I use a compassionate, non- judgmental, understanding, strength based approach by acknowledging and welcoming your whole person, body, mind, and spirit.

Hello! My name is Kishla Preston and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. I have been practicing for the past 12 years and have loved every moment of it. I have had the heart to help other since the age of 10. So much so, that, in high school, I ended up taking custody of the 2-month-old child of a family friend until he was age 2, while his mother gained stability. That being said, I have a special place in my heart for children, young adults and mothers. My personal goal for every client I meet is to make their lives a little bit better than it was before we found one another.

Hi there, I primarily work in substance use recovery (abstinence and harm reduction) and trauma recovery. I also have specialized training in treating anxiety, depression, and sleep issues/insomnia. My treatment orientation is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concepts, however the foundation of my early training was Psychodynamic. I have been trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, STAIR (Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation), and Seeking Safety for trauma treatment. When treating anxiety, I take a CBT, or exposure approach with skill-building. For depression I utilize CBT concepts, or behavioral activation with skill-building. For sleep issues, I work with the CBT for insomnia treatment model. These are just a few examples of treatment approaches I utilize. I am relational focused, which to me means finding a plan that works best for you, practicing cultural humility and not trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. I look forward to working with you.

Hi! I am an eclectic therapist. I tend to pull different methods from different theoretical modalities (e.g. Cognitive Behavioral, Client-Centered, Gestalt, Solution-Focused, and more) because I do not believe in a One Size Fits All for therapy. Different people work in different ways. I am flexible and like to learn more about each client before deciding on specific ways to work with them and follow their lead. I like to use humor and make clients smile. I believe it is important to focus on strengths and will provide suggestions/assign homework.

Hello, my name is Lee. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with the state of California. I spent the majority of my career helping people with severe mental illness to achieve stability while searching for meaning within acute care settings. For the past 5 years I’ve been working with team of specialists looking to incorporate more trauma based treatment into the state facilities. Through this exploration I’ve developed a deeper understanding between the interplay of trauma and childhood experiences. The connection between trauma and all of the maladaptive coping styles that I saw in group homes, recovery centers and the VA, became apparent to me. What some might call symptoms I might interpret as adaptations to deal with life. That fundamental understanding is what makes me the therapist that I am. In the words of Anita Sawyer PhD, “It’s those who are comfortable with ambiguity that can see unique perspectives to bridge connection. Connection is the essence of healing.”

Hi, I'm James. I believe therapy should ultimately help create meaningful change. What change looks like is different for everyone. Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time, returning after time away, or realizing that something in your life isn't working the way you'd like, I would be glad to explore that with you. As a Marriage and Family Therapist and Supervisor with 15 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working with people across a wide range of backgrounds, and levels of need. Much of my career has been spent serving and leading in community mental health, where I saw how our mental health can be shaped not only by our history, but by our families, communities, cultures, and the world around us. I am comfortable working with experiences that are often described as "high acuity," including significant trauma, depression, anxiety, and psychosis. I am equally interested in the quieter things that can make life harder than it needs to be, like the nagging doubts, persistent insecurities, difficult relationships, or old patterns that no longer serve you. Whatever brings you here, you don't need to have it figured out before we begin. My role is to listen, take your experiences seriously, and work alongside you to better understand what's happening and to facilitate change. I will honor your story and your pace while helping you move toward change that feels meaningful and authentic to you.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns they keep finding themselves in. People often come to me during times of transition, when relationships feel strained, or when they realize that the ways they’ve learned to cope, communicate, or protect themselves aren’t working quite as well anymore. I’m especially interested in the way our relationships and experiences shape how we see ourselves and what we come to expect from the people around us. Sometimes the thing bringing you to therapy is very clear. Other times, it’s harder to name—you may just know that you’re overwhelmed, disconnected, repeating a familiar pattern, or not feeling quite like yourself. My style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I want therapy to be a place where you can be thoughtful and curious about yourself without feeling like you have to have everything figured out first. We’ll make sense of what’s happening now, how you got here, and what might need to shift for life and relationships to feel different. If you’d like to connect briefly before beginning therapy, please schedule your first appointment here through Grow. Once scheduled, you’ll be able to message me directly, and I’m happy to answer questions about fit before we meet.

Hello, I am Joann Silva, Life has a way of constantly throwing the unexpected at us. Do you believe you are not up to the challenges that are piling up? Do you think you are just recycling old life issues? Strategies that used to help you cope do not work or you have outgrown them? No issue is too small or too big. With over 45 years in this field, I believe I have encountered almost every kind of human trauma and can help you bring yourself back to peacefulness and joy in living. I have years of being a great listener - funny and heartfelt and skilled at helping my clients find their confidence and joy, and reset their resilience to tackle life's long list of hits. I am a student of nature and human nature. I will always look to help you see all of your health and strength and nature responses to stress. As you educate me about you and your life, and the things that work and do not work, we will put together the most ancient and newest wisdom and skills undo your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual struggles. We will work to lessen or eliminate those symptoms of distress called anxiety, depression and the myriad of other symptoms that are confusing and overwhelming. We will work to help you find your center, your peace, passion and use all of the past struggles to empower you again. My goal for each session is to lessen your stress or upset, to offer laughter to break up pain, to bring stories and wisdom to help with your concerns and new ways to master the internal and external challenges you are facing. I look forward to walking a bit with you down that road to a new joy.

My approach is rooted in feminist and existential therapy, which means we’ll look not only at what you’re experiencing internally, but also at how relationships, family patterns, societal expectations, identity, and your lived experiences have shaped you. I value humor, curiosity, honesty, and creating a space where you don’t have to edit yourself. My goal isn’t to tell you how to live your life, but to help you understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and build a life that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

My name is Jeffrey Yeom, and I'm a 1.5-generation Korean-American therapist. I believe one of our deepest human needs is to understand and to be understood. That's why I do this work: to help you realize you don't have to navigate life alone. My practice centers on decolonizing mental health, which means freeing you from values imposed by dominant culture so you can reconnect with what truly matters to you. I take time to learn your background, identity, and cultural world, then weave that understanding into rituals, traditions, and self-care practices that honor who you are. Together, we'll explore the emotions that point toward your truest values and gently rewrite patterns that no longer serve you. I work from an emotion-focused, attachment-based, and psychodynamic approach. In my sessions, I invite you to show up exactly as you are. We'll explore the relationships and experiences that have shaped you with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment. If you're looking for a space where your whole story can belong, I hope you reach out. Many of my clients carry stories shaped by migration, acculturation, or family expectations. You're not alone in navigating these.

I'm a therapist and founder of Get Psyched Therapy & Coaching, and I work almost exclusively with late-diagnosed AUDHD adults—especially parents. That specificity isn't random: I'm late-diagnosed myself, and that experience fundamentally shaped both who I am and how I practice. I know what it feels like to finally understand why things were always hard. The relief of answers mixed with grief over lost time. The weird joy of realizing you're not broken—you're wired differently. And the complicated reality of being neurodivergent while raising other humans. When you work with me, you get someone who actually gets it. Not just clinically, but because I've lived it. I meet you where you are—no shame, no pressure. I follow your pace and your interests, not a rigid format. Some sessions are deep therapeutic work. Others might involve a game or creative tool because your nervous system needs something hands-on that day. Both matter. I believe healing and growth don't have to look "normal"—they look like you. My clients often come exhausted from being told their struggles mean they're lazy or not trying hard enough. They're ready to stop masking and to be genuinely understood. They want someone in the room who recognizes that the both/and is real: you can be a neurodivergent person and a capable parent. You can struggle and be trying your absolute best. Those things coexist. I bring clinical expertise grounded in lived experience. That combination changes everything—it means I don't pathologize neurodivergence, I validate what you're carrying, and I help you build a life that actually works for how your brain works, not despite it. If you're late-diagnosed, burnt out, and ready to stop pretending, let's talk.

Hi! I'm Rachael, an LCSW, with a passion for people. I love the work I do. I think that there is so much value in introspection and self development. I have been working with adults, teens, and families for 8 years, licensed for about a year, and am honored to be in this field. I have worked primarily with people with substance use issues, the justice involved, and those with a variety of emotional difficulties. If you are someone who comes from a dysfunctional family, has a history of self-destructive behaviors, or simply just feel like you want to figure yourself out, I am ready and willing to chat with you.

Hi, I'm Tory! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 8 years of experience helping adults and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation - not a clinical interview. I'm particularly drawn to people who have been through difficult experiences and are struggling to see their own strengths. I'll meet you with compassion and curiosity while also helping you recognize patterns, build insight, and make meaningful changes in your life. I draw from approached including CBT, EMDR, DBT-informed skills, and relational therapy, tailoring our work to what feels most helpful for you.

I’m Johanna. I work with creative people, and with those who are working to heal, transition, and evolve from things that have hurt them. My approach blends traditional talk therapy with deeper work. With the use of Brainspotting and Jungian interventions, because real change rarely happens at the surface, we create deep meaningful change. When we're willing to go underneath, to the place where the old story lives, we can heal it and create room to become something new.

I have been a licensed therapist for 14 years and have worked in various settings including emergency room, foster care, and a gender-affirming medical clinic. In addition to my clinical training, I hold a PhD in East-West Psychology. I often help clients explore not only what they think and feel, but also how emotions, trauma, and old survival strategies show up as tension, disconnection, protective patterns, or ways of relating. I am especially attentive to the ways people are shaped by family systems, culture, social expectations, and institutions. My goal is to create a space that is compassionate, discerning, and real—where clients can feel deeply understood while also being supported toward change, agency, and a more authentic relationship with themselves.

I’m a warm, grounded, and collaborative therapist who believes therapy should be built around the person—not the other way around. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationships, family challenges, pregnancy and parenthood, and times when you simply feel stuck. My approach draws from person-centered therapy, CBT, and solution-focused work. I believe therapy can be both practical and deeper, learning tools to manage what’s happening now while also exploring the patterns and experiences underneath it. Some people need clear strategies and direction; others need space to slow down and process. Most of us need some combination of both. You know yourself better than I ever could. My role is to bring clinical knowledge, curiosity, and support while we figure out together what will actually be helpful for you. I’ll meet you where you are, genuinely listen, and also challenge you when I think it could help you move forward.

First of all, I am a father and grandfather. The rest can be summed up, quite aptly, from my 3rd personality test of a similar kind. I am a “Healer.” A Healer personality has a high moral standard, believing in treating everyone fairly, equally, and with dignity. The Healer is introspective, sensitive, compassionate, and empathetic - and very approachable. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (1992). I have been a supervising and practicing psychotherapist ever since. I have provided therapeutic services utilizing several different modalities with CBT being most utilized.

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.
