Life is unpredictable and the experiences we have influence our belief systems, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This is true of both beautiful and traumatic experiences. There are only so many things we have control over within the systems we navigate. My goal is to help you figure out the things you do have control over, heal from the experiences that have negatively affected your life, and support you through the up's and down's of self-exploration.

Choosing to start therapy is a big step, and I don’t take that lightly. It’s truly a privilege to walk alongside people in seasons where they’re growing, reflecting, and working toward healing. My approach isn’t just built on training and clinical experience—it’s also shaped by my own personal journey and my faith.

Hi, my name is Alice Williams. I have been a counselor for around 12 years. My experience has been working in clinics, mental hospitals and also virtual appointments with BetterHelp. Now I am joining Grow so clients with insurance and private pay can utiliaze my services. I think you will find me to be a genuine person who is nonjudgemental and caring. I use various treatment approaches depending on the clients needs. Music is a love of mine. I travelled for over eight years doing a program for people in recovery. Being from Nashville, music was always around, so I incorporated my love for music into my various philosophies. I have two grown sons who are doing very well in life even though I went through a divorce with their Dad. Issues arose, but we worked together to make the best life possible. Grief has not been a stranger to me. My daughter was killed in an accident at 16 in a roll-over accident. It devasted my family but we are survivors and the last thing she would want is for us to be sad all the time. We remember her with love and devotion, always in our hearts. Thinking about your problems all day long can cause major anxiety as well as depression. Living in the past is not being present as well as living in the future. Staying in the present moment and doing what you can each day according to your values is a key to living a life of joy and meaning - even though there is pain and suffering around us. I sincerely hope you give me and all my years of experience a try and let us work together to make a better life. Thanks.

I'm Cherysh Caldwell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Georgia and Alabama. I work with adults who are capable, accomplished, and quietly carrying more than the people around them realize — navigating burnout, anxiety, life transitions, and the particular weight that comes from living and leading in systems that demand a great deal and don't always give much back. My path to this work is not a straight line. Before clinical practice, I spent years working at the intersection of people and systems — as an educator, a nonprofit executive, a public administrator, and a local government leader. That background shapes everything about how I work. I don't just see the person in front of me. I see the environments, relationships, and pressures that shaped them. I bring that same depth to therapy — creating a space that is honest, affirming, and grounded in the belief that sustainable wellbeing has to be intentionally designed. If you are ready to stop managing and start building something different, I'd be glad to work with you.

I believe that seeking therapy is an act of courage and self-love. Choosing to care for yourself in this way is a meaningful step, even when it feels challenging. In our work together, we’ll explore how your past experiences, relationships, cultural background, and life patterns influence how you feel and show up in the world. I also pay attention to how your body, emotions, and the social and gendered aspects of your life play a role, helping you connect mind and body while gaining insight into what drives your patterns. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating questions of identity, belonging, or cultural transitions, as well as those processing trauma, life changes, or difficult emotions. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, no matter your story. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface while also developing practical tools to manage stress, regulate emotions, and strengthen relationships. Therapy can help you uncover recurring patterns, build resilience, and cultivate a deeper, more compassionate connection with yourself and others. I see therapy as a collaborative process. You bring your experience, and I bring guidance, skills, and support.

I am a dedicated social worker who has served individuals and families since 2004. My background spans foster care, behavioral health, crisis-prevention programs, medical social work, and long-term care coordination for clients receiving Medicaid services. I’ve also supported families navigating court involvement, custody disputes, parental conflict, and adolescent drug-prevention programs. I work with a steady, compassionate, and practical approach—drawing on CBT, Christian counseling when desired, and years of multidisciplinary experience to help clients create meaningful and lasting change.

As an older adult, I've had the benefit of life's many experiences (good and bad) and feel strongly that no situation is ever wasted. There is always an opportunity to learn and grow. I'm an adult child of an alcoholic and an abuse survivor. I have two grown children who have taught me a great deal as we continue to navigate life's joys and challenges. I enjoy helping people explore their own goals, perspectives, and providing them with a safe, supportive, and confidential space to become their personal best.

Mr. Darling is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving the Atlanta metropolitan area. He has earned a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management and Marketing from Marshall University, a master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, and an Education Specialist degree from Valdosta State University, and he has over 20 years of experience as a counselor. Mr. Darling believes starting therapy can be daunting, especially if you don’t feel ready. Therapy is a collaborative process that guides clients to increase self-awareness, gain new perspectives, decrease symptoms, and increase personal strength for a more meaningful life experience. Mr. Darling uses an eclectic therapeutic approach primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He truly believes that therapy is for everyone, but not every therapist is for every client: therefore, he encourages open communication regarding the process of therapy so clients can best overcome their obstacles.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

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.

Will my therapist take EAP:Cigna?

Yes! If you use EAP:Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have EAP:Cigna 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 a specific issue?

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.

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 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.
