My journey into therapy began with a desire to help the hurting individuals I worked with in a group home, and a genuine passion for helping others find strength through life’s most difficult moments. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people facing a wide range of challenges—experiences that have shown me just how powerful and transformative therapy can be. These moments have only deepened my commitment to walking alongside others on their path to healing. I’m continually inspired by the belief that every person holds the capacity for growth, resilience, and change. We can change and heal. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way. I treat adults age 18 and up.

My interests include most anything that includes family, friends, nature, animals, learning, and serving. Taking a non traditional path to where I am first as an educator and then counselor, I’ve been fortunate to work with many wonderful people along the way and in varied ways from groups, families, couples, and Individuals. I've learned much along the way from each person I've partnered with on their journey to their best self. The most important thing I've learned through the twisting path I've taken individually, and with the client's I have served, is we are all unique and the key to happiness is finding it first in ourselves.

Hello, my name is Veronica. I am licensed clinical social worker that has been in the field of human services for over 25 years. In that time, I've worked with diverse populations in addressing various issues to find the best versions of themselves. Although, I incorporate various therapies in my practice; my approach generally includes the use of CBT, REBT, and Motivational Interviewing because sometimes, someone pursuing growth will not be aware of why, they don't want to move forward. Trauma tends to be a major roadblock for some, the approach I utilize works through it; to not let it dominate you anymore. Ask yourself this, do I want my past or any other thing to control, who I can be. Some of the work will be difficult, you set the pace, and I will be your guide to the navigate the course.

Born and raised in the inner city by a single mother and a large extended family, I noticed the needs of those that were mentally or physically diagnosed were often not met. Therefore, I began to inquire about what I needed to do in order to be a part of the solution. I began to work in the field and I have worked in Behavioral/Mental Health for close to 20 years. My experience covers a plethora of ages and diagnosis across many settings. My determination to treat and support those with mental health diagnosis during the pandemic inspired me to perform outpatient therapy via telehealth to adults and adolescents. I specialize in adults 25-55 with various diagnoses but primarily Anxiety, PTSD, trauma and Depression to name a few.

The value of serving others has been evident throughout my life. Having many years of work experience, including the armed forces, has helped me become a more flexible and well-rounded individual. My experience is across a variety of behavioral health settings including various levels of education, structured outpatient and inpatient psychiatric facilities, outreach and community mental health, managed care, and private practice promoting alternative therapies such as Emotional Support Animals as an accommodation and Hopscotch Play. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), additional credentials are Certified Anger Resolution Therapist (CART) and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP).

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in helping individuals struggling with OCD, intrusive thoughts, and trauma. If you feel stuck in “what if” fears, mental loops, emotional overwhelm, or patterns that are hard to change, you’re not alone and effective help is available. Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I believe in meeting you where you are and tailoring my approach to fit your unique needs. I use evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for OCD, along with CBT and DBT to help you break free from these cycles and process past experiences. My approach is warm, structured, and focused on helping you build practical skills so you can feel more in control, grounded, and confident in your daily life. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health clinician with 10 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and families facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe that therapy is a space for healing, growth, and reclaiming your inner strength. I mainly specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and burnout. My therapeutic style integrates dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based techniques, reality therapy, and trauma-informed care, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I also continue to work with couples, and families. My earlier years specialized in family therapy, parent/child conflict, using evidenced based models to help with the family structure in-person, in the homes, but I have made adaptations to the specific models so they can be continued in outpatient therapy. In our sessions, you’ll find a nonjudgmental and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and build practical tools for change. Whether you're navigating a crisis or seeking deeper personal insight, I’m here to walk with you at your pace.

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.
