DeMarkus Grayson-Rhule has been practicing systemic therapy since 2019, utilizing this training in various contexts, such as crisis intervention and school-based care. My approach to therapy is a collaborative and solution-focused one, where we tackle the set goals together. I believe client's already have the tools necessary to confront their problems and that we tend to forget that. Thus it is my goal to help my clients figure out which tools to use when facing problems.

Hello! My name is Jeremy Brown!
Has it been difficult and tough sometimes to talk to others like family and friends? Do you feel like people around you are not listening or hearing you when you speak? Do you struggle with self-compassion and self-gratitude? Have you always turned to other means to cope when stressed such as alcohol or other substances?
I help individuals who are struggling with all the above and work side by side with you to formulate a healthier way to communicate and get to the root of your problems. I do so through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy which aims at changing the way we think and view various situations as well as solution focused therapy and strengths based techniques to show you that your are capable and strong to overcome. If you also struggle with substance abuse, I have 3 years of experience helping individuals suffering with alcohol, cannabis and stimulant use disorder find healthier ways to cope with issues than with the use of substances.
I want to applaud you for taking the first step in your recovery and healing, this can all feel scary at first but you are on your way to healthier version of yourself! In our upcoming sessions together, I will meet you with compassion and empathy and take a collaborative approach to help you overcome any obstacle in your way. I look forward to working with you!

If you're a millennial or Gen-Z navigating the rollercoaster of life, you're in the right place! This stage of life can feel overwhelming, especially with all the intense emotions, life transitions, and relationship complexities we face. I get it – I've been there too. That's why I specialize in creating a space fostering safety, insight and empowerment to achieve the goals that you're aspiring for.
As a relational therapist, I believe that healing happens best through connection and the ability to be your authentic self. Together, in our sessions, we will dig into what's happened in the past and what's going on now, working to uncover how it shows up in your body and your relationships.
We'll explore those intense emotions, family dynamics, and complex feelings that you're struggling to understand and communicate. Processing in therapy isn't only verbal, so I enjoy using activities you're interested in to help you feel motivated and grounded. What's important to me is helping you find your way back to yourself and the connections that matter most, with quality time and good company.
I enjoy connecting with others through my interests in cooking, baking, and hosting social gatherings. As a fellow creative, culinary arts and photography are additional focuses in my studies aside from mental health. I aspire to help other creatives break through their mental blocks, reconnect with their passions and find inspiration in their craft again!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is collaborative, meeting each client where they are while helping them build practical skills to navigate life's challenges.
I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, psychoeducation, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based interventions. I enjoy helping clients identify patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, increase self-awareness, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience. Whether clients are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, or substance use, I strive to create a space where they feel safe exploring difficult experiences and discovering their strengths.
Clients often describe my style as warm, genuine, direct, and encouraging. I balance empathy with accountability, gently challenging unhelpful beliefs while supporting clients in making meaningful and lasting changes. I value authenticity and work to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and collaboration.
My goal is to help each client gain confidence, improve emotional well-being, and develop the tools needed to create a life that aligns with their values. I believe therapy is not about fixing people, it is about empowering them to recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

What happens during the first therapy session?
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.
