I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that something isn't OK right now. That something might be new, or it might have been around a long time. You might be able to describe it perfectly, or you might just feel off without knowing why. Either way — you're here, and that's the only thing that matters right now.
I start from wherever you are. No assumptions, no judgments, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just a genuine desire to understand you — what's brought you here, what you're carrying, and what you're hoping for.
Therapy with me — whether you're coming alone or with a partner — tends to be honest and occasionally even a little lighthearted. The human experience isn't black and white, and neither is the work we'll do together. What stays consistent is that you'll have a space that belongs to you, where nothing you say or feel changes how I show up for you.
For couples, that space belongs to both of you equally. I don't take sides. What I do is help you see the pattern you're both caught in — because most of the time it's the cycle doing the damage, not each other. When that shifts, something else becomes possible.
No matter what it is you are navigating — depression, relationships, identity, or the gap between how you show up and how you actually feel inside — you don't have to have it figured out to reach out.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I support clients in processing past experiences with care and compassion, working at their own pace to build healing and resilience. I have experience in trauma recovery, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and identity exploration, with a neurodiversity-affirming approach that honors each person’s unique mind and lived experience. Whether you're navigating life transitions, working through trauma, or seeking greater self-understanding, my goal is to walk alongside you with curiosity and support.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will honor your story and support your growth with compassion, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can create a space where you feel safe, empowered, and truly understood. I look forward to connecting and beginning this journey with you.

I’m Whitney Wilfred, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but you can call me Whit. I believe therapy can be a space where you no longer have to carry everything alone. I work with adults, particularly women who are used to being the strong one—the nurturer, the achiever, the one everyone depends on—but who may be quietly navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or feeling disconnected from themselves.
My approach is warm, honest, compassionate, and collaborative. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, and DBT while creating space to explore not only what you’re experiencing, but what may be underneath it. I’m especially passionate about supporting Black and Brown women as they heal, build confidence, strengthen relationships, reconnect with themselves, and move from simply surviving life to living it more fully.
And while I’ll bring my clinical experience into the room, I also believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to come alongside you as we make room for healing, growth, and the version of you that may have gotten buried underneath everything you’ve had to carry.

Hi there, my name is Emily and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in CT and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in IL who works with adolescents and adults using a variety of theoretical perspectives in individual, family and group therapy sessions. I have 15 years of clinical experience in a variety of environments including outpatient, inpatient, community, and in-home settings.
I specialize in working with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and clients of all ages who have experienced varying types of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. This experience has helped to expand my clinical areas of expertise such as stress and anxiety reduction, management of depressive and mood symptoms, harm reduction and substance abuse, and symptoms/risk behaviors associated with personality and attachment disorders. Additionally, I have worked within the foster care system providing both individual and family therapy services to children, adolescents, and guardians.
I incorporate an array of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and solution-focused interventions into my treatment approach. In my extensive work with anxiety disorders and effects of trauma, I have frequently utilized DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) techniques, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and other interventions which focus on the psychosomatic manifestation of mental suffering in the body. I am motivated to help clients integrate past experiences into their current identity to increase insight in such a way as to make progress toward personal goals.

Hi there and welcome! As we go through different stages and circumstances in our lives, there are moments when we face difficult challenges and just need a safe space to overcome our barriers. Within my years of experience, I have helped clients and families develop their unique coping skills for symptoms related to anxiety, depression, anger, grief/loss, trauma, and behavioral dysregulation. Additionally, I have worked in various settings including communities, homes, medical offices, and remote video/telehealth.
In my role as a bilingual (English & Spanish-speaking) clinical social worker, I utilize several methods of treatment with a sense of empathy and compassion for the emerging adults (ages 18-25 y/o), adults, and families I serve. These methods of treatment and approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Family Systems Theory, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I look forward to working with you and/or your family as a team with a focus on healing, skills building, and reaching your goals.

I have always been fascinated by human behavior, the process of producing it and the impact it has on the lives of those involved. From my earliest days of rural living to my time in LA, I truly experienced a journey of wondering in regard to such. Engaging in my own therapy increased my understanding of many of these things. After realizing the inherent value of such work, I was compelled to help others achieve the same by making it a career. I have worked in group and private practice settings since 2004 and currently also assist in running an intensive outpatient program.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most essential factor of therapy. My clients experience a compassionate, inclusive, and nonjudgmental approach, and feel safe, understood, and cared for in our sessions as they explore their needs and obtain the understanding and skills best suited to them.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you've spent a long time carrying things on your own. You may be feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in self-criticism, or wondering why the same patterns keep showing up in your life. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, compassionate, and practical. We'll work together to better understand your experiences while also building skills you can use in your everyday life. Although we'll explore difficult topics, therapy doesn't have to feel heavy all the time. I believe humor, curiosity, and genuine connection can be important parts of healing.
I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. My work is informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, and I often incorporate creative approaches such as writing, storytelling, art, or reflective exercises when they resonate with my clients. I also integrate inner child and parts-informed work, along with body awareness practices, to help clients better understand themselves and reconnect with their strengths.
I have extensive experience supporting trauma survivors, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and chronic stress. I also have a special interest in helping people heal from the effects of weight stigma, body shame, and experiences of being judged or misunderstood because of their bodies. As a PhD student, I am passionate about advancing research in weight stigma and bringing that knowledge into compassionate, affirming clinical care.

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space; within that space lies your power and freedom…”
Here’s the thing; we’re all basically the same- but then again, not. Our reactions (to unexpected events, comments, public scrutiny) can vary, depending on our nature, personality, character and whether or not we’ve had breakfast. While the last part was just to get your attention, I’m committed to understanding what makes YOU “tick” and why you respond the way you do. That, in and of itself may be fascinating, but my true intention is to get you back on track, help you find your footing and become laser-focused & confident, regardless of your circumstances!
A bit about me: A native New Yorker, I acquired my MSW following a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from CCNY. Essentially, I view myself as a scientist and life coach, a motivator who recognizes that we’re ALL unique individuals, but do share many of the same thoughts & feelings. Most of us have struggled with anxiety, uncertainty and self-doubt; yet we’ve also experienced feeling confident, grounded and secure at one time or another. Then something happened and our self-esteem took a hit; there were setbacks.
Bear in mind, our backgrounds and early childhood experiences, our genetic predispositions all serve to shape our personalities and the essence of our being. To that end, as a clinician, I strive to guide individuals to examine their beliefs- in order to gain insight into their potentially self-destructive behavior- or whatever is getting in the way of their progress. Together, we’ll explore what’s influenced your self-concept and self-esteem. The saying that always resonated with me, “If you think you can, or you think you can’t- you’re right…” Life can feel overwhelming & insurmountable, but with the right tools, the sky’s the limit- whatever you’re facing!

Do you find yourself constantly worrying or overthinking every possible outcome? Do you feel like you must prepare for the worst just to feel in control? Maybe you struggle with uncertainty, fear making the wrong decision, or feel like everything has to be done perfectly. Anxiety can leave you feeling restless, exhausted, and stuck in patterns that affect your sleep, your relationships, and your peace of mind. Life transitions often bring us into what can feel like “stormy waters.” As Viktor Frankl wrote, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life.
The good news is that we've all gone through seasons of our lives when we feel this way. The first step is to reach out to someone for help. My approach is straightforward: together we will identify your goals, establish a problem-solving treatment plan, and go from there. If something is telling you it's time to begin your journey; give me a call.

Hi, I’m Jenna, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with preteens, teens, young adults, and women who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, family dynamics, identity, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, supportive, collaborative, and individualized. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work with each client to understand what they need and what will be most helpful for them.
In sessions, we may spend time processing emotions and experiences, identifying patterns, building coping skills, working through relationships, setting boundaries, or figuring out practical next steps. I incorporate approaches such as CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and creative interventions depending on the person and what they are working through.
My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also helping you build the skills and confidence to navigate life outside of therapy. You don’t have to know exactly where to start—we can figure that out together.

Hi! I’m Xanic (pronounced sha-neek), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through some of life’s most difficult and transformative moments.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, suicidality, and the emotional challenges that can come with major life transitions. I have particular experience working with clients who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward despite having tried to manage things on their own.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in outpatient and intensive mental health settings, including supporting individuals and families experiencing significant trauma and emotional distress. While I bring extensive clinical experience to my work, I believe the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective therapy. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting—we can begin exactly where you are.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides a warm, supportive, and authentic space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other challenges that may be impacting their well-being.
My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and person-centered approaches. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable being yourself while also being gently challenged to grow, develop healthier patterns, and build confidence in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Reiki II practitioner. I believe that somewhere underneath the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the patterns that keep repeating, there is a version of you that already knows the way. My job isn't to fix you. It's to create a space steady enough that you can actually hear yourself. Together we get curious about the thoughts that won't quiet down, the emotions that feel bigger than the moment, the behaviors that keep showing up even when you don't want them to, and what all of it is actually trying to tell you. I utilize a holistic approach, bringing tools into our work that help you understand what's happening in your mind and body when you're overwhelmed, so you can actually do something about it instead of just surviving it. But more than any method or modality, I show up as a real person walking alongside you, trusting that you are the expert on your own life. If you're ready to listen to that wiser part of yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to walk with you.

Trauma and PTSD
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) with more than 22 years of experience in behavioral health, addiction treatment, trauma-informed care, and mental health services. My clinical work focuses on helping adults navigate trauma, substance use and recovery, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, grief, life transitions, and challenges related to emotional regulation and overall well-being.
My approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and mind-body approaches. I'm particularly interested in the connection between mental and physical health, including stress physiology, lifestyle factors, nervous system regulation, metabolic health, and resilience.
In my practice through Grow Therapy, I strive to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I work with each client to understand the experiences, patterns, strengths, and goals that are unique to them. Together, we develop practical strategies to promote meaningful change, greater self-awareness, improved coping, and sustainable emotional well-being.

I believe therapy should be compassionate, practical, and purposeful. I work with people who feel stuck, find themselves repeating the same patterns, or know something needs to change but are not sure where to begin.
My approach is collaborative and active. I will listen and support you, while also asking honest questions and helping you look at what may be getting in the way. Together, we will identify patterns, clarify what matters most to you, and take practical steps toward meaningful change.
My goal is simple: to help you build a life that feels more aligned with who you are and who you want to be. Simple, not easy—but you do not have to figure it out alone.

I create a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients to explore and process through self-reflection. I have an obligation to help my clients find their inner strengths and empower them to improve their own lives. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and while resilience matters, there are moments when extra support can make a meaningful difference. I work with individuals who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and are looking for guidance, insight, and practical tools to move forward. In therapy, I help clients build healthy coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. My approach focuses on increasing awareness of thoughts and emotions to better understand challenges and develop effective, lasting solutions. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship challenges, and substance abuse/misuse.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy 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.
