I believe in seeing the client before me as a whole person rather than his or her diagnosis. The therapy room should be safe space to develop a positive relationship with a therapist one has rapport with and I aim to be that therapist for everyone who walks into my office. I utilize multiple tools and theories in sessions; but at the core, I am a person-centered therapist who practices unconditional positive regard for my clients. Whatever issue or life change brings you to therapy, I will work with you to help you create a more positive mental space for yourself, and empower you to make the necessary changes to impact your life in a beneficial manner. Therapy is a tool for everyone to use; life can get challenging, and having someone in your corner to support you through different obstacles can be an advantage.

Hi There, Perrin here, If you are reading this short bio, I want to first congratulate you on the first step towards self discovery. I was born in The Bronx, NY which has inducted me naturally into a world that did not always make sense. I am mixed with African American and Native American heritage so this has allowed me to be both culturally sensitive as well as unbiased towards the human experience. I have a great appreciation for humanity which has led me to this field and assisting individuals in recognizing their innate abilities to push through tough challenges is my most treasured goal. My practice embodies the three core processes I have concluded to be effective during my 13 years of experience. These processes are; explore, grow, and maintain and through these processes, individuals will understand and explore where they have come from, growing through their experiences, and using the skills along the way in maintaining effective change.

I take a holistic perspective with my clients to address the health of body, mind, and spirit. I believe that a solid therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is a crucial part of the healing process, and that techniques and therapy approaches must “fit” the client in order to be effective—there is no “one size fits all” therapy. My goal, as a counselor and therapist, is to deeply understand my client, and when this happens we are able to identify areas of life that need to be changed, and ways of going about doing that. Therapy is a collaborative process between a trained therapist and a client who wants to change.

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a licensed therapist in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina who helps people feeling burned out, anxious, or stuck in survival mode reconnect with balance and purpose. Many of my clients come to me after feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or the constant pressure to keep going — even when they’re running on empty. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and learn healthier ways to cope. My style is compassionate and collaborative — I meet you where you are and help you build practical tools for stress, boundaries, and self-care that actually fit your life. Before starting my private practice, I worked in behavioral health settings supporting individuals living with substance use, bipolar disorder, and other chronic mental health conditions. That experience taught me that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that real change happens when therapy feels safe, personalized, and empowering. If you’re ready to move from burnout to balance, I’d love to help you take that next step.

Welcome! I'm Debra Sollitto. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from New York. I graduated from New York University with a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have been treating clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and various other psychiatric conditions for almost 30 years. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken 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.

Here you are. You have noticed a challenge in your life. You have tried many things. You are (almost) ready to overcome this and live as a better version of yourself. You are looking for help. First of all, take time to give yourself a pat on the back. It’s not easy to know when you need help. Let’s pick up right where you are. Let’s figure out together how to set goals, make decisions, recognize barriers, stay motivated, find balance, deal with stressors, cope with losses, and accept setbacks. Let’s make sure that you embrace your identity and that you create and maintain positive relationships. Let’s do this! I am looking forward to meeting you.

Hi! I'm Nancy Valdes, LCSW. I've been helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and life's challenges for over 15 years. My approach is collaborative and empowering, use practical, evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT and CPT to help you understand your emotions, shift unhelpful patterns and build skills to feel more confident and in control. I enjoy working in partnership with my clients to determine which therapeutic approach and techniques will support best their journey and healing. It is important to me that you feel connected to your therapist, as this connection creates the trust and transparency needed to reach your goals. Outside of work, I practice meditation, enjoy reading, cooking, journaling, trying different cuisines, traveling and most recently gardening. I love animals and nature and one of my personal goals this year is learning to play the guitar. I would be honored to support you on your healing journey and provide a safe, compassionate space for growth and change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor located in NYS. I graduated with my Master's degree in mental health counseling in 2015 and my bachelors in psychology in 2011. I began my career as a mental health crisis responder in my local community and worked in that role for a number of years. Following my work in community crisis response I transitioned into a community mental health outpatient, working as an individual therapist. Through my community based work I have been fortunate to work with a wide range of individuals and problems. I did notice a pattern of folks being impacted by past or present traumas which were showing up in relationships and impacting the quality of life for many. This is when I decided to focus my career on building the skills that I needed in order to help my clients resolve traumas. I am a certified EMDR clinician and bring a trauma-informed lens into the work I do with my clients.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

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 New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

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.
