Hello! I'm Patricia. Thank you for visiting my profile. Grief enters our lives uninvited and its impact can continue to effect us for years. It may have been the death of a loved one, either recent or long ago. It may have been a divorce or the break up of a romantic relationship. It may have been the loss of a treasured pet, or any of the more than forty other losses that a person can encounter in a lifetime. Regardless of the cause of your broken heart, you know that life is not as happy or fulfilling as you want it to be. Often, well-meaning people say to "be strong" or "just give it time" which can leave us feeling like we are doing something wrong or should feel differently. Sometimes, we simply tuck our feelings away, hoping that they will eventually disappear. In our sessions, we will uncover the misinformation and beliefs that keep us stuck and unhappy. Unresolved grief stems from the things we wish we'd said or done differently, better or more. You will learn how to discover and communicate those unsaid things, so that they no longer limit you or affect your capacity for happiness.

Hello! My name is Lee Owen, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy in Tennessee. My focus is serving young adults and adults navigating life transitions. I believe that the emotions we are most tempted to run away from– fear, grief, anger– exist to tell us about the kind of life we want. I help clients learn to identify and listen to their emotions rather than being overwhelmed or shut down. I use evidence-based approaches to treat depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and eating disorders. We will also work together to increase mindfulness and self-compassion and strengthen the relationships in your life.

Starting therapy is a brave step, and I want you to feel seen, supported, and respected as you take it. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee, I offer both in-person and telehealth services for adults who are navigating life’s challenges and transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in proven methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These approaches help clients notice and work through unhelpful thoughts and emotions, while also clarifying what truly matters most to them. I believe lasting change happens when we align decisions and behaviors with our values, even when life feels heavy or uncertain. I often work with women’s issues, grief, anxiety, and the unique dynamics of blended families. Whether you’re adjusting to a new season of life, carrying the weight of loss, or feeling stuck in old patterns, my goal is to help you discover tools, insights, and courage to move forward. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” who you are—it’s about building resilience, deepening self-acceptance, and creating a more meaningful life. Clients describe my style as compassionate yet straightforward. I will encourage you, but I will also gently challenge you when needed, because I believe growth often happens at the edge of our comfort zones. My counseling room—whether on a porch swing in East Tennessee or on a telehealth screen—is a safe and steady space for you to bring your whole self. If you’re ready to explore new ways of coping, connect more deeply with your values, and take steps toward the life you want, I would be honored to walk with you on that journey.

Hi I’m Corrie and I’m so glad you’re here! Welcome to my page. I’m a Washington native, currently loving life in Tennessee where country music, sunshine, and southern charm are plentiful! My favorite things include: my 3 miracle IVF babies, my dog Bruno the mini-bernadoodle, crossfit, traveling, cooking, and spending time with my family/friends. Although I have supported hundreds of clients in a variety of treatment settings over the last 15+ years, I found my calling in working with women/women’s issues after experiencing my own personal journey with infertility, the subsequent joys/frustrations of navigating motherhood, and grieving the loss of my younger sister. Bloom (noun) - A beautiful process of becoming was the inspiration behind founding my practice. It is a reflection of both my desire for women to see their full potential, worth, and value while also recognizing that growth is possible no matter what you might be facing! Whether it be navigating motherhood, infertility, relationships, work/life balance, depression, anxiety, or grief, I am here to help and would love to walk alongside you on your journey!

My approach blends compassion with evidence-based practices to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for growth and self-discovery. Through our work together, clients gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and build the confidence to create lasting positive change in their lives.

Hi, I’m Amy. I live in Missouri with my husband, our sweet dog, and two very sassy cats who keep life lively. Being both a military spouse and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker has shaped who I am, both personally and professionally. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and families through life’s many transitions, challenges, and seasons of growth. My journey into social work began with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Alaska, followed by a master’s from the University of Maine. For more than 20 years, I’ve been walking alongside people as they navigate anxiety, trauma, infertility, grief, and the everyday pressures of life. What I love most about this work is creating a safe, supportive space where people can feel heard, understood, and empowered to reconnect with themselves. At the heart of my approach is the belief that healing is possible—and that resilience can grow even in the most difficult circumstances. Whether we’re working through painful past experiences or exploring new ways to cope with stress, my goal is to help you find hope, balance, and a deeper sense of self.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Tennessee rather than a city like Nashville?

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

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.

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.
