I am a warm, compassionate, and direct therapist dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and self-understanding. My work focuses on supporting individuals who are neurodivergent or part of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, as well as those managing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, or family difficulties. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my practice, which allows me to connect with clients in an authentic and deeply empathetic way. With a specialized master’s degree in neurodiversity and ongoing doctoral studies in Professional Counseling with a focus on Marriage and Family Systems, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) through an attachment-focused lens. My clients often describe me as someone who listens with empathy but also provides honest, insightful feedback that inspires real growth. I strive to create a space that feels both safe and empowering—where you can explore your experiences without judgment and gain tools that make a meaningful difference in your daily life. I often incorporate workbooks, journaling, and mindfulness practices to support progress between sessions, tailoring each plan to fit your comfort and goals. Above all, I see therapy as a partnership built on trust, respect, and curiosity. My goal is to walk alongside you as you uncover your strengths, heal from past wounds, and move toward a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling life. PLEASE NOTE, I DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE FOR COUPLES.

I decided to be a counselor because I understood the importance of someone who looks like me doing this work. My goal is to create an open and affirming space for everyone including, Black bodies, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those creating healthy non-traditional relationships. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma are common issues that can impact your day to day lives and close relationships no matter your background. By the end of therapy, you will be more confident in speaking up for yourself and creating healthy boundaries. I utilize a strength-based approach that combines different therapeutic modalities that address generational trauma, negative self-talk, and strategies to improve your mood. I tend to tailor treatment to each individual to fit who they are and their needs.

Hi. I’m Christine. It might feel uncomfortable to think of yourself in counseling. Depression can tank motivation. Maybe you're up-in-my-face motivated like a Schnauzer I know with the mail guy. In any case, the change process can require more than shaking the Magic 8-Ball or Stevie Nicks’ tour schedule. If you are too young for those references, I still have your back. You've figured out social media, friends, and even your family don't have all the answers. I don't either, but my job is to help your thoughts not sound like bullies. I will help you authentically connect with improved relationship skills, and I will teach emotional regulation strategies, so your body doesn't feel like it’s being driven by, well, a Schnauzer. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in journalism, gardening, and photography. I am passionate about creating habitats for local wildlife and believe one's relationship with the natural world is impactful to their level of overall wellness. I have taken up kayaking recently and drawn to helping people live their most authentic lives.

Hey there, and congrats on taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life! 🎉 I'm so glad you're here — and I can’t wait to walk alongside you as you work toward your wellness goals. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, and Nevada, and I also hold a Clinical Supervisor Endorsement through the National Association of Addiction Professionals. Originally a Jersey girl, I earned my BA in Psychology from Rutgers University. I started out as a middle school teacher — yep, brave soul! — but after five years, I felt called to support people in a deeper way and help them navigate life’s more personal challenges. That path led me to the University of Georgia (go DAWGS!), where I earned my Master’s in Social Work, and I’ve been in the field for over a decade now. My specialty? Helping amazing humans heal from trauma, manage anxiety or depression, overcome substance use struggles, and tackle life transitions with confidence and compassion. I believe real change happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered — and that’s exactly what I aim to provide in every session. Let’s uncover your strengths, rewrite your story, and build a life you genuinely love. 💛 Ready when you are!

Sex Therapy
Women's Issues
My name is NIchole Hood and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in sex therapy for the past 13 years. Sex therapy is a form of counseling or “talk therapy” conducted in an open, relaxing, and therapeutic environment with the goal of helping clients deal with sexual concerns that may impede the path to optimal sexual health and satisfaction. I am also trained to conduct sex therapy with a spiritually-sensitive lens, if desired. One of my favorite words in the English language is “apricity”, meaning “the warmth of the sun in winter”. That is what I aim to help clients achieve in their lives and relationships. One’s intimate connections may have grown cold from hurt, betrayal, lack of intimacy, or maybe just the busyness or natural transitions of life, blocking out the warmth that had once been there. Because of the myriad of issues that can impact sexual concerns, I welcome each client as a unique individual—I will listen to your story to clarify the issues and develop a specialized treatment plan to help rekindle the fire and bring some warmth to those cold places.

I am here to help you remember who you are and build the capacity to hold life’s waves and find ways to root back into yourself no matter what is happening around you. My approach is person centered and creative. I weave nervous system regulation, expressive arts, mindfulness, and storytelling to help you feel safe in your body, clear in your mind, and hopeful about your future. Whether you are moving through grief, caregiving fatigue, anxiety, trauma, or simply the disorienting transitions of being human, I will meet you with compassion and honesty. I know the terrain of loss, overwhelm, and starting again. My own story has taught me that healing is never linear but it is always possible. Therapy with me is an invitation to be fully yourself, to process what hurts, and to grow into the life you long for with more presence, confidence, and ease.

I am a licensed mental health therapist in Georgia with 10 years of experience working as a counselor and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, to mention a few were substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, women adjusting to different stages in life, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD plus much more. My therapy style is client centered focusing on CBT and solution focus. I'm easy to talk to but I'm here to help (you pay me to be honest ;) so shoot my feedback from the hip but share it in a loving manner. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client or family centered, and solution focus. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! SIDE NOTE FOR FIRST TIME CLIENT'S I want transparency about late cancelation and no show charges. I understand things happen so the best way to communicate that is to reach out to me. In order to avoid the late cancelation fee please cancel within 24 hours and 1 min of the appointment time. Grow provides a cancelation link or you can reach out to me and I can help you reschedule the appointment if available. Also if a client does not log on within 15 minutes of the start time, it's considered a no show and the no show fee is charged.

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 the state. 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 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 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.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

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.
