I am an alternative, openminded, non-judgmental therapist for those folks who have felt marginalized, ostracized, bullied, and judged for expressing parts of themselves that may be deemed "weird" or misunderstood. I am educated and experienced in LGBTQIA+ issues, trauma recovery, grief, relationship issues in unconventional relationships (poly, kink, platonic, etc.) I seek to help clients explore their values that have likely been buried by trauma, shame, and people-pleasing, and help form a structure to living a life that feels more genuine.

Therapy is my passion! I absolutely love to watch my clients grow and change before my eyes. Hi, I’m Lois, Mother of 3 amazing boys, business owner and lover of life. I have learned so much through my years of working with clients individually, in groups and with families and couples. What I have learned is that as humans we are resilient! We have been given this life to have joy and life lessons. I have been honored to guide and encourage many clients over the last 20 years. It is my life purpose to help others especially when they cannot see the abundance and joy that is around us. I use many different modalities to guide clients on their journey. One of my main modalities is EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) which are both very effective healing modalities. I'm always excited to learn new techniques and offer a variety of modalities to assist my clients in their healing journey. I also use short-term solution-focused therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness among others to bring about change. I truly believe as a therapist I must do my own work, for I cannot take you to a place that I have not visited. I have done many years of my own therapy, attended healing retreats, participated in group therapy and attended 12 step meetings, writing and more recently I became certified as a Kundalini Yoga teacher. My main goal for the Kundalini teacher training was to deepen my practice, to understand myself and others on a deeper level and to inspire others to use self care, chanting and meditation to create healing physically, spiritually and mentally.

You deserve to feel better. Hi, I’m Michelle, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Mindset Coach with over thirty years of experience helping people reduce stress, ease anxiety, and feel more grounded and confident in themselves. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation, one that helps you make sense of your experiences and understand yourself more deeply: how you think, feel, and respond to life, so you can move forward with greater confidence and clarity. Clients often come to me wanting to manage their emotions better or feel more in control of how they react. Many are wrestling with stress, anxiety, or emotional patterns that leave them feeling disconnected or stuck. Together, we work to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface, how the nervous system responds to stress, how patterns were formed, and how emotional intelligence can be strengthened in everyday life. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I bring both clinical experience and real-world perspective to our work together, helping you strengthen the relationship with your Self, the part of you that holds awareness, clarity, and inner strength. Together, we focus on learning how to regulate emotions, cultivate a growth mindset, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Hi, I’m Susan. I’m a licensed therapist offering online therapy in California for adults and moms who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just worn down by the day-to-day demands of life. Many of the people I work with are capable, high-achieving, and used to getting things done, yet feel emotionally exhausted, on edge, or stretched too thin inside. In therapy, you don’t have to hold it all together. Our work is collaborative and supportive, with a focus on helping you understand what’s been weighing on you and finding practical ways to feel calmer and more steady in your everyday life. I often work with clients navigating postpartum challenges, ongoing stress and burnout, and midlife transitions such as perimenopause or menopause, when emotions can feel different or harder to manage. I’m thoughtful about cultural identity, family dynamics, and the quiet pressures many people carry, especially when they’ve been expected to stay strong for a long time. We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, and I’ll meet you where you are. If you’re looking for therapy that feels human, grounding, and genuinely supportive, not rushed or clinical. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

I’m Helen Bass, LCSW. I work with women who look like they’re holding it together—capable, responsible, steady—while internally feeling braced, anxious, or quietly exhausted. Our work is relational, trauma-informed, and practical. We pay attention to what repeats under stress: over-responsibility, people-pleasing, shutdown, perfectionism, and the “always on” baseline. Together, we build the kind of safety that lets you tell the truth without punishment—and develop boundaries, regulation, and steadier self-trust that holds up in real life. Many of my clients want faith integrated with care and honesty. If that’s you, we can hold your spiritual values without using spirituality to bypass grief, anger, limits, or relational repair. If you’re looking for therapy that is quiet, direct, and deeply human, I’d be honored to explore whether we’re a fit.

You may be coming to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by patterns that keep repeating in your life or relationships—or by a situation that has disrupted your sense of stability. You might be navigating a loss, a major transition, or ongoing pressure that has left you depleted. Your body and emotions may be holding more than words alone can explain. I offer a relational, trauma-informed space where we can slow down together and create more choice in otherwise habitual patterns of responding. Over time, many people feel more at ease in their bodies, clearer about their needs, and more confident in how they relate to others and themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in California. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

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.
