Do you struggle with making decisions, finding it hard to fall asleep, letting go of the past or overcoming an unhealthy relationship? Poor sense of worth? Hitting to close to home? Well you have come to the right place. I provide a sense of hope that what you are experiencing is not your Normal and that you can get more out of life! I believe in providing a collaborative setting for my clients in hopes that it will facilitate growth but most of all HOPE. Encouraging clients to see their own potential that they already posses, assisting them in identifying their own negative perceptions or unhealthy thoughts that perpetuates the negative beliefs of self. Therapy is an awakening where self-love, honesty and commitment are a triangle that reaches Happiness. We all thrive to obtain our individual Nirvana or Self- Fulfillment, nonetheless we struggle with the motivation or having the lack of resources. I am here to guide and assist you along this journey. We know change can be challenging and sometimes scary. However, with perseverance and assistance from myself (your personal clinical confidant), we can process and achieve these goals together. So tell me, are you ready? If so, I am here to walk alongside you with encouragement and support!

My name is Eric Lopez. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I studied psychology at the University of Florida and earned my Masters of Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. I am client centered in my approach to therapy and believe empathy and understanding are key to the therapeutic relationship. Having over 15 years of counseling in the state of Florida, over the years I have worked with people suffering from depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, abuse, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, homelessness, and juvenile delinquency issues. The clients I have worked with have been between the ages of 5 and 85 from all races, ethnicities, cultures, backgrounds, political beliefs, and sexual orientations. The key to counseling and the client receiving true help, in my opinion, is having an open, empathetic, and trusting therapeutic relationship in which the client feels safe, heard and understood. With the client being the expert on their life, therapist and client together can bring clarity to thoughts, emotions, values, priorities, situations, and decisions. I integrate cognitive, behavioral, motivational interviewing, solution focused, existential and other approaches into counseling that is tailored to the client's needs and personality. Helping clients overcome problems and function at their best is my goal and honor. I hold a current License for Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) in the state of Florida.

Hello there! I hope your day has been going well. If it hasn’t, I wish to assist with your tomorrow going a bit better. Oftentimes, tomorrows can be overwhelming; filled with both potentials and uncertainty. I view tomorrow as a garden that needs tending in the present so the most lush potentials can grow. Gardens require emotional work that you may be unable to do alone for any number of reasons. This is why I offer my assistance. Not as a head gardener telling you what to do, or staff blindly following you, but as a comforting presence at your side to help you walk through your path and plants seeds for your desired tomorrows My areas of expertise include emotional difficulties, depressive disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues, and personal growth/development. While these are the areas of expertise for myself, I maintain that therapy is not a “one way street” so to speak. I, as your therapist, walk with you to provide support and tools as you move towards your ideal self. I believe that all people deserve tomorrows that are brighter than their todays, and I hope I can assist you on that first step in planting your better tomorrow. For all my clients, I wish to one day sit with them in the beautiful garden they have created. To enjoy the fruits of their success, and perhaps share a lovely cup of tea with them. Let's begin your journey!

Hi! My name is Sheryl Kunath and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 7 years of experience including my training as a graduate student from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. Through my experience as a therapist, I recognize that therapy can come with many hesitations as it can be intimidating, overwhelming, and challenging to get started. However, my goal as a therapist is to see that clients can feel comfortable working through the uncomfortable and feel confident enough that they can trust me throughout the process. I aspire for my clients to have their treatment focused on their specific needs and goals rather than trying to treat all clients in the same ways. This means that you will be able to process your concerns in therapy using an approach that is best fit for you at this time in your life. I have worked with clients of all ages from infants up until 70 years old, ranging from various presenting concerns including trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, fertility, relational problems, and more. Depending on your current concerns, I will use the therapy model that best addresses the challenges you would like to overcome.

Hi there, I’m Jessica. Do you feel unappreciated, unseen, and unheard? Do you often put the needs of others before your own because that’s “the way things have always been”? Are you questioning your purpose in life, feeling lost, as if life is happening to you? Are you struggling to make time for yourself, feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or weighed down by cultural and generational expectations? I see you. I specialize in helping sensitive, ambitious women—particularly those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or Women of Color—break cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and inherited burdens to find balance and avoid burnout. Together, we’ll identify and untangle deeply rooted, systemic patterns that keep you feeling stuck. My goal is to help you live freely, not just survive within societal limitations. We’ll use an integrative, person-centered, strengths-based, and culturally sensitive approach that honors your lived experiences and empowers you to reclaim your narrative. My work embraces a decolonized approach to therapy. This means we will question and deconstruct traditional mental health models that may not reflect your lived experiences. Instead, we’ll prioritize cultural context, community care, and dismantling generational expectations that often undermine BIWOC. I integrate mindfulness, spirituality, and faith as resources for resilience, helping you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you’re navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, or the complexities of single parenting—especially with a child with unique abilities—I provide a safe, soulful space for healing and growth. Finding a therapist who understands and aligns with your values can be challenging. The fact that you’re here now means you’re in the right place. This journey is yours—let’s walk it together.

Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, navigating friendships, connecting with your partner or building stronger family dynamics, but I am here to help. No matter how big or small the problem is, no one should face life challenges alone. I would be happy to be part of your journey of healing, seeking self-acceptance and optimal fulfillment to live your best life. My hope for our work together is that you complete therapy with a better understanding of self, emotions, behaviors and a unique toolbox to manage any stressors. I utilize person-in-environment approaches, where we are able to look at how the different domains of life are impacting you and vice versa. As a therapist, I am collaborative, exploratory, and realistic, which also means that I will challenge you to expand your perspective about yourself, emotions, thoughts, behaviors, relationships, family dynamics, etc. Being vulnerable is scary! In my practice, I view therapy as a collaborative process, where you are the expert of your life and experiences and I can help you to figure out where you want to go and how you want to get there. I welcome you to ask as many questions as possible to see if I am the right therapist for you. Nothing is off the table!

I specialize in life challenges that trigger stress, trauma, grief, anxiety, and PTSD. Stress, pain, fear, and confusion are alarm clocks that beg to be heard and answered. Therapy is one way to turn down the noise and listen to our inner voice. We can't always control what is outside of us, but we have the agency to engage self-mastery that guides that inner voice toward wisdom that heals and integrates the pieces we may have lost along the way.

I am a person-centered therapist who prioritizes creating a supportive and empathetic space for my clients. I focus on helping them explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace, empowering them to achieve their identified goals through self-discovery and personal growth. My clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where they feel heard and valued. I work collaboratively with them to identify their goals and tailor the therapeutic process to meet their unique needs. Clients can anticipate sessions that encourage self-reflection, build on their strengths, and provide practical tools for overcoming challenges. Through our work together, they can expect to gain insights, develop coping strategies, and experience growth that empowers them to make meaningful progress toward their goals. Above all, they can count on a therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy, and respect.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

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 Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available 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.
