***Please note that although Grow allows clients to schedule their own intakes, I require an initial free 15-minute phone consultation before treatment begins. The purpose of this call is to establish if we're a good fit in regard to style and goals. If we are not able to have that phone consultation at least one day before the intake, I will have to reschedule the intake. Thank you for understanding!*** Let's take a moment to acknowledge you being here! Thank you for finding your way to me, and I hope we can work together to help you make meaningful change in your life. I'm Albert Xiong (he/him/his), and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with 6 years of experience providing affirming therapy services to a wide variety of clients across multiple settings. As a gay, Chinese American, myself, I get what it's like to navigate facets of our identities that can sometimes feel at odds. After a career of providing services to disenfranchised folks on Medi-Cal, students in a high-achieving high school in the Bay Area, and a small agency, I've found that fostering trusting and supportive relationships goes a long way in being a therapist. In the (virtual) therapy room, you can expect me to be an animated and relatively lighthearted therapist; I pride myself on bringing my genuine self into our therapeutic relationship, and my genuine self is someone who's curious and playful. Milton Erickson said, "patients have grim enough lives, let's not give them grim therapy, too." And while I resonate deeply with this quote, you can expect me to always supply the respect and compassion you deserve when you decide to share about something grim.

If you feel stuck in a cycle of overthinking, self-doubt, or pressure to hold everything together, you are not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by their own thoughts, and together, we work on creating a clearer path forward. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel truly seen and supported while also gaining the skills to create lasting change. Outside of the office, you can usually find me working on a home reno project or cooking up a new recipe. As an LMFT, I specialize in working with individuals to navigate anxiety, burnout, or life transitions. My approach is collaborative and open-minded. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns that keep you stuck, providing you with practical, evidence-based tools to feel more in control of your daily life.

I provide a supportive, collaborative space for individuals seeking meaningful and lasting change. I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming and I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to take that first step. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect, with a strong belief that each person has the capacity for growth when given the right environment and tools. I take an integrative approach to treatment, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and person-centered principles. This allows me to tailor each session to your unique needs, balancing emotional support with practical strategies you can use in your daily life. Together, we will explore patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while identifying clear, achievable steps toward your goals and creating space to re-author personal narratives and foster lasting change. I work well with both teens and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck, particularly those navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, complex relationships, or major life transitions. Many of my clients are highly capable but struggling with burnout, boundary-setting, or feeling pulled in multiple directions. I also provide an affirming, inclusive, and judgment-free space for individuals within the LGBTQ community to explore identity, relationships, and life experiences safely and authentically. My goal is to help you feel more in control, more aligned with your values, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. Therapy with me is both a place to be understood and a place to grow. I welcome you to reach out for a consultation so we can explore how I can support you.

You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone Life gets hard. Really hard. And when it does, most of us try to push through on our own — until we can't anymore. I get it. I've spent my career sitting with people in their hardest moments, and I know how much it matters to feel truly heard. That's what I'm here for. Getting older isn't easy — for you or for the people who love you. Whether you're facing a health crisis, losing your independence, or watching someone you love change before your eyes, the emotional weight can be overwhelming. I work with adults and families to help make sense of it all. Grief is its own kind of exhaustion. It doesn't follow a schedule, and it doesn't look the same for everyone. Whether you've lost a person, a role, a relationship, or the future you planned on— your loss is real, and it deserves real time and attention. I am a therapist and social worker with over 10 years experience working in oncology, palliative care and hospice. Some days you need someone to just listen. Other days you want straight talk and a plan. I am practical, down-to-earth, personal and kind. Taking that first step to reach out takes courage. If any of this sounds like what you've been looking for, I'd love to hear from you. I invite you to give me a call for a free 15-minute consultation. We can talk about your needs and how I can help.

I view human beings through a lens of compassion, meaning, and balance. I believe that the ways we understand ourselves are shaped by our relationships, culture, and societal constructs, and that these influences play a significant role in how we make meaning of our experiences. At my core, I believe people are inherently capable of growth, even when pain, trauma, or circumstance have led them away from their values. I recognize the dualities that exist within life—the coexistence of light and darkness, suffering and healing, strength and vulnerability—and I believe that love serves as the canvas upon which our lives unfold. While experiences can cultivate resilience, wisdom, and character, they can also leave lasting wounds. For this reason, I value helping others move toward balance, self-understanding, and healing, believing that equilibrium is often the safest and most sustainable place from which to live and grow.

Hello, I’m Kim Paylor, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), school counselor, and clinical supervisor with a diverse background in mental health, education, case management, and student support services. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with children, teens, adults, veterans, families, and young adults across school, community, and clinical settings. My experience includes working as a school counselor, special education resource teacher, therapist in private practice and telehealth settings, and clinical case manager within the HUD-VASH program supporting veterans. Prior to entering the mental health field, I also spent many years working in customer service, payroll, human resources, and university settings, which has given me a strong understanding of life stressors, workplace challenges, relationships, parenting, and major life transitions. I bring warmth, compassion, authenticity, and real-world understanding into the counseling relationship. I specialize in anxiety, emotional wellness, trauma-informed care, self-esteem, stress management, and helping clients develop healthier coping skills, emotional resilience, and greater confidence in themselves and their lives. My strongest area of focus is supporting adolescents, teens, and adults between the ages of 11–45. My therapeutic style is highly person-centered, supportive, and collaborative. While I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, I strive to create a counseling experience that feels approachable, practical, empowering, and genuinely supportive rather than overly clinical or judgmental. I believe therapy works best when clients feel truly heard, valued, and comfortable being themselves. I often incorporate guidance, emotional support, skill-building, and strengths-based strategies to help clients not only process challenges, but also build confidence, self-awareness, resilience, and practical tools they can apply in everyday life. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel supported, empowered, and encouraged as they work toward healing, balance, and meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Adam. I believe every person is born with an innate capacity to grow, heal, and create a meaningful life. Sometimes, painful experiences or unsupportive environments block that natural capacity, leaving us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. When this happens, I view your symptoms not as failures, but as purposeful signals calling for deeper attention. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, trained at Pepperdine University. My path to this work was informed by a significant "first act" in the global business world, navigating international licensing for entertainment and intellectual property. Living and working across Europe and Australia provided me with a firsthand understanding of high-stakes environments, cultural adaptation, and the universal search for identity. This background allows me to offer a grounded, real-world perspective to clients balancing demanding careers with a desire for emotional depth. In my practice, I support adults working through anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and relationship challenges. My approach is client-centered and highly experiential. Rather than just analyzing the past, we gently shift attention to what you are experiencing right now in your body. Drawing from EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we work to reconnect fragmented pieces of your experience to rebuild a sense of safety. For couples, I blend PACT and EFT to help partners co-regulate and build secure, resilient relationships. Therapy isn’t about fixing you; it’s about uncovering the capabilities you already carry. It is a privilege to offer a steady presence where we can slow down and help your true self flourish. I’m here and ready whenever you are.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other mental health concerns. I understand how difficult it can be to seek support especially when struggling with the fear of being seen as weak or facing the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use. As someone who grew up in a culture where mental health was not openly discussed, I value creating that safe and nonjudgmental environment for my clients to allow themselves to be vulnerable. My goal is to help you build insight, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen self-confidence, and create meaningful, lasting changes that improve your overall quality of life.

I have been privileged being a therapist for over 40 years. I have worked as a probation officer, child protection worker and directer of various treatment programs. I have also been in therapy which gives me a perspective of the the value of therapy as both a client and therapist. I enjoy working with folks in the recovery community, first responders and those who had traumatic childhoods. I respect the courage it takes to ask for help. I treat your courage with honor and dignity.

Life can feel overwhelming when past experiences continue to show up as anxiety, stress, or emotional exhaustion. You may notice patterns that don’t make sense, feel stuck in survival mode, or carry a heaviness you can’t quite name. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s beneath the surface, and begin responding to life with more clarity and self-compassion. You don’t have to navigate difficult seasons alone—healing is possible, and support can make the path forward feel more steady and manageable.

My approach integrates Person-Centered Expressive Arts Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness, DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing, active imagination, systems theory, and solution-focused therapy. I believe healing involves more than changing thoughts alone. Research on neuroplasticity shows the brain and nervous system can form new pathways throughout life, creating opportunities for meaningful emotional and behavioral change. Therapy can support not only insight, but also emotional regulation, self-compassion, nervous system balance, creativity, and resilience. I work collaboratively and compassionately, welcoming all parts of you into the therapeutic process. Together, we may explore thoughts, emotions, body awareness, imagination, patterns shaped by past experiences, and practical tools that support lasting growth and healing. You do not need to be “artistic” to benefit from expressive arts therapy.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in California. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take Evernorth?

Yes! If you use Evernorth you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Evernorth 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 happens during the first therapy 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.
