I was drawn to this work because I know the impact that support from others can have. At different points in my life, I have benefited from people who helped me face challenges, understand myself more clearly, and move through difficult seasons with more honesty and direction. Those experiences taught me how powerful it can be to have someone help you feel less alone while also encouraging growth, accountability, and change. That shaped my desire to offer the same kind of support to others.

I aim to create a space that feels grounded, warm, and genuine--where people can slow down, explore themselves on a deeper level, and feel less alone in what they are carrying.

I chose this line of work to provide others with the skills they need for walking their life path with their heads held high and love in their hearts. At some point we are all given difficult, transformative opportunities. I would be grateful to assist in honoring life's painful experiences and integrating them as they transform you into something greater. As a yoga teacher, therapist, and spiritual seeker who specializes in working with women I use healing modalities that shift the mind, body, and soul. My care will provide a safe space to cultivate an understanding of the symptoms present and how they fit into your life story. I will introduce tools to initially help you alleviate and integrate symptoms, but I hope they're more than that. My goal is for you to gain lifelong skills that leave you feeling empowered when faced with life's twists and turns. Healing is a difficult but beautiful, eye opening journey. I find stimulating the mind, giving the body a voice, and listening to the soul to be the three most important components of healing. My sessions incorporate techniques for relaxing and relating to the body, talk therapy for stimulating the mind, and practices for getting in touch with the soul.

I am Colorado's leading expert in work related issues and innovated new tools and concepts for work-related issues affecting mental health. My professional career as a worker peaked in 2022 and I decided I would benefit more by being self-employed instead, as about 10% of US workers currently are. I worked at a variety of inpatient and outpatient substance abuse and mental health units for many years. Working for myself has allowed me to work with clients with less restrictions from management, and I often keep a small caseload because that's my preference. It has also given me time to continue to research and publish work on the subject of working and mental health. I've operated my private practice since 2017 and went full time in 2023.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a San Francisco native, a military veteran, and a lifelong art lover who finally found the courage to answer my truest calling during the whirlwind of 2020. I haven’t looked back since. I am deeply passionate about bridging the gaps in mental health care and destigmatizing therapy—because taking care of your mind should be as normal as taking care of your body. When I’m not in the therapist chair, my life is beautifully full. I’m a homeschooling mom to six incredible girls (yes, six!), married to my childhood sweetheart, and a big fan of making meals from scratch and catching a double feature at the drive-in movie theater. My Approach I bring that same blend of heart, dedication, and real-world chaos into my practice. I take a direct, down-to-earth approach, and I love working with people who are truly ready to show up, connect, and do the work. My space is for teens and adults navigating messy transitions, trauma, PTSD/CPTSD, bipolar disorder, and personality disorders. Whether you are running on fumes or struggling with a loud inner critic, my goal is to provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can drop the mask, laugh, cry, and be totally honest. Together, we’ll unpack the heavy stuff so you can finally learn to love, see, and choose yourself.

I am Grant Marylander, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Grief Counselor, and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional practicing in Boulder, Colorado. My path to this work was not a straight one. I spent more than thirty years as an attorney before a close friend's terminal diagnosis changed everything. Sitting with him at the end of his life, I knew this was where I belonged — not in a courtroom, but in the hardest and most human moments people face. That conviction led me through palliative care, hospice grief counseling, and community mental health before I founded Share Your Grief. I work with two groups of people who, in my experience, often have more in common than they might expect. The first are individuals navigating grief, not only the loss of a loved one, but any loss that has quietly unmade a life: a diagnosis, a divorce, a career, an identity. The second are high-functioning professionals whose outward success masks an internal exhaustion driven by anxiety, perfectionism, and the relentless pressure to be more and do better. What I offer both groups is the same thing: a space where nothing they feel is too much, and a clinically grounded approach that goes beyond surface-level coping to address what is actually underneath. The impact I hope to have is not simply symptom relief. It is transformation — helping clients move from surviving their pain to understanding it, and from understanding it to carrying it with greater ease, self-compassion, and clarity about what they value most. Grief and anxiety have a way of stripping life down to what matters. My job is to help you find your footing in that stripped-down place — and rebuild from there.

Hello! My name is Judy Branch, owner of Judy E. Branch Counseling, LLC, in Lone Tree, Colorado. I love helping clients find relief from the curveballs life is sure to throw, by creating a strong therapeutic alliance and listening carefully to correctly understand client perspectives and circumstances. I believe therapy should feel like a safe place to be fully yourself — without judgment, pressure, or having to “have it all figured out.” Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family conflict, trauma, or self-doubt begin affecting everyday life.

Hi! My name is Rachel, and I have a passion for supporting all people through the many unique journeys and roads of life. I view therapy as a space where we both bring expertise and respect to our work. I approach getting to know a client from a strength-based and trauma informed lens. This means I will always see the good in you, even if it may feel hard to see within yourself. I am here to provide a listening ear, a new perspective, and see if things could be better. I am not here to judge your past, rather, reflect on how you were (and are) doing the best you can at any given time. We all have struggles, and I work to connect with you on a human level. While I do not make light of dark experiences, I often use humor and sarcasm to help us connect. Sometimes we laugh so we don’t cry; either or neither is okay in our work. Your goals, hopes, worries, and safety are my priorities, with you always consenting to what we discuss and do in session. I also use my experience with my own chronic illness, neurodiversity, and trauma to help clients feel less alone in their struggles.

My work as a therapist has given me the privilege of supporting people from many different backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life. Through these experiences, I've come to appreciate that while our stories are unique, many of us share similar struggles: wanting to feel connected, understood, accepted, and at peace within ourselves. I view therapy as a collaborative process rooted in curiosity, self compassion, and growth.

As an Air Force Reservist, I understand firsthand the unique challenges that military life can bring, including transitions, stress, and service-related trauma. My work spans college counseling, addiction recovery, and community mental health, which allows me to meet clients where they are and provide guidance tailored to their needs.

I seek wisdom from my Christian faith and, with consent, sometimes include prayer in sessions to support clients in connecting with their spirituality. Ultimately, my goal is to empower you to make confident decisions, manage stress effectively, and grow into your best self. I take pride in creating a space where clients feel heard, supported, and equipped to face challenges with strength and clarity.

You don't have to carry it all alone. What often feels like chronic stress, anxiety, or overwhelm is your nervous system signaling that you've been carrying too much for too long. I help women heal from trauma, calm their nervous systems, and feel more like themselves again. Hi! I’m Leah Swanson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience in mental health across women's health clinics, schools, and private practice. As a woman, I deeply understand many of the challenges women face, including emotional overwhelm, relationship struggles, perfectionism, self-criticism, divorce and breakups, and career burnout. Many women are hard on themselves, overgive, overthink, and quietly wonder if they are enough. My goal is to help women develop a supportive inner voice, build healthier relationships, and create meaningful careers through nervous system regulation, evidence-based positive psychology, and somatic mind-body therapy.

I view you as the ultimate expert on your own life. We operate as equal partners in your healing journey. My clinical framework is flexible and integrative. I reject one-size-fits-all treatments, drawing instead from multiple evidence-based modalities to treat the whole person.

Frequently asked questions

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 the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.

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.

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.

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.

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.
