As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work, Pupil Personnel Services Credential (PPSC), and an Administrative Services Credential in progress, I bring extensive experience supporting youth, young adults, and families across clinical, school-based, and community settings. My professional background includes mental health counseling, crisis intervention, clinical supervision, program development, and leadership in student mental health and wellness. Throughout my career, I have grown from providing direct clinical services to leading teams, developing programs, supervising clinicians, and helping shape systems that support the social-emotional and mental health needs of young people. This experience has strengthened my ability to see the whole person, understand the systems that impact their lives, and help clients identify practical ways to navigate challenges and create meaningful change. My philosophy is simple: I’m not here to solve your problems for you. I’m here to walk alongside you, help you recognize your strengths, and support you throughout your healing and growth.

Hi, I'm Judith ("Judy") Rojas. One thing I've learned in life is that change is constant, but navigating it can feel overwhelming. You don't have to go through it alone. I provide a safe, supportive space where you can gain clarity, develop insight, and strengthen your sense of self. During our first session, my goal is to get to know you, understand what brings you to therapy, and learn about the goals you'd like to work toward. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about the therapy process and explore whether we're a good fit for working together. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward growth, healing, and positive change.

I’m a compassionate and genuine therapist who believes that people are capable of meaningful growth, healing, and change—even when life feels overwhelming or they feel stuck. I bring warmth, empathy, and curiosity into my work, creating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment. My approach is grounded not only in professional training, but also in the variety of life experiences that have shaped me. I understand that life rarely follows a straight path, and sometimes we need someone who can sit with us in the hard places while also helping us find a way forward. I work collaboratively with my clients, meeting you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be. At the heart of my work is a genuine desire to make a difference in people’s lives. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they gain insight, build healthier patterns, navigate difficult seasons, and become more fully who they want to be.

My name is Marie Patterson and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of experience helping people navigate trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety. I have extensive experience as a social worker and in the education system supporting children, adolescence, and young adults although this means that I have spent a lot of time supporting adults, parents, and caregivers as well. I use an integrative, person-centered approach while my clinical work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TF-CBT) therapy, Solution-Focused, mindfulness, play therapy, and creative expression. I view therapy as a collaborative process where we can work together to explore difficult emotions, develop self-awareness, and build tools for communication and self-empowerment. On a personal note, I am a mother of two young children navigating the joys and challenges of parenthood. I enjoy spending as much time as I can outside, hiking, doing yoga, working out, reading and baking.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who understands that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable—especially when you are used to handling everything on your own. You may be feeling anxious, discouraged, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or simply aware that something in your life needs to change. You do not need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. My style is warm, honest, collaborative, and practical. Therapy is your journey, and you remain at the center of it. My role is to walk alongside you—offering a safe place to speak openly, meaningful insight, and practical support as you create lasting change and move toward a life that feels healthier, more connected, and authentically yours. .I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and attachment-based approaches, tailoring our work to your needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Together, we can better understand what is keeping you stuck, recognize your strengths, and develop tools that help you feel more regulated and attuned.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I received my Masters from California State University, Fresno and have been practicing for 30+ years. I love helping people who feel stuck in life due to anxiety and depression. I help clients develop self-insight based on their strengths and areas of interest. By doing so, they are able to overcome negative thoughts and self-defeating behaviors and to identify goals to move toward. I use a variety of therapy modalities, some of which are described below. In addition to the ones described, I use art interventions frequently. Although I am not a certified art therapist, I received a great deal of training in neurodevelopmental art therapy with Linda Chapman.

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.

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.

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.
