I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as you work toward healing and growth.

My name is Kathy and I have 8 years of therapy experience and 17 years of social work experience. Trauma or difficult dynamics with caregivers can leave us feeling hurt, angry, confused, or anxious. We also might feel like we don't know ourselves, like everything is our fault, that we have to be perfect, or like bad things are bound to happen. Trauma can get played out in our relationships which can cause conflict, confusion, and hurt. Because trauma happened in relationships, it can be healed in relationship. In my work with clients, I try and create a sense of safety, care, and emotional warmth so we can begin the important work of healing. These elements can give people a restorative experience where they can express feelings and truly feel held and seen. I also use a psychodynamic lens; looking at the past and childhood to make sense of current feelings and behaviors. This perspective also involves looking toward the unconscious to help reveal important themes and emotional needs. I value a collaborative and strengths-based approach, working together to build on your strengths to work towards ways in which you hope to grow, change, expand or explore important themes in your life. Together, we can work toward creating a more stable or stronger core sense of self. I’m also newly trained in EMDR and have found this incredibly helpful for clients needing to reprocess difficult experiences and memories. In my sessions, I’m hoping clients will feel my authenticity, sincerity, warmth, and humor. I hope to create a space where people look forward to coming and spending time together as we explore and make space for healing and self discovery.

My name is Javi Gonzalez, and I am a Hispanic therapist originally from Mexico. My personal and professional background has shaped the way I connect with clients, especially men from the Latino/Hispanic community who are navigating addiction, cultural identity, family expectations, relationship conflict, anxiety, and stress. I understand that many Latino men are taught to stay strong, keep problems private, and carry emotional pain alone. In therapy, I work to create a space where clients can be honest without feeling judged. My style is direct, respectful, practical, and compassionate. I believe clients deserve both support and honest feedback as they work toward meaningful change. My own life experiences have given me a deep respect for resilience, survival, and the effort it takes to build a different future. I know that issues like poverty, cultural pressure, family responsibility, community violence, immigration experiences, and addiction can deeply affect how a person sees themselves and relates to others. I help clients identify unhealthy patterns, develop better coping skills, improve communication, and build healthier relationships with themselves, their partners, and their families. I especially enjoy working with Spanish-speaking clients who want therapy that feels culturally familiar, honest, and focused on real-life progress. My goal is to help clients feel understood, take responsibility for change, and move toward a more stable, healthy, and meaningful life.

Hi, I’m Jade Rogers, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing individual and couples therapy to adolescents and adults. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, grief and loss, personality disorders, addiction, infertility, relationship distress, and major life transitions. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, attachment-based treatment, Narrative Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT. I tailor treatment to each client’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. In therapy, I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and past experiences. We may focus on strengthening emotional regulation, increasing distress tolerance, improving communication, establishing healthier boundaries, processing trauma, reducing avoidance, and developing more effective coping strategies. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, collaborative, and clinically focused. I believe clients benefit from feeling both supported and appropriately challenged. Therapy with me is not only about gaining insight—it is also about applying practical tools, identifying patterns that are no longer working, and creating meaningful, sustainable change. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered while working toward greater emotional stability, healthier relationships, improved self-awareness, and a stronger sense of control over their lives.

I'm Alexis DeFendis, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I believe that healing happens through genuine connection, curiosity, and feeling truly understood. My path to becoming a therapist wasn't a straight line. Before entering the counseling profession, I spent years working in neuroscience research and health technology. While that work was meaningful, I eventually realized what fulfilled me most wasn't analyzing data—it was understanding people. Becoming a therapist became more than a career change; it became part of my own journey of healing and discovering my purpose. That experience allows me to sit with clients not only as a clinician but as someone who understands what it feels like to question your direction, navigate life's unexpected challenges, and create meaningful change. Today, I work with adults, couples, and individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, and burnout. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and systems-based interventions. I believe therapy isn't about "fixing" who you are—it's about helping you better understand yourself, build resilience, and create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for a space where you can be yourself without judgment, I'm honored to walk alongside you. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to make lasting change.

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.
