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.

Are there things in your life that you want to change to be happier, feel better about yourself, come to terms with things from the past, or have better relationships with others? If you do, I believe that counseling can help you achieve the kind of life you want to have. I'm a clinical psychologist specializing in treatment of post traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and I am trained in multiple types of therapies. I'm originally from Oregon, but I have spent most of my adult life in Texas and a few years overseas in Asia and Europe. In addition to private practice, I have been a military psychologist, Veterans Affairs psychologist, PTSD clinic director, Psycho-Social Rehabilitation clinic director, and adjunct clinical assistant professor at UT Health medical school, as well as participating in major research projects in treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. I believe that therapy is a science as well as an art, and I have found that my knowledge of clinical research can greatly improve the results of counseling. I have found that counseling can be very effective at helping people make the kinds of changes that they desire in their lives, help them to have a healthier sense of self, more satisfying relationships with others, and a better quality of life. I'm confident that you can meet your goals with a bit of work and the right treatment plan.

Sometimes people experience emotional problems (e.g., anxiety, depression), behavioral problems (e.g., overeating, smoking), or relationship problems (e.g., excessive arguing, poor communication) that interfere with their daily functioning. These difficulties result from the interaction of biological, learning, behavioral, and environmental factors, which influence patterns of thinking and behaving. Negative life events can contribute to the development of self-defeating patterns of thinking and behaving, which some people can have difficulty changing. In my work, which I have been practicing for 42 years, I help people identify these self-defeating patterns and develop strategies for dealing with them. I emphasize the importance of practicing these strategies consistently, with the goal of handling emotions more effectively and behaving in more responsible and healthy ways. I focus on life pattern changes with respect to relationships, depression, anxiety, anger control, impulse control, and stress management.

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.

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 Substance Use Disorder. 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.

I offer a warm, collaborative approach to therapy, drawing from Motivational Interviewing, REBT, mindfulness, and DBT to help you build practical skills for life’s challenges. I believe in meeting you where you are and working together to identify your strengths and create meaningful change. When I’m not in session, I’m at home with my spouse and our two cats, who remind me daily about the importance of presence and self-compassion.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I decided to start a career in mental health because a therapist saved my life when I was a teenager. I have dedicated my life to helping others in the same way, and I truly believe it is my calling. I have been a therapist/counselor for 7 years, and I have been working in the mental health field for 10 years. I will do everything within my ability to help improve your overall mood and quality of life in general. I offer traditional talk therapy, which includes a mixture of CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and person-centered therapy. I am an EMDR-trained clinician. EMDR can be used to treat a variety of mental health concerns.

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. I am opening up limited appointment times for virtual counseling as of mid May 2024.

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 Coping Skills?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Coping Skills, is filtering therapists in Alabama that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.
