Hello, I'm Sascha, Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in the field of Mental Health for 10+ years. I have worked in many settings including county-based services, non-profit mental health, foster care, and schools.

My favorite part of my work is having the opportunity to help clients identify what is causing them to struggle and then come up with ideas for navigating life's challenges. All sorts of things can get in the way of us and what we want including difficult relationship dynamics, lack of support, our history, and difficulty managing emotions. I am here to sit with you while we get things sorted out... throughout your journey of living your most fulfilling life.

I spent the a decade working in the addiction treatment industry. Working in that industry opened my eyes to the need for adequate trauma treatment so I became trained as an EMDR practitioner. In studying mind- body approaches to trauma, such as EMDR, I learned about the effectiveness of Eastern Practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi and Meditation in treating a range of psychological challenges.Personally experiencing the benefits of a mindfulness practice led me to obtain formal training in the study of yoga, Tai Chi and mediation so I could bring those benefits to my clients as well. Currently, I specialize in treating a wide range of psychological challenges using integrative approaches such as mindfulness based and trauma informed approaches.

I have over 20 years of counseling experience working with diverse individuals from young children to seniors. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, transitions, self destructive behaviors, codependency among others, so that you can overcome the blocks that keep you from living the life you deserve. I use an integrated and collaborative approach created to meet the unique needs of each individual while establishing a safe environment conducive to achieving goals, and moving forward. I believe that true change happens when people are given the support they need in order to draw upon their own strengths to realize their full potential. I am very passionate about the work I do, compassionate, and believe that with dedication and commitment, you can live the fulfilling life you know is awaiting you. A few comments former clients have said about me and our work together include; “I’ve worked with a number of therapists before, but you are the only one that I felt truly cared.” “I can't believe that after 8 years of depression and PTSD, I actually feel great after only 6 months! If you would have asked me if this were possible a couple years ago, I would have said absolutely not!” I have worked with both short-term and long-term interventions and in diverse settings. My goal is your goal and together, you can achieve what you may have thought, or think, is unachievable. It is possible to not only overcome obstacles, but thrive and live a happy life.

I help high-functioning adults manage anxiety, depression, work-related stress, and major life transitions with clarity, compassion, and emotional depth. I offer individual therapy for adults on the Grow Therapy platform with a focus on those who are navigating big internal shifts while maintaining full external lives. Many of my clients are juggling personal relationships and professional pressure, often without space to process how it’s all impacting them.

While I work with a range of concerns, I specialize in: Anxiety and burnout Mild to moderate depression Life transitions (career shifts, moves, relationship changes) Relational stress for individuals in monogamous and consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships Emotional wellness for BIPOC individuals My therapeutic style is collaborative, affirming, sex-positive, and culturally grounded. I draw from narrative therapy and trauma-informed care to help clients explore the stories they’ve internalized — and support them in reshaping those narratives in ways that feel more aligned and liberating. Please note: I currently do not offer therapy for couples, families, or individuals seeking support for high-acuity concerns such as eating disorders, active substance use, suicidal ideation, grief, personality disorders, OCD, chronic pain, neurodivergence, religious trauma, or psychiatric hospitalization.

I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds in a therapeutic capacity for several decades. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and although I have trained in various methodologies, I believe the key to therapy is a good relationship with your therapist. My goal is to make you feel safe to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgment. I aim to foster a space where you feel understood, supported and empowered on your journey. I’m passionate about helping people transform their lives.

My professional background includes work in social service agencies in both clinical and community roles, as well as in private group practice.

It is my privilege to offer guidance in this process. I work with clients who are experiencing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, family/relationship issues, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from an array of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, and Child Parent Psychotherapy.

Hi, I’m Lainie. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and the lasting impact of emotionally complex relationships or belief systems—whether that’s a controlling partner, overbearing parent figures, or a rigid faith community. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who’ve spent years prioritizing others and are now ready to reconnect with their own voice, values, and intuition. My approach is warm, welcoming, and strengths-based. I’ll meet you with curiosity and care, and together we’ll create space to explore who you are outside of old roles, rules, and expectations.

Hello, I'm Grace, How can I help you? Was there a crisis, or an unexpected, yet, traumatic event that has happened in your life? Maybe you're just feeling lost, tired, overwhelmed, in shock, and just in need of some extra support. Maybe it was an ultimatum, "Either we go to therapy, or we're done..." that motivated this decision; or maybe you've decided that you're ready to start making some changes, or just want some help and support. Whatever the motivator, here you are... so let's get started! I'm a well-rounded and experienced therapist, with over 10 years of clinical experience and have been licensed for 5 years. I'm duly licensed holding licenses in California and Tennessee. I've been a child custody mediator, and specialize as a crisis and trauma therapist. I have expertise in the areas of sexual assault/abuse, and domestic abuse; and have worked extensively with at-risk youth and parents. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish.
