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.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck—unsure how to manage strong emotions or handle challenging situations with confidence. My name is Clint, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Florida and Alabama. I specialize in helping adults who feel emotionally exhausted, struggle with self-doubt, or feel trapped in negative thought patterns. Often, feeling overwhelmed comes from believing you have to control every emotion or handle every challenge perfectly. In therapy, I help clients learn how to accept difficult emotions as a natural part of life rather than something to fear or avoid. Together, we work on identifying and challenging negative self-talk, building healthier coping skills, and developing the self-confidence needed to navigate difficult emotions and challenging life situations with greater clarity and resilience. My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you feel more capable—not just in the moment, but long term. Therapy is not about having all the answers right away; it’s about creating space to better understand yourself and respond to life with more confidence and self-compassion. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. The first session is simply a chance for us to talk, explore what’s been weighing on you, and see if working together feels like the right fit—without pressure or expectations. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to support you.

I am passionate about walking alongside individuals, children, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, balance, and emotional well-being. I believe that meaningful change happens in safe, supportive relationships where people feel seen, heard, and valued. My counseling approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I work from the belief that each person already carries resilience within them, even during seasons of stress, transition, or emotional pain. Rather than focusing solely on problems, I help clients identify their inner strengths, nurture self-compassion, and build practical tools that support emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and overall well-being. I have specialized training and experience working with children and families, particularly in areas related to early childhood mental health, attachment, trauma, and parenting support. I also support adults who may be experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm. My work is grounded in connection, collaboration, and respect for each client’s unique story, background, and values. At Heart of the Matter Counseling, my goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences at their own pace. I view counseling as a partnership and honor each client as the expert of their own life.

I'm Cherysh Caldwell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Georgia and Alabama. I work with adults who are capable, accomplished, and quietly carrying more than the people around them realize — navigating burnout, anxiety, life transitions, and the particular weight that comes from living and leading in systems that demand a great deal and don't always give much back. My path to this work is not a straight line. Before clinical practice, I spent years working at the intersection of people and systems — as an educator, a nonprofit executive, a public administrator, and a local government leader. That background shapes everything about how I work. I don't just see the person in front of me. I see the environments, relationships, and pressures that shaped them. I bring that same depth to therapy — creating a space that is honest, affirming, and grounded in the belief that sustainable wellbeing has to be intentionally designed. If you are ready to stop managing and start building something different, I'd be glad to work with you.

My strongest ability lies in helping a client identify strengths and weaknesses while guiding them to identify goals and interventions that will work specifically for them. The most challenging part of therapy is believing it will make a difference. The best way to overcome that hurdle is to see successful outcomes. Clinical experience has taught me that if you are willing to do the work, you will see results. Using the appropriate interventions, combined with mutual openness, respect and trust will enable you to overcome obstacles and achieve goals you didn't believe possible. Through years of dedicated work with all age groups, life experiences and extremely challenging circumstances, I have developed a strong sense of commitment in creating a safe and supportive environment that fosters healing, self-awareness and growth.

My name is Bill Massey and I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in west central Georgia and east central Alabama. I graduated from the University of Georgia's MSW program in 1993 and became an LCSW in 1996. I have worked in home health and hospice for most of my career with a strong emphasis on geriatrics and dementia care. I have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and residential services as well. I am looking to fill a niche that I have seen wanting attention for some time. For many years I have seen elders and their families in their homes but had to refer out any counseling other than crisis intervention to outpatient therapists. The problem is that I have been referring homebound people for outpatient therapy. This is not effective for many reasons. With the help of Grow Therapy, I intend to offer my services of counseling and case management to people in the comfort of their own homes. I will become a mobile mental health provider to serve a population that has gone largely underserved for all too long. My coverage area for in-home therapy will be Lee, Russell, and Chambers counties in Alabama as well as Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris Counties in Georgia.

Greetings: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Dothan, Alabama. I have worked in the field of Social Work since 1999. For the first 12 years of my career, I worked for Houston County Department of Human Resources working with families experiencing issues related to abuse and neglect. Since 2011, I have worked in the field of mental health in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. My treatment approach is to meet the client where they are in their given situation and to provide the best help that I can provide. My focus in treatment is to help the client identify and process their emotions and to help the client learn coping skills that they can apply to their situation. The specific treatment modalities that I utilize during the course of treatment are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Supportive Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I feel that I can be of assistance to anyone in need of counseling services. I can offer the flexibility needed for clients, especially in the age of COVID-19. I look forward to serving clients and providing the best intervention possible.

Hey! I am Renata. If you are here, you are probably contemplating change. My favorite quote is "tradition is the enemy of progress." There will not be sustained change without addressing potential problems in the way we have traditionally approached our circumstances. If you are open to stepping outside of traditional patterns, you may be ready for a journey of change.

Are you struggling with anxiety? don’t seem to manage your daily task, difficulty adjusting to changes? Do you feel misunderstood and find yourself being frustrated? There is hope. You will learn effective communication skills that work to deliver your message to others with no room for misunderstand. Moreover, by understanding yourself and gaining insight, you will be able to take the control over your life. You have the choice to change the direction of the course of your life. At times, certain behaviors do not serve you any longer. Even behaviors that you assume to be ‘good’ such as pleasing people, being flexible, being considerate, can impact you negatively. It takes a great amount of courage to be able to acknowledge this and learn the tools to prioritize oneself. Let me help you pour and fill your cup first so you can be there for your loved ones. My goal as a clinician is to assist my clients to a point, they no longer need me, to be self-sufficient. You will feel confident to take the driver seat of your life and use the tools you have learned or discovered to help you navigate obstacles as they come up. Over 10 years of clinical experience has thought me that you are the expert of your life. As an expert, you will be acknowledged and accepted unconditionally. I take a Person Center Approach and use Cognitive Behavioral Theory in most cases. I also combine other approached as I see fit to the individual needs. I am here to guide you uncover your own strength, inner powers, and self-worth.

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 EAP:Cigna?

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