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.

Hi, I’m Emily Fox, LCSW. With more than ten years of experience in the mental health, trauma and addictions field. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience into the therapy space. I work primarily with adults (18+) who are navigating challenges such as addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, postpartum mental health, parenting and motherhood, and persistent co-occurring diagnoses. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and walk beside you on your journey of healing and growth. My approach is strengths-based and whole-person focused. I believe that real change happens when we make space for your entire story—your struggles, your resilience, and your potential. Clients often describe me as compassionate, authentic, and down-to-earth. In our sessions, I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to explore whatever you are carrying, without fear of judgment. I am trained in a wide range of evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, ACT, REBT, EFT, CPT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Traumatic Incident Reduction, and more. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model—together, we’ll collaborate on an approach that best fits your goals and needs. What fuels my passion for this work is my own path of personal recovery. That experience allows me to bring not only clinical skill but also genuine empathy to the therapeutic relationship. I know what it feels like to want change but not know where to begin, and I honor the courage it takes to take that first step. If you are looking for a therapist who will support you with compassion, honesty, and effective tools, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and transformation.

Hello there! My name is Elizabeth Taylor and I am in Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have been working as a counselor for the past 9 years, although I have been working in the mental health field for much longer. I began working as a Mental Health Technician when I was an Airman in the United States Air Force in 2007. I worked closely with military men and women returning from deployments and experiencing symptoms of PTSD. I led Anger Management and Stress Management groups. This experience grew my desire to enter into a field that involved helping those struggling with mental health challenges to find healing. I separated from the Air Force and went into grad school. Since graduating, I have worked as a therapist with several different populations, including families involved with the foster care system, adult inmates in a prison, youth in the Juvenile Justice system, adults in community mental health, children in the school setting, and, most recently, adults and children in private practice. I have a passion for working with those suffering with anxiety, OCD, and trauma. I have specialized training in EMDR to help treat trauma, as well as ERP, which has been shown to be the "Gold Standard" treatment for OCD. I am also certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which guides much of my approach to emotion regulation.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Struggling with relationships or making decisions? Life can often feel out of control. Therapy can help. Finding the right therapist matters so here's a little about me to help you decide. As a teenager, I often wished for someone outside my family or friends—someone who would truly listen without judgment, a sounding board to help me navigate life’s decisions. That experience inspired me to become that person for others. For over 11 years, I’ve worked as a psychotherapist, supporting clients through relationship challenges, anxiety and depression, career transitions, neurodivergence, parenting, burnout, and spiritual or existential questions. Every person is unique, which is why I take a collaborative and compassionate approach—tailoring evidence-based techniques to your specific needs and goals. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you. You are worthy!

Do you often feel overwhelmed by your surroundings or uncertain about where you truly belong? Do crowded places leave you overstimulated and drained? Perhaps you avoid social situations, struggle to focus, or experience constant mental fog. You might be questioning if you have ADHD or autism, or you might already know and you are seeking someone who understands your experiences. Anxiety might increase with routine changes, leaving you feeling stuck and unable to complete tasks despite your efforts. You may catch yourself wishing to escape or needing someone to truly listen. If you relate to any of this, remember you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it by yourself.

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 OptumHealth Complex Medical Conditions?

Yes! If you use OptumHealth Complex Medical Conditions you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have OptumHealth Complex Medical Conditions 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.
