Hi! I'm Katherine, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered therapy for adolescents and adults. I believe that everyone has a unique story, and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, struggling with past experiences, or navigating a significant life change, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and develop the tools needed to move forward.

👋 Hi, I’m Don Patton, I’m a licensed mental health therapist specializing in substance use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and the patterns that keep people stuck despite wanting to change. My background is primarily in residential treatment, where I’ve worked closely with individuals in early recovery navigating high risk transitions, emotional instability, and repeated relapse cycles. That experience has shaped how I approach therapy. I’ve seen firsthand that insight alone is not enough. Many of the people I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and capable, but continue to struggle when it comes to applying that awareness in real-life situations. My work is focused on closing that gap. I tend to be direct, structured, and practical in session. I will challenge thinking patterns that are keeping you stuck; while also helping you build tools that are realistic and usable outside of therapy. At the same time, I understand that change requires trust, consistency, and a space where you can be honest without judgment. My goal is not just to help you understand yourself better, it’s to help you create measurable, sustainable change in how you think, respond, and move forward.

With over 25 years of experience in the social work field, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings a depth of knowledge, compassion, and practical expertise to every therapeutic relationship. My diverse background spans school social work, special education support (including 504 Plans and IEPs), vocational services for adults with disabilities, and extensive experience in foster care and adoption. I have been married for 25 years and have 4 teen/young adult children. I specialize in supporting individuals, parents, and families navigating complex life challenges, including parenting and raising children with disabilities/behavioral challenges. My strengths as a counselor also include helping adolescents and adults struggling with symptoms associated with depression and anxiety. My approach is both empathetic and results-driven; helping people build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop effective coping strategies. I use evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions-Focused Therapy and tailor treatment to meet each person’s unique needs and goals. I am committed to empowering people to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. I have a warm, collaborative style and plenty of real-world insight. I provide a supportive space where people feel heard, understood, and equipped to move forward with confidence. I am available for telehealth (virtual) sessions or in-person sessions for anyone located in the Tampa Bay area. My office is located at 1150 Tampa Road, Palm Harbor, FL. In-person session can be booked by clicking on the "in-person" button on the appointments/scheduling page. (I have been licensed in the state of Florida as an LCSW since 2024.)

I have been a therapist for over twenty years. It is an honor to support clients to achieve their goals for joy, peace, and understanding.

I am here to listen and to support you as you explore where you are and where you would like to go.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of mental health experience. I currently work with clients age 18 and older.

During your journey and search for the right therapist, always remember you deserve to find a skilled professional with a style that suits your needs. Through understanding and validation, I strive to create an accepting, collaborative, and therapeutic environment for my clients while providing the skills needed to achieve meaningful change.

I am a Florida Supreme Court certified dependency mediator and credentialed instructor for the Department of Children and Families. I have 10 years experience as a counselor, and enjoy working with persons who have experienced ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and other traumas.

I specialize in holding space for the deep-thinkers and cycle-breakers, the individuals who have spent a lifetime looking inward and dismantling generational patterns, yet still feel the friction of a world demanding 'more' at the expense of 'being.' My approach combines a lifelong passion for psychology and therapeutic processes with a multicultural, spiritually grounded worldview. As a mother, a doctoral candidate, and a business owner, I don't just teach boundaries; I live them. I am a 'Keturah-sized' bridge in the wellness gap for those who have cycled through therapists searching for a peer who truly sees them. Together, we intentionally move past the '15 tasks by yesterday' mentality and into a strategic, soul-deep architecture of rest, healing, and expansion.

DeMarkus Grayson-Rhule has been practicing systemic therapy since 2019, utilizing this training in various contexts, such as crisis intervention and school-based care. My approach to therapy is a collaborative and solution-focused one, where we tackle the set goals together. I believe client's already have the tools necessary to confront their problems and that we tend to forget that. Thus it is my goal to help my clients figure out which tools to use when facing problems.

I’m a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, specializing in anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can openly explore their challenges and work towards meaningful personal growth.

My name is Corina Forte, and I am a bilingual mental health counselor providing therapy in both English and Spanish. For the past 15 years, I have supported adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, major life transitions, mood concerns, and the impact of serious illness. Many of the people I work with are capable, caring, and accustomed to holding everything together for others, yet feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of what they need. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, better understand the patterns shaping your emotions and relationships, and begin responding to life with greater clarity and intention. My approach is warm, collaborative, and honest. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely understood, while also offering thoughtful guidance and gentle challenge when it may help them move forward. I believe therapy should provide both deeper self-understanding and practical tools that can be applied in everyday life. I tailor my work to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, existential, Gestalt, mindfulness-based, and expressive approaches, depending on each client’s needs and goals. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, develop a healthier relationship with your emotions, make choices that reflect who you are, and create meaningful changes that feel sustainable beyond the therapy room.

Struggling to be kind to yourself? Difficulties keeping up with your relationships, work, and health? Looking for some guidance on finding meaning and making the most of your life? Are there obstacles in your path, past traumas, anxiety, or other stressors holding you back from being your best self? Allow me to be a compassionate counselor, healer, and guide on your life journey. I will empower you to identify and achieve your goals through a client-centered, humanistic approach tailored to your needs. My background includes clients working through issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, guilt, fears, terminal and chronic illnesses, spirituality, self-esteem, career and life uncertainties, addictions, and those just looking for an empathetic ear to listen or offer helpful feedback. Many psychotherapists attempt to use their preferred modality as a "one size fits all" treatment. While I stay up-to-date and am able to offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool. Together, we will craft and develop the best custom plan for your needs and desires, incorporating the therapeutic techniques we deem most useful for you. Join me in a completely safe, judgment-free, and confidential space to share, heal, smile, grow, succeed, laugh, and become your best self. No better time than the present to create your desired future, schedule an appointment with me today.

Hi there! You’ve come to the right place if you’re feeling stuck, tired of repeating the same old patterns in your life or relationships, or longing for something deeper, a happier, more meaningful life. Maybe you’ve tried changing before and felt afraid or unsure of how to move forward. I see you, and you’re not alone. I’m new to Grow, but I bring years of experience as a therapist working with individuals from all walks of life; different ages, backgrounds, and diagnoses. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, approachable, and supportive, while also challenging them to see things in new ways. I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves the chance to create the life they want, and no one should feel like they have to do it alone. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm and collaborative space. I’ll meet you where you are, help you uncover what truly matters to you, and start making real change right away. You’ll leave our first meeting with practical tools you can begin using immediately, and daily “homework” to keep the progress going.

Hello, I'm Allison. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist who has been in private practice since 2018. I previously worked in dual diagnosis treatment centers for addiction/ mental health for seven years. I help individuals, couples and families improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Many times clients who contact me have no experience in therapy, but just know that their life is not satisfying or something is off. That's enough by the way! Anything and everything can be discussed in therapy. I have frequently been told I'm easy to open up to, and clients often feel relieved that I am more directive than a therapist who listens without guidance. I enjoy cheering on my clients' wins, but also being there for the hard moments, and genuinely love what I do. Finding relief and reconnecting with a sense of peace is more achievable than it might feel right now—and once you start, the process of change often unfolds more quickly than you expect.

My approach is thoughtful, grounded, and tailored to each individual. I will meet you where you are, at a pace that feels manageable. Together, we will work to make sense of your experiences, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical ways to help you feel more stable, more in control, and more like yourself again. I bring both professional training and real-life perspective to my work, allowing me to connect with clients in a genuine and down-to-earth way. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes—it’s about meaningful, lasting change and having someone alongside you who understands how difficult things can feel. Reaching out for therapy is a big step, and I aim to make the process as supportive and straightforward as possible from the beginning. An initial conversation can help determine whether working together feels like the right fit, provide a sense of what the process might look like, and address any questions you may have. I would welcome the opportunity to connect.
