Trauma and PTSD
I am not your typical therapist as I started my career in finance and have an undergrad in Business. While I could succeed in this path, I did not find meaning in it. I see becoming a therapist as a calling and not a vocation. I first worked in acute mental health as an advocate, then as an addiction counselor, and eventually after receiving my MSW as a dual diagnosis therapist. I have much empathy for the hurting and have always been drawn to those who have suffered from mental illness, addiction, and the effects of trauma. As such, I have been a mental health advocate, addiction therapist, mental health therapist, trauma therapist, psychiatric director, and behavioral health COO. I feel like I have seen all levels of behavioral health care and use that wealth of experience, resources, and specialized training to help others. I believe that compassion and empathy are keys to change and try my very best to meet you where you are. I also value diversity and have worked with a wide range of the problems that individuals and couples struggle with. Most of all, I am not a respecter of persons and have worked with the homeless to the CEOs of major corporations. I feel that we are all just humans and that we all struggle with similar challenges and problems. I have also worked with a great diversity of people from very diverse cultures and many international clients.

Have you ever looked at your family and thought to yourself (hopefully quietly): "Goodness, our family is so dysfunctional!" "Why can't we just get along, and connect in a healthy and 'normal' way?" If you've asked yourself any of these questions, you've come to the right address. I'm happy to help your family work to become more "functional." In a direct yet gentle way, I ask my clients tough questions and offer them concrete tools to move forward. Clients come away from sessions feeling well understood and empowered.

Licensed Psychotherapist | Culturally Sensitive | Trauma-Informed Welcome, I’m Nubia. Healing doesn’t happen overnight — but with the right support, it absolutely happens. Whether you're working through trauma, betrayal, anxiety, divorce, or simply feeling emotionally stuck, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity, strength, and care. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, or emotional wounds that have been hard to process alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of how to break free from patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we explore the deeper “why” behind those patterns — and create space for healing, resilience, and growth. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These methods help us understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected — and how to gently shift the beliefs that keep you feeling stuck. But beyond technique, I lead with authenticity, compassion, and cultural awareness. In our sessions, you’ll find a space that feels safe, honest, and judgment-free. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re returning to it, you are welcome exactly as you are. Clients often tell me they feel more centered, more empowered, and more hopeful after working together. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and virtual sessions, because healing should fit into real life. If you’re ready to begin your journey — whether you’re clear on your goals or still figuring them out — I’d be honored to support you. Let’s take the first step, together. Warmly, Nubia Anacius , MS,NBCC,LPC Licensed Psychotherapist

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Georgia with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, teens, and families. I have worked with clients on a wide range of issues. I started my career working in child welfare where I worked alongside parents to help them become the best versions of themselves as individuals and as parents. I am experienced in working with parents and teens and helping each person improve those familial relationships. For over a decade, I had the honor of working in medical settings with individuals coping with and adjusting to a new chronic and/or terminal disease diagnosis and with their families as they grapple with their new normal. I have facilitated grief support groups for those who have lost a loved one or experienced a different type of loss. Processing grief is very important and looks different for each individual. I enjoy partnering with clients in finding their way back to joy and purpose after a loss. It is a huge step to seek out therapy. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become” Carl Jung. The choice to “choose what to become” takes incredible courage, strength and perseverance. To help you get there, we will spend time understanding what's keeping you up at night or weighing you down during the day. My aim is to fully support you on this journey whilst always honoring your personal identity and lived experience. I've lived in different parts of the world as both a child and adult and this helps me to be particular sensitive to, and experienced in, cultural/identity issues together with the challenges of transitions, be they geographical, career/retirement, or relationships. I also have extensive experience of helping with addiction. It has been said that addiction is a "feelings disease" and whether it is a substance or behavioral addiction (e.g. gambling, food, spending, sex), I focus on addressing the addiction by resolving the feelings behind it together with providing practical support for long term recovery. Therapy looks different for everyone, and we will collaborate to create a supportive and empowering therapeutic relationship tailored to your specific needs. My clients say I am warm, friendly, easy to both talk to and to confide in. So, if you are facing challenges please do reach out. And thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.

In life we all struggle with our emotional health from time to time and through solution focused and cognitive behavioral counseling I work with you, my client, to resolve these concerns and promote growth. I’m a proud Latina, bicultural, and bilingual (Spanish) counselor who is warm and genuine but also someone who will challenge you to engage in your self-care and self-exploration. Clients often report they feel very comfortable and open with me. My goal is to create a safe space and a working alliance from our very first meeting. I focus on understanding what has affected your life and the resulting emotions. Our focus together is to clear negative thinking and beliefs to shift the way you experience life in a way that works for you. Let's prioritize your mental health. Please reach out and I will promptly get back to you. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Hasta pronto :)

Hi. I’m Christine. It might feel uncomfortable to think of yourself in counseling. Depression can tank motivation. Maybe you're up-in-my-face motivated like a Schnauzer I know with the mail guy. In any case, the change process can require more than shaking the Magic 8-Ball or Stevie Nicks’ tour schedule. If you are too young for those references, I still have your back. You've figured out social media, friends, and even your family don't have all the answers. I don't either, but my job is to help your thoughts not sound like bullies. I will help you authentically connect with improved relationship skills, and I will teach emotional regulation strategies, so your body doesn't feel like it’s being driven by, well, a Schnauzer. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in journalism, gardening, and photography. I am passionate about creating habitats for local wildlife and believe one's relationship with the natural world is impactful to their level of overall wellness. I have taken up kayaking recently and drawn to helping people live their most authentic lives.

Hi there, I'm Kourtney! Congratulations! You have officially taken the first step! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor who is passionate about the therapeutic process and am deeply committed to helping others achieve a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle while discovering and enriching the uniqueness of oneself. I’m very fortunate to have a career where I feel fulfilled and help create a positive change in others. I became a therapist to help others realize that we are all resilient beings capable of functioning better while working alongside life’s challenges. Based on my own experience as an adult, I too have had to learn the appropriate educational tools and coping skills to show up each day at my best …despite life’s hardships. My goal for every one of my clients is to learn different ways to cope with issues by identifying problems that are blocking growth. I strive to assist others on how to alter their ways of thinking and reacting to problems that occur in their lives. I show great effort in normalizing therapy so that we can heal ….as a whole.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

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

Will my therapist take UnitedHealthcare Shared Services?

Yes! If you use UnitedHealthcare Shared Services you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have UnitedHealthcare Shared Services 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.
