Hello My name is Kianna and I have been working in the mental health field for more than 25 years. I attended undergrad at Colgate University where I studied Sociology and Biology. There I developed a passion for Mental Health and a thirst to understand why people do the things we do. I attended the Syracuse University School of Social Work and majored in Mental Health. I have worked with diverse populations of all ages since then and came to find that I enjoy working with people who have come from disadvantaged backgrounds, people of color, women, Autists, and persons living with Anxiety and Trauma of all kinds. Trauma comes in many forms and the abuser can be a member of your family, a stranger and even your society. As a Social Worker of color, I was drawn to becoming a therapist after my own struggle to find a therapist that looks like me. I want to dismantle the stigma that many communities carry about seeking help for mental challenges and show people that everyone can benefit from a better relationship with themselves.

Hi, I’m Josh Burke, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapy across, Colorado, New York and Vermont. I’ve spent over 12 years working with individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and major life transitions. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. Because of that, I place a strong emphasis on building a genuine, trusting relationship from the start—one where you feel supported, understood, and able to be honest about what you’re going through. My approach is both relational and goal-oriented. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), which means we won’t just talk about what’s wrong—we’ll also focus on what matters to you and how to move toward it in practical, meaningful ways. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or navigating a significant transition, our work will center on helping you better understand your experience, develop new ways of responding to stress, and take steps toward the life you want to live. I tailor therapy to each person, recognizing that no two paths forward look the same. I believe change is possible—even when things feel difficult—and I aim to walk alongside you in a way that feels collaborative, grounded, and forward-moving.

I am a native New Yorker and a graduate of Fordham University’s School of Social Work.I have decades of experience working with diverse populations. I bring a wealth of knowledge, insight, and clinical depth to my practice. Throughout my career, I have found this work to be deeply rewarding, with my role as a therapist being the most meaningful. I am honored to provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can engage in soul-searching, experience moments of epiphany, feel validated, and gain greater self-understanding. I believe that meaningful growth happens when clients are met where they are, with empathy and respect, and I work diligently to support that process. Central to my practice is the importance of self-care, which I actively embrace and practice weekly. I view self-care as essential—not optional—and it is a cornerstone of the conversations and work I share with clients. Outside of my professional life, I am a proud parent of two children, both graduates of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, who have successfully launched into their own independent lives.

Hi. I am an experienced social worker who entered a new professional chapter later in life, returning to train for my LCSW in my 50's. Prior to that, I was a 35 year veteran of hospital based social work which gave me experience working with people in crisis, complex systems, difficult decisions, and human suffering. I believe I have brought that experience into psychotherapy as I am living proof that you don't start from zero when you make a major change and that there is always a solution, even if things look unchangeable. Professionally, I believe that insight without action leads to stagnation and frustration and without a plan of action, clients often become discouraged. Much of my work will involve helping you identify a next right step in addressing challenges.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own. My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

I believe that seeking therapy is one of the most courageous things a person can do. It takes strength to acknowledge that something isn't working and to ask for support in making a change. My approach to therapy is straightforward: I'm here to listen, understand, and work alongside you as you navigate whatever challenges you're facing. Whether you're dealing with anxiety that's affecting your daily life, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or going through a major life transition, my goal is to help you develop the tools and insights you need to move forward.

Hello, Thank you for reviewing my profile. Briefly; I am Licensed Naturopathic Doctor, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I work with adult professional women dealing with anxiety, depression, past unresolved trauma, grief, stress and relationship issues. My philosophy is that we need positive human beings in our lives, to 'see' us and bear witness to our lives. In order for us to be fully human, we need at least one supportive individual who validates the part of us that needs healing. We need meaningful experiences to help us navigate this journey called life. My training as a Naturopathic Doctor affords me a lens to also consider, incorporate and integrate diet & lifestyle practices for your overall well-being. So, if you are tired of being tired, anxious, sad, depressed and you're just going through the motions, feeling stuck in dysfunctional patterns that drain you; AND you are willing to do the work to get well, then you need skilled, compassionate support to help you get unstuck and get your life back on track, so that you can experience purposeful living. As our paths intersect her, I start with the intention that you to "prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers" 3 John 2.

As a long-term provider of mental health, I feel that therapy is very much like coaching. Together we can affect change using the tenets of CBT. I like to work in a brief, short-term and goal-centered approach. Come with an open mind and let us talk about making minor adjustments that can lead to long term changes. My mantra is -- "How can I help?" And if it sounds like a "Zen" like approach to counseling- maybe it is. Feel free to contact me with questions. I also work with athletes on any level to achieve peak performance.

Hello! I’m Crystal a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care.

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.
