to recognize and make sense of their past experiences and how they may be influencing their present lives. By exploring these wounds together, I can help clients develop a greater understanding of their attachment patterns and how they affect their sense of self, relationships, and overall emotional well-being. Repairing attachment wounds involves providing clients with a corrective emotional experience within the therapeutic relationship. By offering empathy, understanding, and acceptance, I can support clients in building trust and developing healthier attachment styles. This process may involve exploring and challenging negative beliefs or self-criticisms, practicing new ways of relating to oneself and others, and fostering self-compassion. Additionally, focusing on resilience can help clients develop the inner strength and coping strategies necessary to navigate challenges and setbacks. By identifying and building upon existing strengths and resources, clients can enhance their ability to bounce back from difficulties and adapt to life’s stressors.
