Hello, and welcome! First, let's acknowledge that taking the first step toward bettering your mental health is both empowering and courageous! I know initiating the process can feel intimidating, but it’s also the start of a transformative journey. While I may be new to Grow, I'm certainly not new to providing therapeutic care. With over 11 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I have helped countless individuals and families from various walks of life over the years. In my private practice, Therapy with Krystal, I focus on supporting millennial women as they navigate tough life transitions, and as they're ready to begin healing from complex trauma. While I prioritize women of color (WOC), I'm open to working with all allied races and genders. Through a holistic approach, I aim to create a safe space where you can cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. Together, we’ll foster growth, healing, and meaningful change by approaching your story with curiosity, compassion, and positive regard. I invite you to show up as your imperfect, unfiltered self—so that, over time, you feel safe expressing your true self in every area of your life. You're the expert on your own journey. My role is to walk alongside you, offering insight, support, and encouragement as you move forward. My goal is to help you establish more balance, peace, and fulfillment in your life- whatever that may look like for you. If you're feeling called to work me, I encourage you to book a session to determine if we would be a good fit.

Hello! I began my social work journey in 2006 and have been working in the mental health field since I obtained my MSW in 2008. As a clinical social worker I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of helping individuals identify and address many mental health concerns and move towards the life they most desire. I am passionate about addressing the stigma around addictions and serious mental illness and I believe the best way to begin any mental health journey of recovery is with compassion and understanding. I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and I use a strengths-based orientation of empowerment to work with adults and couples. I feel that we are already our best selves-we just need some help letting go of the survival skills we've taken on to get through the toughest times in our lives. I have spent several years working exclusively with homeless veterans and individuals struggling with addiction, and this has given me additional perspective and insight into the needs of some of our most vulnerable populations. I am an advocate, an accountability partner, an empath and your greatest cheerleader. I'm excited to help you rediscover your best self and to claim the life you deserve.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use dogs in my office while doing therapy. Please schedule telehealth or advise in advance if you are not comfortable in an office with animals. They do provide therapeutic support to clients and have been part of my practice for some time. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

Welcome! I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Ga. and a registered telehealth provider for Florida. I've also received certification as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. During over 14 years in this field, I’ve enjoyed working within different settings, capacities and with various populations. My therapeutic practice is driven by the philosophy that the client is the expert in their life and that a team effort is imperative for optimal benefits. The foundation for my client-counselor relationship entails the treatment of all with respect and deliverance of individualized services. Witnessing that moment when a client meets any milestone is just as self-rewarding for me as your helping professional. I understand that reaching out for professional counseling services may be challenging. But I want to reassure you that this decision should be a positive, life-changing one. So, I commend you for your courage and am looking forward to accompanying you along this therapeutic journey!

Hi, my name is Renée and I have over 10 years of experience working in the field of mental health. Do you feel you are in need of help with everyday relationship skills and/or emotional issues. Relationships are the heart of life, and I am passionate about the skill of connecting with each other in order to learn not only about our relationships but to truly understand our own minds as well. Relationships are what tie us together and what motivate us to move forward in life. I am here to help you build positive relationships with not only the ones around you but with the one you have with yourself. My goal in sessions is to help guide my clients to achieve their goals through a psychodynamic lens and really tap into what has caused these unhealthy/maladaptive coping mechanisms.

I’m Micheal Franklin, and my journey into therapy began in a blue-collar family where my relatives worked in textile mills, battery plants, and furniture factories. Growing up, I aspired to carve a different path, aiming to be the first in my family to earn a college degree. I graduated from Western Piedmont Community College in Drug and Alcohol Technology and earned an Associate in Arts in 1996. I then continued my education at Gardner-Webb University, obtaining my Bachelor’s in Science in Human Services. Recognizing that the job market wouldn’t provide enough financial stability, I joined the Marines in 1998. During my service, I got married and welcomed a baby boy, which motivated me to seek part-time work with troubled adolescents and teens facing addiction issues. After leaving the Marines in 2003, I worked in a group home for adolescents and later became a Prevention Supervisor for adolescent substance use treatment. I also served as the lead treatment therapist for a Men's Intensive Outpatient Program at the Cognitive Connection in Hickory, NC. My passion for helping others led me to teach parenting classes and collaborate with Child Protective Services. I pursued my Master’s degree in Social Work at the University of West Florida while gaining experience in Community Mental Health. I also worked in a drug court program for two years. Since becoming licensed in 2014, I have dedicated my career to supporting clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders, and life transitions.

I started this journey of helping others in 2004 when I decided to make Mental Health a career choice. After earning a master's degree, I accepted my first paid position at Phoenix House of Brandon, FL and fell deeper in love with helping people emerge from whatever darkness they were experiencing in their lives. My passion is counseling those who struggle with various addictive behaviors (substance use, problem gambling, etc.) and co-occurring lifestyle issues. I have found person-centered, strength-based, and empathic approaches encourage clients to discover their capabilities for living a healthy, positive lifestyle.

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!
