My name is Dr. Omid Azadi and I provide individual psychotherapy for adolescents and adults, as well as couple and family therapy. I support my clients through a unique synthesis of western psychology and eastern philosophy that blends the knowledge of the mind with the intuitive wisdom of the heart. Helping others reach their own liberation and truth is more than an occupation for me, it is my purpose. From my own personal journey, I have come to understand the joy and fulfillment that is experienced when one celebrates who they truly are inside.

I have been in practice for three decades and have a vast experience helping clients through their journeys through grief, trauma and to the integration of their authentic selves within the natural framework of identity. My counseling orientation is gentle, caring and compassionate with a non-judmental attitude. I will gently challenge the patterning of thoughts and behaviors to elicit changes and at times sparingly add a touch of humor.

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to invest in your healing and growth. I believe we all carry within us the resources we need to enjoy life in a realistic and authentic way. As a psychotherapist, I help people utilize their thinking, speaking and actions to tap into the present moment and move towards greater health and wellness. I have experience working with mental health diagnosis and treatment In both outpatient and inpatient settings, substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, grief and loss and trauma disorder such as PTSD. A good therapist will not shame or blame you; will not try to become your parent or your buddy. They will cheer you on your journey and at times, help you see yourself in a new and different way. They will not do the work for you. They will help you keep accountable to yourself and the goals you create together in the work. They will encourage clear communication, authenticity, patience and compassion both for yourself and others. The therapy process is engaged, dynamic and can be immensely satisfying. I look forward to your journey and wish you courage, compassion and power!

Greetings, You may have read through a few profiles, and I owe you to feel the difference with mine. My name is Brahm, well, actually it is Robert Abraham Fay, my parents were hippies, so you can see where that went. Life can be difficult, and I know this first-hand. By the age of 17 I was in a homeless shelter (due to a violent alcoholic stepfather), and I had some people help me along the way. Vocational Rehabilitation helped me get a bike, and I rode to Valencia College for 2 years, was recruited to Rollins College on a grant, and attended grad-school at Troy University. I have taught upon resilience in: China, Russia, Germany, and the US. Here's what's up, of course life is difficult, and the more we run from it the more we suffer. All those years in homeless shelters taught me how to ask for help when necessary. I am a licensed clinician - perhaps trapped in a case manager's body. Counselors can provide a flashlight on all of the nooks & crannies of the past, but as your case manager, we are looking at a spotlight on your future. My job is to get fired. Plain and simple. If you are a member of a marginalized population, including all of my LGBTAQLatin+ Non-Binary, Sis, Pan, Poly & Unlabeled family, I see you and I love you. Let's find your voice, and then you can fire me! YAY!!! (confetti) That's the thrust of my existence, when I text you -- and you say, "Thank you for everything, Brahm, I think I've got this now." See? That's what's up.

Hi, I'm Trish Do you ever feel like you are your own worst enemy? Or perhaps that you will never have the life you want and have dreamed of living? Reaching out for therapy takes both courage and humility, and I am honored to join you on your journey. We all have blind spots and often fail to give ourselves credit for the strengths and qualities that our uniquely ours. As a therapist, I will promise to help bring out your best, so that you can make the changes needed to welcome joy into your life. I bring a ton of life experience to my practice, having faced the challenges of establishing careers- yes, more than one- raising a family of four children and maintaining a very, very, very long marriage. I have lived in eight states and six countries, and count several different nationalities among my family members. My early career was in the business world, including a Fortune 10 company as a human resources manager and recruiter. I transitioned into non-profit leadership and have sat on several boards of directors. I gain a sense of meaning by accompanying you on your life journey, especially during challenging times. My greatest satisfaction is to help you to remove the obstacles that are keeping you from the joy of living and loving.

Becoming a healed person is possible. Are you seeking a trauma therapist? Ready for change and seeking a guide who can facilitate you out of being stuck into the new life awaiting you on the other side of this? I help people to get out of their own way so you can finally get traction taking the actions to create the life you've always wanted. We all have a degree of trauma from this lifetime, including intergenerational trauma and survival patterning from our ancestors. All of this gets to be released as we gradually and gently come into living free and clear, safe in the present moment. When we clear out all the old energy from painful past learning we have clarity and become free and relaxed in the moment to make new choices. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. 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. You don't have to do this alone any more.

Hello! I'm Thuydy Nguyen (pronounced Tweety Union), a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Florida. I am pursuing a Ph.D. in sexology. As a Ph.D. student in sexology, I am currently pursuing my certification to become a sex therapist, which I expect to complete by November 2023. Have you felt that the pandemic has brought about changes in you or your relationships? Are you struggling to adapt to the new normal after the pandemic? Do you find it challenging to discover your authentic self or encounter difficulties in communication with others? Have you ever wondered, 'How can I openly communicate my needs, wants, and deep desires to my partner?' Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationships, struggling with intimacy, or facing sexual problems? I understand that uncovering your true self while navigating relationships can be a daunting task when done alone. I am here to help. As a dedicated and experienced therapist, I focus exclusively on assisting individuals and couples who are navigating challenges in their relationships, intimacy, or sexual matters. You will enter into an inclusive and supportive environment where your personal growth is highly valued. Together, we will identify, develop, and implement goals that hold personal significance for you. Throughout our sessions, we will work collaboratively to help you achieve your aspirations, dreams, desires, and goals. Through our partnership, you will develop confidence and acquire the necessary tools to express yourself freely and live your life to the fullest.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

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

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available 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.
