Hey there, my name is Shana and I use she/her pro nouns. Are you feeling overwhelmed, a bit lost, or even detached? Have you felt kind of alone, or unable to identify how to motivate yourself to get to the next step? I work with all who are receptive to learn their capacity, and function within it to create the change necessary to grow and reach that next step. We can work together to identify needs, and create plans to obtain them. We'll not only use a whole self approach, but evidence based practice(s) as well. This may include CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and/or DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy). No matter what you're struggling with, be it addiction, anxiety or depression, I'm here to help you. The scariest thing is getting started; it is also what takes the most strength. You deserve this opportunity to work on you, and get all that you need to be the best version of yourself! I will meet you were you are, and help you through every step of the way! Lets get started on your next chapter!

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 Florida. 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.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
