Your mind is always busy. Its like you have 50 browser tabs open on your computer, you can’t remember which one you were supposed to be looking at, and one of them is playing music! You’re so tired but can never seem to rest. You forgot to switch the laundry over, again. There is something sticky on the floor and you are late for an appointment! Something has got to give…maybe it is time for a new notebook? New calendar system? Maybe you should just make one on Canva real quick...Does this sound familiar? Feeling seen (or attacked)? If so, you may be in the right place! I'm Kim 😊 I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker, trauma therapist, ADHDer, mom, serial hobbiest, and corgi lover. I am neurodiversity affirming and a safe therapist for gender and sexuality diverse folks. I have lots of experience working with people who are struggling with PTSD/C-PTSD, ADHD, parenting issues, and life transitions. I am all too familiar with the gifted-kid to anxious-adult pipeline. I understand that for some people, really hard things may come easily and really basic things may be very hard. I love working with people who are tired of repeating the same old cycles and are ready to make a change.

Orlando, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hello, my name is Bryan, I am a licensed clinical social worker and have experience working in several clinical and therapeutic settings. I started my career working for Advent Health Hospice Care, one of the largest non-profit hospital systems in the country. Through this position I gained experience in providing therapeutic counseling services to individuals and families who are going through major transitional periods in their lives (receiving a terminal illness, death of loved one, living adjustments etc.) As a result I am well experienced in dealing with depression, anxiety, situational stress, loss of a loved one, grief, and am understanding of how medical issues can affect a person’s mental health. I have also worked for Orlando Health at the Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women and Babies covering the ED/Triage, antepartum and postpartum units of the hospital. This position gave me experience with providing crisis interventions and psychotherapeutic counseling to patient's who have a history of severe mental health issues, or who are actively experiencing medical emergencies, traumatic events, domestic violence, manic/depressive episodes, psychotic episodes, and suicidal ideations. In addition, I provided education on post partum depression and child care. In 2021 I began teaching classes as an Adjunct Professor for the University of Central Florida's College of Health Professions and Sciences. I have also worked for the National Suicide Prevention Line where I learned how to deal with a variety of mental health and emotional crisis situations over the phone. I feel well equipped to help my clients deal with a variety of issues, weather in person, or online. I take an objective and collaborative approach to understanding problems, and work with clients to create strategies to address problems head on so that clients learn the skills necessary to achieve their goals.

St. Petersburg, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hi, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and rediscover their inner strength. My approach is warm, collaborative, and flexible—I believe healing happens in a space where you feel truly heard, respected, and supported. I work from an eclectic and client-centered foundation, drawing from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and strength-based approaches to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a safe and nonjudgmental way. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, grief, or just feeling stuck, I meet you where you are and walk with you toward meaningful change. With couples, I use tools from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and other attachment-based models to help improve communication, repair trust, and rebuild emotional closeness. I understand that relationships can bring both joy and pain—and I’m here to help you deepen your connection and create new, healthier patterns together. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I tailor our work to your unique story, values, and goals. I believe in your capacity to heal, grow, and thrive—and I’m honored to be a part of that journey.

Pensacola, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) woman, a proud veteran, and someone who knows what it’s like to carry invisible weight. I became a mental health counselor because I believe in real conversations, trust built over time, and having a space where you don’t have to hide what you’re feeling. People who work with me often say they feel like they can finally exhale. I bring calm, compassion, and honesty into the room. I’m not here to judge or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to walk beside you as you figure things out—whether that’s making sense of the past, dealing with hard relationships, or just trying to feel more like yourself again. I’ve worked with people who didn’t even realize how much they were holding in until they had someone to talk to. I know that reaching out can feel scary or uncomfortable. That’s okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. You don’t need to call what you’re feeling “trauma” or “anxiety” if that doesn’t feel right to you. All you need is the sense that something needs to shift—and the willingness to take that first step. Outside of work, I’m grounded by my own healing practices, community, and culture. I value humor, kindness, and realness. You don’t have to show up as anyone but yourself. If you’re reading this and wondering if things could be different—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to go through it alone.

I'd first like to recognize the strength it has taken to reach this stage in your growth and healing. Seeking assistance can often be an overwhelming task, but you're on the right path! I have had the privilege of accompanying people on their path towards "something better" for roughly ten years, of which the last four have been spent as an independently practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am relaxed, direct, and I strive to make every moment within our work together as productive as possible. I'm accessible and easygoing.

Palm City, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida accepting new clients. I try to match what the client in front of me needs. I use a client-centered approach most often and evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavior therapy or motivational interviewing. I'll give an open, nonjudgmental space to help you move through rather than around difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations. I can help with a variety of concerns from adjusting to life changes, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and/or unresolved trauma. For trauma work, there a few methods that we discuss and choose depending on needs: EMDR, CPT and NET. Each trauma intervention is quite different in method but the ultimate goal is the same: post traumatic growth.

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 Military/Veterans?

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, Military/Veterans, 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.
