Hello and Welcome! What an honor to have you take this courageous step toward finding a therapist. Are you dealing with overwhelming life challenges? Do you experience the pressures of modern life? Do you experience loneliness? In your day-to-day life, do you ever feel uneasy? What about when it comes to your job? Do you find it difficult to establish boundaries and say “no”? Even if you are aware that changes are a natural part of life, do you find it difficult to adapt to any changes? Do you feel unsure of yourself and struggle to make decisions? When you have to "adult," do you feel worn out and emotionally and physically exhausted? Do you experience shifts in your mood that may be challenging to overcome? Are you experiencing any symptoms of loss and grief? If you answer yes to any of these, you have come to the right place. I work with adults who are experiencing daily stress, anxiety, self-doubt, fear, and depression to decrease their symptoms and reconnect with themselves, so they can gain confidence, inner peace, and self-acceptance, free of anxiety and fear, to live their most authentic lives. Are you willing to share some of your challenges and have me as your guide? I invite you today to take a moment for your mental well-being, for yourself to pause and notice, to learn and unlearn, and to let go of anything that is no longer serving you.

Hi there, my name is Karen. Are symptoms of stress, anxiety and/or depression getting in the way of you enjoying life to its fullest? Are your relationships or job performance feeling the impact too? Accepting support could be the best decision you make to start heading in a much better direction. I find it to be an incredible honor to get to know clients, no matter where they are on their journeys. And I love the process of holding a safe space for those ready to do what it takes to break free of the perceived limitations that difficult symptoms conspire to create. And for those just thinking about getting ready too! I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches (including CBT, Nurtured Heart, EFT), infused with some humor and deep reverence for the clients with whom I have the honor of meeting. If you're looking for support, even if it's not with me, I hope you take that first step today!

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. If you are ready to begin to realize a better you, I invite you to set an appointment.

My name is Danielle Jones. I am a graduate of Antioch University with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since 2016 my experience has ranged from anxiety, depression and trauma to ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Experience and training have allowed me the privilege of working with adolescents and adults ranging from 15 and up as a mobile therapist and in office settings. Treatment modalities include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Understanding the continuously changing environment and demands that impact mental health, I constantly look for and take advantage of educational opportunities of client-centered treatment modalities that ignite client participation for purposes of collaborative positive change. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor my passion is bringing healing to people who are struggling with some of life’s challenges. I believe that helping people understand and connect to their thought processes creates the foundation for positive change. Using a personable and empathetic approach to understanding people’s challenges, I have made it my purpose to guide and support clients on their journey to achieving and maintaining an improved quality of life. Every treatment approach is unique to the specific needs/goals of the client. Therefore, I take pride in developing a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship that allows clients the freedom to begin their healing process. I offer an environment that clients can feel safe in to explore and challenge themselves. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family (as I take on my new role as a grandmom), traveling and reading. I am a huge advocate for self-care and strongly encourage my clients to engage in self-care activities. Some of what I enjoy the most are decorating, gardening and crocheting as hobbies.

Hi, I'm Ashley! I help women tap into their resilience, restore hope, and transform their lives with authenticity, compassion, and a passion for seeing women thrive. I like to consider myself THE therapist for women. My mission is to help individuals navigate life’s difficulties to become the best possible versions of themselves. Both my clinical and personal experiences have taught me that, though we cannot control everything, we can control our behaviors, perspectives, beliefs, actions, and HEALING. I plan to equip you with the tools needed to promote your overall well-being and facilitate lasting positive change. I hold EMDR and talk therapy sessions with clients who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and difficulty navigating challenges and transitions. However, I specialize in perinatal mental health, infertility, and EMDR. In addition, I run a support group for women struggling with infertility. Through additional training and certifications, I have and continue to develop a variety of tools to support you, and I may use different techniques during our work together. Accordingly, my approach is best described as client-centered and strengths-based, drawing also on theories and strategies of cognitive-behavioral therapy. When I am not practicing as a therapist, I am spending time with my family. We love to stuff our faces with tasty food and find new adventures. I also dabble in wedding photography as a creative outlet. But generally, you will find me advocating for women struggling with infertility and all the experiences it brings. I can't wait to work with you!

My name is Dr. Olushola Bakare, and I'm a board-certified Psychotherapist. I attended St Joseph College. I'm happy to help you today with any of your concerns. I enjoy empowering people and digging out their strengths. I don't ask fish to fly, neither do I ask birds to swim. I respect everyone's strengths and help my client recognize them. I love to highlight my client's strengths. I offer a safe, warm, therapeutic, judgment-free space for Adults (18+) and Older Adults (65+). I am sorry, but I do not accept clients who pay in cash. Also, every late cancellation or no-show accrues a late charge fee. It is my ethical duty to officially terminate our therapeutic relationship when it is reasonably clear that the client is no longer beneficent, services are no longer required, counseling no longer serves the client's needs and interests, or Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT limits do not allow the provision of further counseling services. It is the policy of Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, that our professional relationship will be terminated after a one-month consistent lapse of meeting with a client. Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, will attempt to notify you of this change in status as soon as possible after one month. My ethical duty is identifying, being available, and caring for current clients. It could feel awkward for our relationship to end, yet it is not meant to be discourteous in any way. I do not complete disability forms (Social Security, work excuse, FMLA, Court papers/legal papers, emotional support letters, etc). NO COUPLE THERAPY OR MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, PLEASE!

TaMara brings a wealth of experience in an unconventional way. As a former owner of a home healthcare company, that primarily provided services to the elderly, TaMara found herself assisting families, particularly adult children, who had to make tough healthcare and financial decisions for their parent(s). She helped families establish goals on how best to support their parents in maintaining dignity and independence while simultaneously identifying the next steps in the event of their parents’ passing. While families had to come to terms with the physical, mental, and/or psychological changes seen in their parents, taking on the parental role was quite emotionally challenging for adult children. TaMara supported the entire family in managing these delicate issues.

Hi there, I am Rachel a licensed clinical social worker and therapist. Are you struggling to figure out the solution to your internal conflicts, but don’t know where to begin? You don’t like the way things are going, but have fallen into the cultural norm of just pushing through? Do you feel like you’re “just present” or on autopilot? Do you struggle to be intentional? Maybe it’s sleep deprivation from being awake all night with your newborn, the stress of your career is keeping you awake or even the struggle of balancing life, as they say “life keeps life-ing.” Let’s talk about it… My area of expertise includes pregnancy and postpartum support, conception, birth trauma, and loss. In addition, I work with clients experiencing fluctuating self-esteem, imposter syndrome, depression, anxiety and emotions surrounding intergenerational mobility (change in socioeconomic status/income) and generational trauma. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

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. I love to utilize CBT, CPT, trauma informed care (TIC) and Motivational Interviewing as treatment modalities.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Delaware rather than a city like Wilmington?

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 Delaware from Dover to Newark! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Delaware.

Will my therapist take Independence Blue Cross?

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