I am a Colorado Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with: individuals in the midst of grief and other major phase-of-life transitions like divorce, job loss, legal challenges, etc.; teenagers who are struggling with a variety of mental health challenges; couples and families that are struggling to find common ground; and fractured families prior to, during, and after divorce. Building strong families, even through divorce or custody battles, incarceration, or other prolonged periods of estrangement, is a particular area of focus for me. I offer reintegration therapy services for parents and children who have experienced short- and long-term separation or alienation. I love working with families who want to find a way to function better post-divorce. In addition, I spent a decade working for the Alzheimer's Association, which included counseling individuals and families who were facing a diagnosis of dementia. Prior to venturing into the counseling field, I ran a non-profit that operated a 100-bed homeless shelter, a family transitional housing program, and an eight-unit supportive housing project for Veterans. I have a heart for working with military veterans and their families -- having 22 years of service in the US Air Force myself. I served on Active Duty for 6 years, and after a break in service, completed another 16 years as a Reservist. My spouse served alongside me, with each of us deploying twice. Our son is currently serving as well. Therefore, I have been the deployed service member, the spouse left to manage things back home, and the mom watching her "baby" deploy to far-off places. There is almost no part of military service I do not understand through first-hand experience.

Hi, I'm Jaci, and I am passionate about helping individuals overcome the challenges they face in relationships, personal fulfillment, and self-expression. I specialize in two main areas: working with adolescents who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, and relationship challenges, and empowering strong, independent women who feel disconnected from their true selves. For adolescents, I understand how difficult it can be to manage ADHD and anxiety, especially when these struggles impact friendships, family dynamics, and daily life. I work with my clients to develop practical coping strategies, improve their self-esteem, and strengthen their relationships with those around them. Together, we explore the challenges they face and create individualized solutions that help them feel understood and capable. I also work with women who feel as though they are wearing a mask—either in their relationships or careers. These women often find themselves caught in patterns that don't align with who they truly are, feeling unfulfilled and stuck. I help these women navigate life transitions, identify their authentic selves, and build deeper, more meaningful relationships—starting with the one they have with themselves. My approach is grounded in building strong, trusting relationships. With years of experience working with adolescents in the criminal justice system, I've developed a deep understanding of how to build rapport and help people feel seen and heard. I believe in a strengths-based approach that empowers my clients to tap into their inherent resilience and potential. Reaching out for therapy can be intimidating, and I want to make this process as easy and comfortable as possible for you. If you're ready to explore your challenges and work toward a more fulfilling life, I’d love to connect with you.

I hold a bachelor’s degree from Metropolitan State University and a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado. My diverse experience—spanning addiction recovery, family counseling, career guidance, and crisis intervention—enables me to provide comprehensive care. "Within you lies the capacity for healing and growth. Together, we can cultivate mindfulness, nurture your inner strength, and walk gently toward a fulfilling life."

I’m Bill Hodson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) with more than 30 years of experience in behavioral health. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across many levels of care — including inpatient, residential, medical detox, day treatment, and outpatient settings. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how trauma, PTSD, and addiction impact people’s lives, and why individualized, compassionate treatment is so important. I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma and co-occurring addiction, with a particular focus on first responders, veterans, and individuals in high-stress professions. These clients face unique challenges, and I provide a safe, confidential space where they can process their experiences without judgment. I also work with adults from all walks of life who want to overcome trauma, anxiety, or patterns of substance use. In my practice, I use EMDR therapy to help clients reprocess painful memories, reduce triggers, and restore emotional balance. I am also certified in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a cutting-edge approach for trauma, depression, and treatment-resistant conditions. By combining EMDR, KAP, and trauma-informed counseling, I create individualized treatment plans that meet clients where they are and help them move forward at a pace that feels safe. My clients often describe me as compassionate, collaborative, and approachable. Many find that over time, they experience relief from symptoms, improved relationships, and a renewed sense of resilience and hope. My goal is to help every client move from surviving to truly thriving.

EXPERIENCED. AFFORDABLE. EVENINGS & WEEKENDS. VIRTUAL With 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and Colorado, I have devoted my career to helping individuals strengthen their mental and emotional well-being. My work has spanned a wide range of clients and life circumstances—including WWII Veterans, paralyzed Veterans, caregivers, end-of-life support, members of the Queer community, and individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and both childhood and adult cancers. My approach is client-centered and tailored to each person’s unique story. I believe deeply in the mind–body connection and integrate practices such as meditation, exercise, nutrition, and restorative sleep into therapy. Together, we work toward helping you rise into your strongest, most authentic self. As a secular and liberal therapist, I celebrate diversity and honor individuality. I affirm that love is love, and I provide a safe, supportive environment for clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. I also have experience working with clients in alternative relationship structures (swinging, polyamory), as well as couples in interracial relationships and blended families. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am committed to ongoing professional development, including training in psychedelic therapy and integration through the Integrated Psychiatry Institute. My role is to guide clients through challenges, equip them with coping strategies, and support them in creating meaningful, sustainable change. If you are seeking an experienced, compassionate therapist who will meet you where you are, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can build a path of healing, growth, and self-discovery.

Hi, I'm Saray Maldonado, LCSW Helping individuals and families heal, grow, and reclaim their lives. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting people through life’s most challenging and transformative experiences. I currently work in a residential treatment facility, where I assist individuals in both substance use recovery and mental health stabilization. I provide clients with practical tools to build long-term wellness and emotional strength. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, focusing on the deeper roots of distress rather than just managing surface-level symptoms. Over the years, I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings—including schools, psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, and residential programs—allowing me to support individuals with a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults facing everything from acute crises to long-standing emotional challenges. This has strengthened my ability to adapt to each person’s unique needs and guide them toward meaningful, sustainable growth. While I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and substance use, my experience spans a wide range of emotional and behavioral health issues. I support clients coping with trauma, mood disorders, life transitions, stress, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, and more. My therapeutic approach is both compassionate and structured, blending evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic therapy. I help clients reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and develop healthier ways of relating to others and the world around them.

Depression
Before I worked as a counselor I worked as a technical writer and software tester, and then as a caseworker in social services. I have also been a studio engineer with much work in audio and video editing and got to spend a year on the film festival circuit for a documentary I made about being an independent musician. All of those experiences I feel are helpful in working with clients from different backgrounds and perhaps in understanding that most of us want to find something meaningful in this life and often feel that we still don't know what our real calling.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I received my master's degree at Prairie View A&M University in 2011. I have been practicing therapy/counseling since 2016. I spend time understanding in a deep and connected way how you are experiencing your life. With support and non-judgmental curiosity, I will look below the surface. I may examine family of origin dynamics, core beliefs you hold about yourself and where you may have learned them, values you have and how your choices do or do not support them, and when and how you limit yourself or get in your own way.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by state rather than a city?

Why filter by state rather than a city? 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.

Will my therapist take AvMed?

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