Sonya is a licensed professional counselor and board certified dance/movement therapist whose work is informed by humanistic, person-centered, and strengths-based approaches. She strives to create an open and safe space for clients to be their authentic self, explore emotions, expressions and relationships, and find ways to continue growing within the therapeutic relationship. Sonya’s theoretical framework values the following core principles: communication, and relationships; supporting tension release and vitality; and the importance of meeting clients where they are physically, emotionally, and developmentally within a trusting environment. Sonya focuses on solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches, but employs additional options as needed, depending on each client's personal journey towards healing.

My name is Danielle Jones. I am a graduate of Antioch University with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since 2016 my experience has ranged from anxiety, depression and trauma to ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Experience and training have allowed me the privilege of working with adolescents and adults ranging from 15 and up as a mobile therapist and in office settings. Treatment modalities include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Understanding the continuously changing environment and demands that impact mental health, I constantly look for and take advantage of educational opportunities of client-centered treatment modalities that ignite client participation for purposes of collaborative positive change. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor my passion is bringing healing to people who are struggling with some of life’s challenges. I believe that helping people understand and connect to their thought processes creates the foundation for positive change. Using a personable and empathetic approach to understanding people’s challenges, I have made it my purpose to guide and support clients on their journey to achieving and maintaining an improved quality of life. Every treatment approach is unique to the specific needs/goals of the client. Therefore, I take pride in developing a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship that allows clients the freedom to begin their healing process. I offer an environment that clients can feel safe in to explore and challenge themselves. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family (as I take on my new role as a grandmom), traveling and reading. I am a huge advocate for self-care and strongly encourage my clients to engage in self-care activities. Some of what I enjoy the most are decorating, gardening and crocheting as hobbies.

Hi - I’m Crystal. It sure is complicated to be an adult these days. We are surrounded by chaos, catastrophe, covid – on top of regular life expectations of work, relationships and family. The canned response of “increase your self-care” is much easier said than done. Co-existing with anxiety and/or depression has become a way of life. Sometimes just having a person to rely on to listen to your struggles would make the difference. As someone well versed in anxiety, therapy is a huge help. If you are looking for someone to hold space for you or if you are looking for tools to apply in your life, please reach out to set up your first appointment.

Hi there, I am Rachel a licensed clinical social worker and therapist. Are you struggling to figure out the solution to your internal conflicts, but don’t know where to begin? You don’t like the way things are going, but have fallen into the cultural norm of just pushing through? Do you feel like you’re “just present” or on autopilot? Do you struggle to be intentional? Maybe it’s sleep deprivation from being awake all night with your newborn, the stress of your career is keeping you awake or even the struggle of balancing life, as they say “life keeps life-ing.” Let’s talk about it… My area of expertise includes pregnancy and postpartum support, conception, birth trauma, and loss. In addition, I work with clients experiencing fluctuating self-esteem, imposter syndrome, depression, anxiety and emotions surrounding intergenerational mobility (change in socioeconomic status/income) and generational trauma. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

My name is Dr. Olushola Bakare, and I'm a board-certified Psychotherapist. I attended St Joseph College. I'm happy to help you today with any of your concerns. I enjoy empowering people and digging out their strengths. I don't ask fish to fly, neither do I ask birds to swim. I respect everyone's strengths and help my client recognize them. I love to highlight my client's strengths. I offer a safe, warm, therapeutic, judgment-free space for Adults (18+) and Older Adults (65+). I am sorry, but I do not accept clients who pay in cash. Also, every late cancellation or no-show accrues a late charge fee. It is my ethical duty to officially terminate our therapeutic relationship when it is reasonably clear that the client is no longer beneficent, services are no longer required, counseling no longer serves the client's needs and interests, or Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT limits do not allow the provision of further counseling services. It is the policy of Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, that our professional relationship will be terminated after a one-month consistent lapse of meeting with a client. Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, will attempt to notify you of this change in status as soon as possible after one month. My ethical duty is identifying, being available, and caring for current clients. It could feel awkward for our relationship to end, yet it is not meant to be discourteous in any way. I do not complete disability forms (Social Security, work excuse, FMLA, Court papers/legal papers, emotional support letters, etc). NO COUPLE THERAPY OR MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, PLEASE!

Hello and welcome! I'm Rosa Sutton, an EdD, MS, LPCMH who wants to help you help yourself. Are you struggling with some of life's little and not-so-little transitions? Has your past kept you from moving forward and feeling stuck? Do you find adulting is just hard to figure out sometimes and that life can get you feeling anxious, on-edge, or down? Are you finding it hard to be kind to yourself? I empower emerging, young or young-at-heart adults to manage their anxieties about daily life, work through their past traumas and help them to keep moving forward. Together, we identify what's working for you and what's not, so you're not stuck anymore. I integrate a person-centered, trauma-focused, mindfulness-based approach to help you emerge into the person you want to become. Whether you're dealing with moving on from trauma, cycles of anxiety and depression, burnout, transitioning to adulthood, relationship issues or self-discovery, I'm here to help. Adulting is hard, finding a therapist shouldn't be. Isn't it time to be kind to yourself?

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Delaware rather than a city like Wilmington?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Delaware from Dover to Newark! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Delaware.

Will my therapist take Amerihealth Administrators?

Yes! If you use Amerihealth Administrators you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Amerihealth Administrators you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
