Exhausted by the way you think about yourself? We are often (if not always) our own worst enemies. Whether this pattern has caused you problems with guilt, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction or you name it - the starting point is generally the same. When we embark on the project of therapy you will be asked to put your painful thoughts and feelings into words. As the process unfolds, the strength and fervor used to overthink and condemn yourself will become accessible to use productively in reaching your goals.

As a therapist for over 20 years, I have been privileged to walk alongside so many adults: young, old and young at heart - through so many phases and transitions, facing an endless variety of life's challenges. I am fond of saying I carry the flashlight to point out paths and possibilities for consideration, always from a positive perspective. My life as a therapist has evolved as an imperfect human through life's complicated choices, twists and turns and different career opportunities. All are additive, expanding my experience, understanding and acceptance of possibilities - meaning I have more to share with you.

Life is a long series of transitions, and we can absolutely be our own best navigators.

I am an Afro-Caribbean mom and forever learner. Psychology and healing deeply excite me. I dipped my toe into psychiatry for the first time as a high school student and am still furthering my education in clinical psychology today. I know there is a greater capacity for healing available to individuals who have always looked inward, fist-fought generational patterns, and still feel stuck in a world that says they need 15 more tasks completed by yesterday. I work to be a safe resting place for people who have moved from therapist to therapist, searching for someone who will truly see them for who they are rather than who the world has tried to mold them into. I desire to fill the Keturah-sized space in that wellness gap. I enjoy working side-by-side with clients to explore areas of possibility, rest, healing, and growth, and then provide the tools to make these things possible.

Hi, I’m Doris Anne Muchirahondo, and I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with care and expertise. I specialize in supporting children/adolescents like you who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or misunderstood. For instance, one of my clients felt crushed by workplace stress and family conflicts, which led to emotional outbursts and strained relationships. Through therapy, we worked together to identify triggers, develop healthier communication skills, and create coping strategies that restored balance in their life. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationship issues, or emotional burnout, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs. Let’s work together to move toward the fulfilling, connected, and joyful life you deserve.

*PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING* Hi friend, I'm Trinity! Are you a sensitive woman who struggles to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Are you motivated to put in the work it takes to change your own life? I'm glad you're here. In my practice, I'm honored to provide mental health services for adult women who want to holistically address and resolve issues related to anxiety, depression, chronic pain, identity, career, life transitions, spirituality, and self-esteem so that they can identify what's not working, build on what IS, and make some changes that ultimately support resilient, joyful, and fulfilling lives. Weaving together many years of training as a therapist, creative writer, and nutrition practitioner, I want to see all the women I support thrive. Seeking therapy can feel scary but I promise you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with warmth, compassion, and a wholesome approach so you can overcome the challenges holding you back.

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 Tufts Health/Cigna?

Yes! If you use Tufts Health/Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Tufts Health/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.
