I want to help you find you remember who you are. By helping you navigate the situations in your life that are preventing you from living a life of joy, by assisting you in resolving trauma while finding compassion for yourself and by teaching you some new skills, you can move forward in your life on your terms and return to your true nature. Finding balance in your mind, body, energy and spirit will help you to not only care for yourself, but to also care for others with ease, joy and creativity. As a seasoned, experienced therapist, I offer a unique experience blending a practical, interactive, intuitive, holistic, solution-focused therapy experience. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients to help resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. Incorporating a blend of conventional and alternatives approaches and drawing upon a variety of styles and techniques will create the solutions that that will be most helpful for each client. Practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Developmental Psychology, Neuroscience, Brainspotting, Yoga philosophy, Meditation and Mindfulness practice, Ayurvedic medicine, spirituality, energy work and general wellness strategies combine to offer an integrative, holistic approach. With sensitivity, patience, compassion, humor and perspective, we will work cooperatively together to help build on your strengths, resolve trauma and return to balance and joy.

I fell in love with psychological studies in high school. Becoming a therapist has fulfilled my curiosity about human existence and my quest for happiness. I used therapy to overcome my own struggle with fears, shame, and self-doubt, which has affirmed my faith in the helping profession. I have learned through training and personal experiences that all human beings have the same basic quests in life and that we all deserve a chance to develop our unique potential, contribute uniquely to the tapestry of life, and be happy. I have also learned that human growth can only lead to spiritual development and discovery. My growth in understanding the common threads of humanity helps me treat my clients with respect and compassion. I have had extensive training in CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, trauma-focused, and insight-oriented therapies. My inclination is to use an integrated approach that meets clients where they are and helps propel them forward to achieve their objectives.

Welcome! I'm {Emmanuel Nzuzu}. I want to thank you sincerely for reaching out to me. Congratulations for taking this crucial 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, structured, and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore challenges and obstacles with concerns related to alcohol and drug addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients to regain control by taking back their power from alcohol and drugs. I facilitate client transformation by assisting them to learn how to be guided by a vision of the future and not memories of the past. My clients often find it beneficial to 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.

I’m the therapist people find when things feel “too much”, too complicated, too stuck, or too long ignored. I work best with challenging cases because I don’t shy away from the hard stuff: patterns that keep repeating, relationships that won’t shift, emotions that show up like tidal waves. I’m open, straightforward, and never judgmental. You’ll always know where you stand with me, no jargon, no sugarcoating, and no pretending. My approach is Gestalt: present-focused, experiential, and deeply human. We pay attention to what’s happening right now your thoughts, body, emotions, and the space between us, so we can see your patterns. Intense emotions (anxiety, anger, shame) that spike fast or linger Repeating conflict in relationships; weak or wobbly boundaries Attachment wounds, complex/relational trauma, or family-of-origin stress Feeling split between who you are and how you act (values vs. habits) High-functioning on the outside, exhausted or disconnected inside If you’re reading this because things feel heavy, hi. I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out can be awkward, scary, or just… a lot. You don’t have to have the perfect words. You don’t have to explain everything at once. I’ll meet you with openness, straightforward feedback, and zero judgment.

My path to becoming a mental health provider started with a deep interest in understanding people’s inner worlds and how early experiences shape who we become. I’ve always been drawn to helping others feel seen, heard, and supported, especially during difficult times. Throughout my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work in community mental health and high school counseling settings. Those experiences exposed me to a wide range of clients, from young adults navigating identity & stress to individuals coping with long-standing patterns of emotional pain. I found myself drawn to working with clients who experienced depression and anxiety because these conditions can be so isolating & yet so treatable with the right kind of support.

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.
