*Currently accepting new clients via teletherapy.* I am ready to help you! I have been a therapist for 10+ years and my mission is to help you find balance in your life. I view therapy through a holistic standpoint, in which I use the mind and the body to help you get to the wellness that you so deserve. I became a therapist because I wanted to help clients navigate the stresses of work and life and make meaningful changes that would improve their mental well-being. At the first session, you can expect a non-judgmental and an easy-going conversation to build up a therapeutic alliance. At the moment, I practice entirely over tele-health, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely. I received a Master's degree in family psychology, in 2010, from Hardin-Simmons University in Texas. I engage others by helping them feel comfortable while also being solution focused. I prescribe to a Cognitive behavioral approach which helps others see life's problems and solutions in a better light. I work with individuals ages 5-100, families, adolescents, marriage or relationship counseling, premarital counseling, and parents who need some guidance raising their children. Some areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, bipolar, problem solving, relationship specialist, communication skills, anger management, coping skills, relaxation exercises, and panic attacks.

Hi there! Starting therapy can be an intimidating process, but I hope I can help make it as positive and collaborative as possible. As a therapist, I specialize in treating phobias, anxiety disorders (social anxiety, panic disorder, agoraphobia), OCD, Depression, and Trauma (PTSD). My goal is to aid you to moving to a life without fear. I know anxiety can be incredibly debilitating, so if you're ready to make a change and start facing your fears, I am the right therapist for you! I specialize in evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, and depression, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD/ trauma, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is a specialized form of therapy for phobias, panic disorder, and OCD! Unlike some providers, I can assure you we will actually do exposures in session. Typically the first intro sessions are assessment and education, but we quickly move into creating your fears hierarchy and facing your fears using achievable steps. My goal is to help you overcome challenges, change behaviors, and help you live your best life. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from New College of Florida and continued on to receive my master's in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy from UCF in Florida. Outside of being a therapist, I love bachata, tea, and spicy food.

A little bit about me, my name is Amanda Chilleme, I am a Florida and North Carolina Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master’s Certified Addiction professional. For the last 11 years I have been helping my clients identify intrinsically important goals, overcoming obstacles, and build the foundation for a better future. My specialty has been working with men and women struggling with both substance abuse and process or behavioral addictions; helping them to find the pathway to a life unencumbered. I also have years of experience treating clients with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, bereavement, trauma, attachment, and personality disorders. As a clinician, I utilize a human focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on; you already know the “what”. As a clinician, it is my job to help you understand the “why”, and eventually, the “how” (to fix it, overcome it, or just plain throw it away). Your first session, is essentially a two-way interview; as I listen to your story/narrative, and the “rough draft” begins to unfold, WE as a team determine if, 1) I am the right therapist for you, and 2) If you are the right client for me. If we both agree to move forward from the first session, identifying your goals will be your first assignment; giving you the opportunity to do this, helps me to better see how you think and interpret your barriers (i.e. stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, etc.). I am your coach, teammate, and cheer leader! We will focus on one goal at a time. Whether you are just starting this process, or you have been in it for a while, I encourage you to plant that mustard seed, and watch just how beautifully you can grow.

Hello there, I’m Andrea! But, please feel free to call me Andy. First off congratulations on seeking the support you, your relationship, child, or family deserves. I know it tends to be a difficult step in our journey towards healing. That being said, aren’t you tired of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders and navigating through life in autopilot? Do you struggle to tolerate the distress that comes from everyday living? Are you constantly finding yourself trying to overcompensate from old wounds, betrayals, and childhood trauma? Would you like a space to process and heal so you could ultimately live a more balanced life in your relationships, career, and personal life? If you are, you came to the right place. I guide others through their healing journey by offering a both culturally sensitive and client-centered approach. Remember, you are the expert of your life! Through this process, I will integrate a sprinkle of the art of self-disclosure to build rapport and connect with you as the humans we are. I incorporate a combination of evidenced-based techniques along with my knowledge of relationship dynamics to facilitate the utmost level of therapeutic outcome. In sessions, we will process emotions in a judgment-free space while simultaneously increasing your distress tolerance skills and communication tools to promote healthy relationships with others around you. Whether you are dealing with crippling anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family difficulties or simply want to grow and expand your human experience and live to your fullest potential, I’m here to help. Let’s get you through this!

Hi I’m Lisa. I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in trauma. You may think you do not have trauma, but I have experience with working with all levels of trauma. From unthinkable, terrible things that may have occurred in your life or in somebody’s life that you care about to smaller traumas such as divorce, your parent’s divorce, unhealthy relationship patterns, the loss of a job, of a pet. Do you feel stuck? I specialize in cognitive behavioral approaches that help us examine unhealthy belief systems, thought processes and behaviors that keep us stuck. I teach my clients cognitive techniques that can be used daily to shift those unhealthy patterns that have kept you stuck, allowing you to make small changes that can ripple into bigger changes, setting you free to live your best life possible. I have made these changes in my own life and I would be honored to help you do the same.

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 LGBTQ?

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. For example, your selected specialty, LGBTQ, is filtering therapists in Florida that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.
