Psychotherapy relies heavily on the rapport between therapist and client, without it growth and trust cease to exist. I work towards understanding your needs and wants in a nonjudgmental safe, supportive, and empathetic environment. I believe mental health issues are a symptom of deeper, unresolved emotional issues and childhood wounds. I work with teenagers 13+, adults, couples, and families. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify irrational thoughts and faulty thinking that are the main culprits behind anxiety and stress. I also utilize psychodynamic therapy to help uncover past issues, such as family dynamics and childhood issues. My full fee is $200 for individuals and $250 for couples, however I do work on a sliding scale as well.

My approach is strength-based, to meet you, the client, right where you are. My area of focus is stress reduction and client goal orientation. My approach I have found that video, writing, and journaling are key successes to healing and moving forward. Also, play, art, mindfulness, talk, and client-interest activities offer relaxation and a therapeutic accepting environment. My focus I work with clients who have made a decision to support themselves in making realistic changes and lifestyle improvements that decrease stress, depression, and anxiety with a trauma-informed, and natural heart approach. My communication style I create a safe, trusting, and supportive telehealth experience. I am transparent and encourage honesty and self-acceptance in client decision-making and goals. I challenge a client's goals of therapy to line up with the client's actions. My journey to mental healthcare I created a therapeutic writing class called Start Steppin after publishing my first book Alice N Crackland in 2008. I realized writing was an essential tool in acknowledging, accepting, and permitting myself to overcome the challenges that I faced as a child. I believe wholeheartedly others could also benefit from learning to express themselves through the art of writing, pretense, and therapy.

I am flexible in my approach to therapy, recognizing that each client’s needs are unique. My primary focus is on addressing immediate concerns, providing targeted support and strategies to tackle pressing issues. If necessary, we can delve into past experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you, ensuring we do not overwhelm you while still addressing underlying issues that may impact your present situation. I understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. Therefore, I do not confine clients to a full hour of therapy unless it is needed. Some clients prefer to use the entire session time to explore their concerns deeply, while others may focus on immediate needs and prefer shorter sessions. This flexibility allows us to make the most of our time together, ensuring you receive the support you need in a way that works best for you. To ensure continuous progress, I provide tools and strategies for you to use between sessions. These may include practical exercises, coping mechanisms, and reflective practices designed to reinforce our work in therapy. This ongoing support helps maintain momentum and fosters lasting change. My straightforward yet understanding approach encourages open communication. I create a space where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely, knowing that you will be met with empathy and respect. This helps build a strong therapeutic relationship, essential for effective therapy and positive outcomes.

Chronic pain is a false alarm. "Try putting ice on it. Try putting heat on it. Try sleeping on a giant magnet. Just ignore it." Some things are impossible to ignore. Pain is designed to be unignorable. When your body tells you there's a problem, it makes sure you listen. Pain helps protect our bodies from harm. Pain is like a conversation between body and brain. But as in any conversation, sometimes there are misunderstandings. You want your life back. Pain Reprocessing Therapy can help. I had suffered with chronic pain for many years, until Pain Reprocessing Therapy cured my chronic pain. I am excited to bring this relief to others! In 15 sessions or less, let me offer hope, and a way out. You have been ignored, gaslighted, and drained of your cash over many years of unsuccessful remedies for your pain. Pain Reprocessing Therapy targets learned neural pathways in the brain, and reverses them. If you have a diagnosed or suspected mental health condition, PRT is still effective.

I am a life long meditator who raised a family of three with my husband of 42 years. I returned to school as an adult, so I offer the hope and skill of a complicated life lived and obstacles overcome. I can help you define your problems, give them a voice, and find solutions to support the life you choose. I truly believe that whatever your challenges are, you can find a better way to cope. I can witness and guide you through it, if you are ready to look at yourself and your life honestly. Change can be fast or slow, but change we must in order to thrive.

I know that the decision to start therapy is a huge step and that actually going through with therapy can be a cause of fear or anxiety as therapy is not always easy as it takes time, money and ultimately effort to open up to someone who regardless of experience or training is just a stranger at first.

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 the state. 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 Cigna?

Yes! If you use Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Cigna you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

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.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

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.

What to expect during your first 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. 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.
