Hello! Props to you for taking the first steps in handling your mental health. My name is Bethany and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing for 5 years. My priority in treatment, regardless of diagnosis, is to support you in reinforcing your strength and building your confidence because things get done when you believe in yourself. I've helped teens, adults, and older adults break free from negative thinking patterns utilizing models such as CBT and ERP. It's amazing what changes can be made when you actively choose to face your thoughts and demand your power back. I understand that life has a way of pushing us to our limits in a way that seems unfair. I also understand that an adjustment in perspective or an aggressive push of encouragement is often what we need in order to overcome the things life throws our way. My job in treatment is to provide you with the safest space to process your thoughts while also ensuring enough challenges are introduced to show you what you're capable of. Healing is going to come from you - I am simply here to help facilitate that process.

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 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 Phobias?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Phobias, is filtering therapists in California that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.
