You might feel like you’ve been carrying too much for too long—trying to keep it together while life feels heavier than it should. Maybe anxiety keeps running the show. Maybe you’ve been stuck in habits or patterns that don’t serve you anymore. Maybe you’ve gone through heartbreak, loss, or betrayal and can’t quite find your footing again. Or maybe you just know something’s off, and you’re tired of pretending everything’s fine. Here’s how I can help. Together, we’ll slow things down and get to the root of what’s really driving your emotions and behaviors—not just the surface stress, but the deeper patterns that keep showing up. I’ll help you develop tools to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings in real time so you can start responding differently instead of reacting automatically. We’ll also focus on rebuilding your confidence and connection—with yourself and the people who matter most. That means learning how to trust your own instincts again, set boundaries without guilt, and create habits that actually last. Therapy with me isn’t about endlessly talking through problems—it’s about real movement. My goal is to help you feel lighter, more grounded, and genuinely hopeful about where you’re headed.

I am a trauma‑informed therapist who deeply respects our ability to adapt, survive, and heal. I welcome all who are seeking not just symptom relief, but a deeper sense of safety, wholeness, and self-trust. I am certified in Janina Fisher’s Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) model. This approach is especially supportive for people who feel stuck in cycles of reactivity, shame, dissociation, or emotional overwhelm. Rather than pathologizing symptoms, we work together to understand them as adaptive survival strategies and gently build capacity for regulation, self-compassion, and choice. My work is grounded, collaborative, and paced with care. I integrate parts‑based, body‑aware, and mindfulness‑oriented practices to help clients reconnect with themselves in ways that feel safe and empowering. Together, we focus on understanding your inner experience with curiosity and compassion, and on developing new ways of responding that feel more supportive and aligned. Outside the therapy room, I am a surfer, yoga practitioner, hiker, and nature painter. Time in the ocean and the natural world continually informs my clinical work, reminding me of the importance of rhythm, attunement, and patience in the healing process. These values often show up in how I work with clients: steady, respectful of limits, and trusting your process. If you’re living with anxiety, stress, emotional heaviness, or coping strategies that once helped but now feel limiting, you’re in the right place. You don’t need to have a name for what you’re experiencing. I would be honored to support you as you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels safe and empowering.

Hi! I'm Nick and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping adults who are ready to move beyond just surviving and into a place of genuine connection and wholeness. I understand the profound weight you’ve been carrying for so long, whether it is the shadow of childhood trauma, navigating addiction or recovery, or the deep fatigue of not being fully seen. If you’ve spent years trying to hold it all together, navigating the world as a man, a trauma survivor, someone who is queer, neurodivergent, or in recovery, you may have learned to mask, people please, or stay small simply to survive. I specialize in supporting those who have felt fundamentally “othered” because of their identity, their sensitivity, or their complex struggles. My approach can be direct, relational, and deeply connected. You will not find judgment in our sessions. What you will find is honesty, profound compassion, and the kind of authentic support that allows you to safely let your guard down. I believe the most transformative healing happens in relationship through empathy, attunement, and having the space to be fully yourself, without the need for code-switching, masking, or minimizing any part of your experience. I bring warmth, humor, and realness into our work, meeting you exactly where you are today. Therapy with me is a genuine partnership, focusing on what you need, rather than a rigid prescription. We will collaborate to heal early wounds, develop profound self-compassion, and cultivate a life where you feel a sense of belonging in your own skin. If any of this resonates and if you are ready for a change and a relational experience with someone who understands your journey, I would be honored to connect with you.

My approach in therapy is centered around the transformative power of creativity and connectivity. I believe that healing and growth are best achieved through breaking generational patterns, self reflection, and strengthening the skills to navigate the systems in which we live. I take a relational and evidence based approach to treatment, center your voice, and guide a process of co-creating your healing journey. I encourage clients to explore their inner worlds and express themselves authentically; while also establishing solid supports, and grounding awareness within the context of their lives.

I care deeply about creating a therapeutic relationship where people feel respected, understood, and able to approach difficult parts of their lives with curiosity rather than judgment. Outside of therapy, I enjoy paddle boarding in the summer, long conversations with loved ones over a leisurely meal, and just about anything related to musical theater.

I help adults who look like they’re holding it together on the outside, but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same relationship patterns on the inside. We’ll work on stress management, emotional regulation, communication, and the deeper “why” behind your reactions—so you feel more grounded, confident, and consistent in daily life. My style is warm, structured, and down-to-earth. You don’t need perfect words—just a willingness to show up. I use CBT/DBT/ACT tools for practical change, and I can integrate deeper work (Brainspotting/IFS) when it’s a good fit. I also create a dedicated space for men—especially men of color—who want to explore masculinity, culture, identity, and relationships without judgment.

Hi all! Have you ever wondered what life would be like free of anxiety and depressive symptoms? Are you feeling lost and in need of a purpose? I love helping folks recover from issues like anxiety, depression, OCD and complex post-traumatic stress. Healing and recovery are possible! I will work with you to establish small achievable goals we can take baby steps toward. I also believe in the importance of being able to explore and process feelings that were not safe to share in the past. Healing is a process that takes time and I will help guide you. I can help you get to the root of the issue and teach you skills you can use all of your life in various situations. I do inner-child/ inner-adult work for those interested, but I also use the more practical REBT to help shift rigid perspectives that keep us stuck.

Hello and welcome, I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with a practice rooted in curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for the human experience. My work is guided by the belief that healing emerges when we feel truly seen, heard, and held—an approach that honors both the conscious and unconscious dimensions of your inner life. I offer a holistic, integrative approach that engages mind, body, and spirit. I am certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, including ketamine-assisted sessions (KAP), and provide both preparation and integration support to help these experiences become a source of profound insight and growth. My practice moves beyond traditional talk therapy. I see storytelling not just as expression, but as a doorway to transformation. Through connecting with the body and attending to the felt sense of experience, clients can shift entrenched patterns, reclaim fragmented parts of themselves, and cultivate lasting change. By exploring both the personal and archetypal dimensions of your inner world, we work to cultivate resilience, confidence, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself and in life’s unfolding. Healing is not simply intellectual—it is a process of reconnecting with the wholeness of who you are, integrating the wounded, the wise, and the curious parts of yourself to step more fully into your life.

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.

Welcome! Taking the step to seek therapy is a courageous move, and it’s a powerful indicator that you’re ready to embrace positive change. This journey can feel daunting, but it’s a testament to your openness and commitment to creating a life filled with hope, fulfillment, and new possibilities. I specialize in supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, food-related issues, and trauma. I also offer guidance to stressed parents of children with special needs. My approach is centered around two main goals: first, helping you achieve regulation in your body and nervous system, and second, fostering a compassionate understanding of your mind’s patterns to guide it towards healthier choices. Because mental health is deeply personal, I tailor my approach to what best suits your needs. We might use a top-down approach, focusing on thoughts, beliefs, and values, or a bottom-up approach that listens to your body's sensations and messages. Often, a combination of both methods works best. I draw from a range of techniques, including Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, and various somatic interventions. Together, we’ll explore which methods resonate most with you and create a path forward that aligns with your unique journey.

I am passionate about the work I do in health care settings, where I advocate for patients navigating complex medical systems—a role that deeply informs my therapy practice. My path into this work is inspired by my personal experience with infertility and reproductive diagnoses, and wading through the challenging and emotional adoption process. I found myself inside a complicated healthcare landscape that required constant advocacy, difficult decisions, and learning to ask for support when I needed it most. Every decision felt heavy and urgent, yet there was no one who understood my situation to help make those choices. Along the way, I had to build my own village—people who could hold space for both the practical realities and the emotional weight of what I was going through. Today, I hope to be part of that village for others walking similar paths.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or noticing patterns that keep repeating, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I bring nearly 11 years of experience and take a whole-person, inclusive approach. I support my clients through issues such as trauma, depression, and anxiety. I understand trauma as something that can stem from single events, repeated experiences, or complex family and relational dynamics, often layered over time. You don’t have to navigate this alone. My goal is to help you find clarity, relief, and a deeper sense of yourself along the way.

Hi there, I'm Mandy. Are you feeling stuck or held back from the life you truly want to live? Life’s challenges—stress, pain, and unresolved experiences—often settle in our bodies, shaping how we move through the world. These experiences impact our nervous system, relationships, and sense of safety until we learn to work with them. By gently turning toward these parts of ourselves, we create space for healing and growth. My goal is to support you to feel heard, seen, and empowered to transform these challenges. Through mind-body-spirit integration, you'll reconnect, find balance, and discover what transformation means for you.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. After completing training in 1999 at Southwest Missouri State University, I began practicing therapy in several different settings over 20 years ago. I have experience practicing in inpatient psychiatric care, foster care, group homes, home health and hospice, school settings, and private practice. Outside of behavioral health care and in my free time, I enjoy time with my children, family, friends, and pets, time outdoors hiking, swimming, camping, and exploring.

I am a board-certified Music Therapist and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of experience, serving clients across California and Colorado. My own journey informs my work: I grew up in California and built a successful business before transitioning my life to Colorado. I then spent two years as a digital nomad—traveling by car across the US and living abroad for 1.5 years—all while managing and growing my business. I understand how to maintain excellence while in motion, and I use an IFS-informed somatic and creative approach to help you find that same internal groundedness and freedom.

I'm a therapist who works with adults who were "the easy one" growing up — the responsible child, the capable sibling, the one who learned early to stay small and not add to anyone's plate. Maybe you had a sibling who struggled and needed extra attention, or parents who were stretched thin. You adapted by becoming self-sufficient, and it worked. Really well. For a long time. But now, as an adult, those early strategies might show up as perfectionism, chronic overthinking, difficulty resting, or feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions. You might look capable from the outside while feeling exhausted on the inside — wondering if there's room for yourself in your own life. I bring clinical depth (trained in Coherence Therapy, clinical hypnosis, and parts work) alongside genuine warmth and a refreshingly real style. Together, we'll dive into a process I liken to updating your operating system so that you can learn to show up differently in your own life. Whether you're struggling with boundaries, perfectionism, or just feeling invisible in your relationships, you don't have to figure this out alone.

Hi, I’m Sarah. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Alternative Healing Arts Practitioner who specializes in helping individuals heal their relationship with food, their bodies, and themselves, while also supporting healing from childhood wounds, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm. Many of the challenges we face—whether with food, anxiety, relationships, or self-esteem—are rooted in unresolved emotional wounds, attachment dynamics, and nervous system dysregulation. My work focuses on helping you access and heal these deeper layers so that lasting change becomes possible. I offer an integrative approach that blends traditional psychotherapy with somatic and energy-based modalities. In our work together, we may use processes such as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), parts work, and nervous system regulation practices to support inner child healing, emotional processing, and the repair of attachment patterns. These approaches help access deeper layers of the mind and body where long-standing patterns are often stored. In addition to traditional therapy, I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for individuals seeking deeper work with long-standing emotional patterns or treatment-resistant struggles. These sessions are offered on a self-pay basis and include thorough preparation and integration support. I bring nearly two decades of experience in the field of eating disorder treatment, particularly with bulimia and binge eating disorder. My background includes directing a behavioral health program at a premier wellness center, leading an intensive treatment program for binge eating disorder at the University of California San Diego’s Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research, and conducting research on eating behavior at Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity. In addition to my professional training, my work is informed by my own recovery from bulimia, allowing me to meet clients with genuine understanding, compassion, and hope for what healing can look like.

This season of life has been WAY more than you imagined. You juggle everyone else's needs, and you are realizing you need space for yourself. Friend, I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Jess. I specialize in supporting high-capacity women and their children as they navigate betrayal, burnout, and major life changes. I know what it’s like when the late-night fights with your spouse leave you drained, when work deadlines and school carpool lines blur together, and the days feel like they’re just melting into one another. Maybe you’ve forgotten what it feels like to laugh, to feel light, or to truly enjoy a moment for yourself. You are in the right place. Here is where you get to pause, process, and reclaim clarity, balance, and joy—even in the midst of life’s chaos. I combine evidence-based techniques—like mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic strategies—with a compassionate, encouraging approach tailored to your needs. Whether your goals are to feel more confident, create healthier relationships, speak up, or find yourself again, I’d love to support you. My approach is warm, positive, and focused on practical, small steps—one day at a time—so you can cultivate resilience, clarity, and your healthiest, most authentic life. My focus is always on supporting you where you are, meeting your needs with compassion, and helping you move toward a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and manageable.

My name is Feji, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in working with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, mood disorders, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates Psychodynamic Theory, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trauma informed modalities. My goal is to help clients uncover the root of their internal conflicts. I also guide clients in developing a deeper awareness of how trauma could manifest in their bodies. I often say that our bodies are wise, they consistently signal when unresolved emotions and inner conflicts are left unaddressed. Just as we tend to our physical health, it’s vital that we nurture our internal world with the same care and intention.

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?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available 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.

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 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. 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.
