I’m a person-centered therapist who values building a strong, collaborative relationship as the foundation for meaningful change. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore identity, relationships, and personal growth in a way that feels authentic to them. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and have experience supporting clients through a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and substance use. I have a particular passion for working with LGBTQIA+ clients and other marginalized communities, and I bring both professional training and lived experience as a gender-fluid person to my work. Outside of therapy, I’m a proud nerd, whether that means diving into Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, getting lost in video games, or deeply analyzing fantasy worlds and storytelling. I also tend to talk about my wife more than is probably necessary, and I think that appreciation for connection and everyday joy naturally shows up in how I work with clients. My goal is to help people feel more like themselves in their own lives, not less.

I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, understood, and accepted. Whether you are navigating emotional challenges, relationship or family conflict, questions surrounding gender identity or sexuality, attachment and codependency concerns, or the effects of trauma, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences without judgment. As a therapist, I bring compassion, curiosity, authenticity, and an affirming approach to the therapeutic relationship. I believe therapy should be collaborative and individualized, recognizing that healing looks different for everyone. I strive to meet you where you are, help you understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and empower you with tools to navigate emotions, establish healthy boundaries, and build more fulfilling relationships. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and diverse relationship structures navigating unhealthy or abusive relationship dynamics, attachment wounds, codependency, and unresolved trauma. I am particularly passionate about helping clients break unhealthy patterns, rebuild self-confidence, and develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. I also provide sex-positive, affirming care to sexually and relationally diverse populations, including polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships, as well as individuals and relationships involved in kink, BDSM, and consensual power exchange (CPE). My therapy space welcomes individuals, relationships, and families of all backgrounds, identities, sexual orientations, races, and cultures. You don't have to have everything figured out to begin. My hope is to help you heal from past hurts, navigate present challenges, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

I have over 10 years of experience working in mental health, and I have been in private practice for the last 5. I have spent the majority of my counseling career in community mental health, which has given me the skills to meet people where they are at, and to be able to work with a diverse client population. I have extensive training in the treatment of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety, anxiety disorders, phobias, eating disorders, and trauma/PTSD. I'm certified in EMDR, CBT, and integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities when working with clients. I grew up in the northeast, in a small town in rural Vermont. My family decided to relocate to southeast Georgia in 2023, and since then I have been providing telehealth therapy to clients throughout Georgia and Florida. I enjoy spending free time with my two children, my husband, and close friends and family. I enjoy being active and being outdoors as much as possible.

I am very psychodynamic as I believe in working with individuals on a holistic level and not solely on the here and now as there may be various reasons for what you are going through today. I have a strong passion for my profession and I advocate for all my clients while setting boundaries, actively listening to their concerns, and treating everyone fairly as it is my ethical duty to do so. I have changed many lives in my sessions while motivating and helping others find their true identity, purpose, and path.

I'm Robyn Richardson, and my passion for this work runs deep. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience, I've had the privilege of walking alongside children, teens, adults, and families through some of their toughest moments. My heart is especially with those healing from trauma—whether you're a survivor of abuse, navigating recovery, or working to break cycles of generational pain. I understand that, for many of my clients, privacy, discernment, and a truly bespoke experience are non-negotiable. My practice is intentionally designed to provide a discreet, elevated environment where you can be authentically yourself, away from outside pressures and expectations. I know that asking for help can feel vulnerable, especially if you've been let down before or spent years learning to manage on your own. But you deserve a space where you can finally exhale. A space where your story is held with care, your pain is taken seriously, and your capacity to heal is never in doubt.

I would love to work with you to help you through whatever you are experiencing. I believe anyone is capable of change. I like working with people who are experiencing that "stuck" feeling, that we all go through, at times. I believe that someone's thoughts have a great impact on how that person acts and feels. The more you think a thought, the more ingrained it becomes in your brain. These thoughts eventually form habits, which also includes emotional habits. I offer practical tools to help people change their habits in order to change their lives. My passion is helping people who experience anxiety, nervous system issues, as well as hormonal issues. I work with depression or low self-esteem. I work with stress management and developing coping skills. I use practical and experiential techniques such as relaxation and somatic exercises. I also offer Christian counseling. I also offer life coaching.

I know life has been so challenging and you have been dealing with brokenness, hurt, and pain from your past or maybe even your current circumstances. The emotional pain can become so overwhelming that it can consume and takeover daily living. When relationships and daily functioning become affected, it may be an indication that it is time to get help. I know it may seem that things will always be the way that they are now, but I am here to tell you that things can get better and therapy can be the beginning process. Having someone to listen, understand, and create a safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings is a great place to begin and it is what I am here for. I am committed to coming alongside you as you begin your healing journey.

Hello, my name is Ricardo Guzman, LCSW. I identify as openly gay and was born in Honduras, but have also lived in Hong Kong, China; St. Paul, MN; and New York City. What inspired me to become a therapist were my own struggles with Coming-out of the closet, experiencing anxiety and depression, having my first heartbreak, as well as dealing with addiction (I am Sober), so I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you. I will help you get back to self-love and acceptance.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Georgia. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

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.

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.

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.

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.
