I obtained my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Loma Linda University and have a decade of diverse experience providing services to clients of varying age groups. I have worked in nonprofit, private practice, primary care, and acute care medical settings. As a therapist I consider it an honor to navigate life alongside my clients and enjoy creating a therapeutic space that is warm, compassionate, and empowering. My approach is an eclectic blend of therapeutic perspectives, evidenced based practices, and environmental considerations tailored to address your unique needs. I am passionate about therapy being a collaborative process and often incorporate mindfulness based techniques, thought exercises, practical problem solving, curiosity, and humor into my sessions. Additionally, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) which allows me to assist in exploring how painful past experiences may be negatively impacting your current functioning. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, work/school stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and grief support. My sincere hope is that working together will facilitate self-discovery and healing, resulting in greater enjoyment of your everyday life. *Please note, I am unable to assist w/paperwork including disability forms, court docs, school forms, etc.*

Greetings, I'm Anita Smith! If this is your first time seeking help, I would like to commend you for your courage, and if you have had therapy before, I hope I say something that connects for you. I'm curious to know what brought you here and what you would like to get out of therapy? I specialize in helping individuals cope with the different kinds of losses: 1) Primary losses - the death of a loved one, friend or pet, break-up, separation, divorce, loss of job, loss of money, the victim of a crime and losses due to Covid19 2)Secondary losses - moving, illness, changes and success; 3) Limbo losses - Covid 19, waiting for the outcome of a test result, a lawsuit, separation, not knowing the outcome; 4) Complicated losses - primary, secondary and limbo losses going on at the same time. The reactions to loss could be feeling of anxiety, depression, helpless, fearful, emptiness, despair, pessimistic, irritability, anger, guilty, restlessness, loss of concentration, hope, motivation, energy, change in appetite, sleep pattern and a tendency to be more fatigued and error prone. Are you experiencing any of those feelings? I also work with individuals who desire prayer before our sessions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas for 25+ years, a National Certified Counselor (NCC) for 35+ years, and a Board Certified Coach (BCC) for 10 years.

Hey there! I'm Ryan. Do you feel like other therapists haven't been able to help? Have you noticed little to no progress in therapy before? I help people understand themselves and their challenges in light of their family dynamics. With a background in eco-systemic family therapy, I can spot things quickly that sometimes takes weeks for others to see. I have also lived in Argentina, and am fluent in Spanish. Together, we can use a holistic approach to manage your physical and mental health. I specialize in anxiety, depression, attachment and PTSD; I also have a special interest in faith-based counseling. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but this is the right decision. You deserve a safe space where you can be yourself without judgment. In our sessions together, I'll use evidence-based approaches to get you to progress quickly. Let's get started!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Arizona rather than a city like Phoenix?

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

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 Self Esteem?

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, Self Esteem, is filtering therapists in Arizona 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.
