I specialize in working with clients who are motived, courageous, and open to exploring their inner world. My goal is to help others achieve their goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and better understand themselves. My approach is person centered and trauma-informed, with a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral and strengths based therapies. Even if clients are not quite sure what that looks like. I help clients by navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or life transitions. Most people are overwhelmed by pressure. What they tend to want most is clarity, peace, and to feel more connected. They're seeking safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts freely and begin to moe toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.

I’m Jonaĩ, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Alabama. I am also a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist. Grounded in creativity, nature, and connection, I bring those values into my work. I help women navigate the transitions of adulthood—especially when grief, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion start to feel overwhelming. In our first session, we'll focus on you: what you've been carrying, what you need right now, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned and sustainable. Healing doesn't have to be rushed—we'll take it one step at a time. I believe you already carry strength—even on the days it doesn’t feel that way. Our work together is about honoring what you’ve survived while gently tending to the parts of you that still need care. We’ll reconnect you with the truest version of yourself and move toward healing in a way that feels safe, freeing, and unhurried. If you’ve spent a lifetime being the strong one, this is your permission to exhale. You deserve support that honors where you’ve been and who you are becoming. If this resonates, consider this your invitation to step into a space created with care, intention, and you in mind.

I once told a friend that finding the "right" therapist (one that they would mesh well with) is similar to dating; it can be slightly uncomfortable until they find the right fit. Because I understand that seeking assistance to address individual, couple, or family issues is a deeply personal & brave process, I provide a compassionate and trusting environment to all my clients. I believe that therapy is a goal-directed, collaborative process between therapist and client(s). I can assist in helping you identify needs/goals, processing unresolved feelings/experiences, & successfully reaching your established goals in a timely manner. I enjoy and have years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, & groups, helping them improve their quality of life as well as strengthen their relationships. I am most experienced in the areas of Anxiety, Depression, Mental Health, Personal Relationships, and Addiction. I've had the opportunity provide therapy in an array of settings, including a community mental health center and an intensive outpatient substance use disorder facility, and private practice.

Hi there! I'm Elizabeth. I understand how daunting it can feel to take the first step into therapy.

I want you to know that those feelings are completely valid, and you don't have to face them alone. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. We'll work collaboratively to ensure our goals align with your values and needs. I use evidence-based techniques tailored to you, and you'll receive ongoing support, feedback, and encouragement every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Alabama rather than a city like Huntsville?

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

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.
