I have extensive experience with individual therapy, working for substance use treatment centers, and working at various psychiatric hospitals. I have worked in roles including Behavioral Health Tech, Case Management, Primary Therapist, and Clinical Supervisor. I have worked with age groups ranging from young children to geriatrics. I firmly believe that in order to help someone, you have to understand them. In order to understand someone, you require personal life experience to truly understand where they are coming from. I am very passionate about what I do. People have asked me previously if I enjoy what I do. I inform them that in my perspective, this is what I "designed" to be. There is no "taking off the therapy hat" for me - this is simply who I am and my purpose. You will learn very quickly how dedicated I am to serving people. I am well-versed in both DSM-IV and DSM-5 (the manuals used to diagnose someone). I have dedicated approximately 30 years of my life to this. Many clients throughout the years told me in their words that I am the "best therapist" they ever had. I encourage you to hire me and judge for yourself. I was entered into two international honor societies (top 15% of students in the field across the span of 8 countries with a flawless 4.0 GPA). Please note: I am a licensed mental health counselor. If you are seeking medication management, you will need to book an appointment with a psychiatrist.

Do you feel like nobody really understands you? Do crowded places leave you overstimulated and drained? Perhaps you avoid social situations, struggle to focus or experience constant mental fog. You might be questioning if you have ADHD or autism, or you might already know and you are seeking someone who understands your experiences. Anxiety might increase with routine changes, leaving you feeling stuck and unable to complete tasks despite your efforts. You may catch yourself wishing to escape or needing someone to truly listen. If you relate to any of this, remember you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it by yourself.

I’ve been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than 25 years, primarily utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy as an effective tool to treat anxiety and depression. As these can be emotionally debilitating conditions, addressing these issues can improve one’s sense of well-being, and thus their lives, dramatically. I have also more recently incorporated spirituality into my treatment regimen, thus addressing that aspect of one's personality in relation to their recovery from depression and/or anxiety.

I enjoyed working with children and their families for 15 years, and then I transitioned to the medical field, where I was blessed to continue my growth within a variety of settings. My husband and I have one spoiled dog, Bo, a boxer-hound mix, who brings lots of laughs to our home. My specialties include working with adults (age 18+). I can help people who are dealing with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression find ways to cope. Those who are struggling with adoption issues may need extra support and assistance as they sort through their feelings. Caregivers who are feeling overwhelmed with life can find a peaceful place to land during our sessions. I particularly enjoy providing Christian-based counseling, as that is an important part of who I am. I believe that laughing about life with my patients can help us explore together what may be on their hearts and minds. NOTE: I can offer in-person sessions on a very limited basis in an office in Orange Park, FL, but I am primarily utilizing the telehealth format. You must be in a setting that is private and has stable internet for our telehealth sessions.

Hi! My name is Nancy Muricken. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Tampa FL currently accepting new clients via Telehealth! I provide individual therapy with a pinch of millennial energy and the spice from South India. That being said, I hope that you and I can soon spill the chai! Let me go first. I was born and raised in Queens, NY (just like your friendly neighborhood Spiderman) where I grew up in a South Indian household by parents and extended family from Kerala, India. Now if you are like me and was born or grew up in America but raised by an Immigrant family, there are a lot of values. traditions, and pressure that are instilled in us. Mental health is completely disregarded or taboo and Masala Chai, Vicks, and prayers became the answers to all our problems. I'm all for Chai and praying but imagine if we had proper insight and coping skills as a child in a supportive environment alongside spiritual support? We probably wouldn't be here scrolling for a therapist for our mother and father wounds. That being said, the psychodynamic approach is one of the primary approaches I utilize in therapy to help identify patterns from our childhood which affect our behaviors, actions, and relationships in our present life. I use Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my other treatment methods to help clients embrace their present lives, identify patterns of thinking, and reframe negative thoughts. I am an email or phone call away. Book your appointment today! I am excited to meet you and for your journey to healing.

Hi, my name is Christian. I have been a therapist for almost 19 years now. I began this journey because of my own upbringing and experiences throughout my life. I have had my own personal array of issues with mental health and addiction within my family and friends. My life was once a mess and now I love my life, and I am mostly a very happy and fulfilled man. The only way that this happened for me was through therapy and being heard and seen. I love to help other people find their own peace of mind and happiness.

My clients are people who want to move from feeling "stuck" to having a greater sense of purpose, empowerment and clarity. My approach to counseling uses a relational model that creates a safe environment where I encourage my clients to develop resiliency and self-empowerment. Life is very hard. My goal is to have each person leave a session feeling more capable to handle whatever life throws at them.

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.
