Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Saint Leo University and have over 20 years of clinical experience serving children, teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings: Community Mental Health and School Social Work. Especially helping clients with stress, relationship issues, parenting, family conflict, addictions (eating disorders and/or substance use), depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, low self-esteem, women's issues, trauma, behavioral concerns, and mood disorders. Be proud of yourself for taking the first step towards a better more rewarding life. It's not always easy to take time away from your hectic schedule to focus on your own wants and needs. However, the outcome can be incredibly rewarding! Together we can cultivate resiliency and bring balance back into your life. Using a holistic approach, I assist my clients to effectively face life challenges in a safe and connected environment. I also integrate mindfulness, yoga, and meditation into the session if my client is open to these practices.

Welcome! I'm Leah! It's so nice to meet you. Congratulations on taking the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

Hi, I'm Heather, pronouns she/they! I'm an LCSW and I have 10+ years of experience providing mental health therapy to individuals, couples, and families. My experience working with people who are neurodivergent has allowed me to help them work through feeling stuck, unheard, and/or trapped within our system of social norms and unrealistic expectations. I identify as queer and have worked with clients in all stages of recognizing their queerness. I also have experience working with those who have experienced trauma whether due to their sexuality, abusive relationships, upbringing, or otherwise. I offer virtual therapy sessions, walk-and-talks (therapy where we meet in public but maintain privacy and get our steps in by walking while we talk), and in-home therapy sessions. I do not have a brick and mortar client location; if you are not meeting me virtually we are meeting in public or in your home. In-home appointments will have an additional fee. The address listed on this profile is the most common place clients tend to want to meet for walk-and-talks; but I am more than open to meeting in other public, yet private, locations.

When I was a teen, one of the things I wished for was someone to talk to- someone who wouldn’t judge me, who would be a sounding board and would help me make decisions that would impact my future. When I learned that there was a profession that would provide exactly that, and more, I strove to be for others what I never had myself. I became a mental health counselor or therapist- whatever you prefer to call me- but a person who believes that there are times in all our lives when we could use someone to help us work through whatever issues/concerns/crisis/problems we are facing to help us to work through them and come out in a more positive place on the other side. I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 10 years, assisting clients with many issues including (but not limited to) self-esteem, career problems, anxiety, depression, communication skills, decision-making, LGBQ-related concerns, boundaries, burn-out, parenting, spiritual and existential questions and relationships. Every person is unique which is why my style is to get to know a person’s specific needs and together find ways to address each client’s specific goals utilizing a variety of techniques and theories catered to each individual. If you are ready to do the work, I’m ready to do whatever I can to get you to a more positive place. I would feel privileged to work with you and support you at this time in your life. You are worthy!

I specialize in EMDR therapy, helping people find relief from trauma, anxiety, and performance-based stress. My passion is working with professionals, athletes, and high achievers who feel stuck due to mental blocks. Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, anxiety, or challenges like Loss of Movement Syndrome (the yips), I offer a supportive space where you can heal and thrive. I believe in creating a non-judgmental, compassionate environment where you feel empowered to explore your emotions and experiences. My approach blends EMDR with techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy. This combination helps us tackle both the immediate challenges you’re facing and the deeper patterns that may be holding you back. Clients often appreciate how I balance evidence-based practices with a personal, empathetic touch. Our sessions aren’t just about resolving symptoms—they’re about helping you tap into your inner strength and move toward a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re looking to overcome trauma, manage anxiety, or improve your performance under pressure, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and goals. I’m committed to walking alongside you on your journey, supporting you as you create meaningful change and reach new personal and professional heights.

Have you suffered from a Narcissistic abusive relationship? Do you tend to be a caregiver at the expense of your own needs? Toxic relationships are not limited to romantic partners, they can be with our parents, siblings, friends, and even work relations. These kinds of experiences leave a lasting, negative impact on one’s mental and emotional well-being resulting in a life-long trauma wound. This can leave us in a state of perpetual anxiety, depression, isolation, confusion and codependency, and possible addiction. In my therapy practice, I address the root causes of codependent behaviors which stem from early childhood experiences in dysfunctional family systems, resulting in our ineffective behavioral patterns today. I also have extensive experience working with those who have struggled with addiction and Borderline Personality Disorder.

Do you feel like you need to work out some of your thoughts and feelings? Are you not sure where to start? Hi! I'm Chelsea and I know that feeling all too well. In my therapy practice, I utilize an egalitarian approach while working with people. This means that the therapist and the client are the experts of their own experience. I believe we each bring preconceptions and values into the relationship and these core values can help strengthen trust. I’m, in general, curious about people and who they are; so I LOVE hearing about interests or hobbies or anything that relates to a person’s individuality. I incorporate harm reduction and motivational interviewing within my work. I believe that people are conduits to change and change is dependent on motivation and readiness. I think it is okay if someone is not ready or is not sure if they are ready; we all start somewhere! I enjoy watching people evolve and grow into their authentic selves; which includes knowing who they are and what they value. I value self-awareness and introspection, for myself, and want to help others on their path to their wellness.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to collecting evidenced based "tools for my toolbox" to aid those grappling with finding the new normal after their world has shifted. I most love helping people find language to describe their losses, often when there has been difficulty finding the words, inspiring people to find hope again, and facilitate the development of a plan to move forward in a way that both honors their experiences and embraces the future. I take an action-oriented, collaborative approach to therapy. I utilize a combination of psycho education, storytelling, and evidenced-based interventions to offer meaningful insight to support clients’ healing. I strongly believe that rock bottom is the foundation upon which we can rebuild our lives. We do regular check-ins to review progress along the way. Our goal is not to change the past, but instead to find some relief from symptoms that impact daily functioning. I will solicit feedback regularly during sessions for takeaways to gauge progress and curate treatment interventions based on what is most engaging and productive for the individual client.

With over 19 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, medical issues, and infertility. My personal and professional experiences have shaped my deep empathy, understanding, and ability to relate to others. I began my career working with children in the child welfare system, supporting those who had experienced trauma. Since then, I have worked extensively with a wide range of trauma survivors, including those affected by sexual abuse, child abuse, and domestic violence. I am passionate about helping individuals find healing and peace with their past experiences. Throughout my career, I have also worked with individuals struggling to find motivation or direction in their lives. Whether supporting a young adult unsure of their next steps, an individual coping with depression or grief, or someone with anxiety hesitant to make changes, I am dedicated to helping clients take meaningful steps toward progress and growth. Additionally, my experience includes counseling individuals facing the emotional impact of chronic medical conditions. As a cancer survivor, I have a unique understanding of the challenges associated with medical concerns, chronic pain, and infertility, and I am committed to helping others navigate these experiences with resilience. Cultural competence is central to my practice. Having traveled extensively and lived in diverse parts of the world, I bring a deep appreciation for working with individuals from various cultural backgrounds and life experiences. Beginning counseling can feel daunting, and I strive to create a comfortable, supportive environment for each client. My approach is warm, patient, and client-centered, allowing clients to identify their own goals while I offer guidance. Additionally, I am insight-oriented and logical, often helping clients develop new perspectives and understandings of their situations.

Painful experiences often lead us to put up defenses to prevent from falling into overwhelming emotions. These defenses might be perfectionism, escapism, anger towards those close to us, or entering into unhealthy relationships. However doing so disconnects us from ourselves and from the people around us often resulting in experiences of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate in helping people improve their self-worth, and process traumatic situations that leave us with negative patterns and lack of security. I believe that while brokenness happens in relationships, healing occurs in relationship as well. There is hope that with willingness and facing these uncomfortable parts of ourself that meaningful and lasting change can occur.

Hello, I am Teresa! Are you looking for a therapist who will help you find a better balance in your life? If that sounds like you, I am the Therapist for you! I believe in the importance of building rapport with clients. I want my clients to feel as comfortable as possible, and I do my best to achieve this by using a client-centered approach. I use a balanced approach that allows my client to work through current and past issues that are preventing them from moving forward. I tend to use a Cognitive Behavioral approach with an emphasis on Mindfulness. However, I believe in utilizing an approach that is best for my client this may also include Dialectical Behavioral or Solution Focused therapies. Little about your therapist...I have been in the counseling field for over 20 years. I have worked with individuals (ages 5 and up), couples and families. I received my Masters's Degree in Counseling from Webster University in 2004. I have worked in various settings such as community mental health, public/private schools and private practice.

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.
