My goal in my psychotherapy practice is to help others rid themselves of fear and embrace love. When you become an active partner in your healing, barriers that prevent you from living your life to the fullest disappear. Through Emotional Release techniques, attachment-based therapy, and an exploration of internal family systems, we get to the heart of what is holding you back, and what your greatest purpose/potential is in this lifetime. Sometimes the way we think and talk about our lives limits our choices and perspectives. I help you recognize what is not working for you, and provide tools and practices to build your self-confidence, trust in your own insight, and strengthen your ability to let go and speak your truth. If you are ready to take control of your own life and do everything on your bucket list: let's work together.

My name is Rena, and I also go by Ro (both names are great). I am a white queer non-binary Ashkenazi Jewish somatic therapist and artist. Prison abolition, harm reduction, and consent are important to me, and I strive to practice in ways that are honest and aligned with my values. A sense of humor is also essential to me in healing work, and I believe in making room to go deep as well as to have fun in therapy. I have experience working with folks who experience depression, self-harm, relationship issues, break-ups, trauma, and anxiety. I love working with millennials, young people, queers, and creatives. Right now, I am only seeing clients on Telehealth.

I approach our first session with wanting to know exactly where you are and what you need today. This is because people usually book a therapy session while in some kind of emotional pain, or with a problem to solve. I assure you that you will feel more peaceful and calm with just one session, and you will leave knowing that you will be able to solve what is going on. We tend to be harsh and critical of ourselves thinking that will promote change when that only causes us to procrastinate and feel depression and anxiety. To address this I offer you my book endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on self-forgiveness- just ask me about it if you are interested! I offer you my podcast- All Things Therapy, which can be found everywhere podcasts are streamed. It is a mental health and wellness-focused podcast with over 360 episodes that may address something you are dealing with. I would love to work with you here on Grow, so please schedule.

I am drawn to working with clients who are dealing with adjustment issues: life transitions, changes, and loss, at any stage of life. I also work with clients dealing with mild to moderate depression and anxiety, existentialist questions over life purpose and meaning, LGBTQ and POC experiences around discrimination and trauma, the interest in developing a positive and personal spirituality, and as an adjunct support in fostering abstinence around substance use issues (therapy does not replace 12 step work, but it can be a powerful form of support for individuals in recovery). I have also worked a lot with clients grappling with codependency, setting boundaries, and developing self-esteem. I like to take an eclectic approach that uses solution-focused and CBT therapy for present day situations, psychodynamic theory for past childhood losses and trauma, and art therapy for exercises in between therapy appointments that can be processed in session. I am a gay man, with a husband and son; I'm 33 years sober and have 20 years of experience working in the visual arts, plus a doctorate in philosophy.

Hi there, I'm Douglas, Do you feel pulled in a million directions, struggling with clarity, focus, and motivation? Maybe there are struggles in your relationships, work or health. Or, perhaps doubts about yourself, identity or sexuality. Uncertainties, anxieties, and burnout can weigh you down. When this happens it can feel as if you don't know who or what to turn toward. Let's see if we can fix that. I work with Adult LBGTQ professionals, those with ADHD and their allies, and those in alternative and kink relationships. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll move towards identifying and validating those stuck places and build action plans to resolve them. Together with a bit of mindfulness, hope, and trust in the process, you'll develop greater confidence in yourself. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. Therapy is a confidential place for you to do that. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with authenticity, kindness and respect. With my skills as LMFT and certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, we will use a variety of therapy tools and practices so you can overcome the concerns and habits holding you back.

Hi, I'm Kylie and I have been a therapist for 8 years, and am EMDR Certified. I support people who experience anxiety, symptoms from trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues. I have a two step approach. First I teach people how to regulate themselves in-the-moment. That way they can get back to emotional safety when things are not feeling right. Then I help people find ways to stop what is bothering them before it even starts. That can look like setting a routine that helps reduce anxiety, processing past trauma, surrounding yourself with people that make you feel great, or figuring out what gives your life meaning and helping you do that.

I believe in a strength based approach, where we not only explore the issues that brought you to therapy, but we explore how to expand the things that bring you joy and happiness. As Dr. Seuss once said, “life is a great balancing act” and he could not have been more right. My practice focuses on individual therapy for adolescents, and adults. My areas of expertise include depression, mood disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD, Trauma, and transitional issues of work, relationships, etc. Client’s describe me as genuine and authentic, supportive, strength based, straight forward, and always keeping hope alive.

I am a compassionate, collective liberationist-oriented psychotherapist. I pull from politically leftist, critical psychology as well as humanistic and existentialist frameworks. I center marginalized persons, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA persons. I am a digital nomad, a former vanlifer and a world traveler. I am a mom, I've been married for 15 years and I love to rollerskate! I believe that if you are ready to start to find and embrace your authentic self, you can create a significant transformation in your life. If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd love to help you. Soy una psicoterapeuta compasiva, orientada a la liberación colectiva. Mi orientación viene de la psicología políticamente izquierdista, liberacionista, y teóricamente crítica, así como de las filosofías y los marcos clínicos humanistas y existencialistas. Los combino con las modalidades, los modelos y las técnicas de la psicoterapia convencional. Centro a las personas marginadas, incluidas las personas BIPOC y LGBTQIAA. Soy una nómada digital, una ex-vanlifer, y viajera mundial. Soy madre, estoy casada desde hace 15 años, y me encanta patinar a ruedas. Creo que si estás lista/o para comenzar a encontrar (y integrar) tu ser auténtica/o, podrás comenzar a cultivar una transformación significativa en tu vida. Si crees que encajaríamos bien, me encantaría ayudarte.

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.

Anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, lasting effects of past trauma, and other sources of upset and stress can be challenging to handle. Left unaddressed, these issues can overwhelm our coping skills. Choosing therapy is a self-honoring step in support of relief, healing, and reaching important life goals. Therapy often includes working together to identify and change habits, thoughts, actions, and relationship patterns that are holding you back from making progress in your life. In addition, we may find that current issues trace back to old wounds that need to be processed and healed in service to greater freedom in the here and now. Through therapy, clients often reconnect to themselves, who and what they love, and regain a sense of purposeful direction. I work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Mindfulness Techniques, as well as many other relevant and helpful tools to assist you in reaching your goals. I am a strong believer in tools and offer as many helpful tools and practices as I can to benefit you.

Hi there, I’m Manny. Are you currently searching for a sense of meaning and purpose in your life? Do you find yourself in an existential/spiritual emergency? Are you exploring your personal identity, expression, or sexuality? I help people of all ages increase self-awareness and decrease symptomology by bringing unconscious material into conscious awareness. Trauma combined with an emotional core (experiences of intense fear/guilt/shame) commonly splinters parts of our personality and represses such into the shadow/unconscious realms of our psyche. In response, many of us have adapted and survived by putting on masks in hopes of fitting in and being accepted by the people around us. Mental health concerns eventually arise because deep in our mind/body/soul we yearn for authenticity/individuation. Clients may also experience suicide ideation and/or self-harm because there are parts of themselves that no longer serve them. Together we can explore which aspects of ourselves to let go, in order to make space for something new to enter. I am a Doctoral Candidate from Pacifica Graduate Institute, my studies focused on Depth Psychology with a specialization in Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices. As a Holistic practitioner, I believe that each individual already possesses what is needed for their healing and it is my duty, as a guiding witness, to help the client navigate, process, and integrate such.

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 10 years. My Master’s in Social Work focused on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality and how our different life experiences shape how we navigate our surroundings. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, some of my approaches to helping my clients identify their challenges and barriers to their identified problem starts with a person-centered and solution-focused approach to therapy. I recognize a client's right to self-determination, and I want to empower clients I work with to collaboratively come up with their own obtainable short-term and or long-term plans and goals for the present and the future lives they want to live. Let’s further explore together how to use better the tools you’ve been working with and perhaps add additional tools to the toolbox or not.
