Each age and stage of life brings new challenges and it doesn't come with a manual. My goal is to help clients navigate these transitions and challenges in the best way possible.
I have spent 12 years working with children and families in a school setting and have seen the way family struggles impact the individual. My particular strengths are communication difficulties, relationship struggles, parenting and attachment needs. I am a practitioner of TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Interventions) and practice human-informed care. I believe that strengthening our healthy relationships and connections can help improve our quality of life.

I think one of the most important parts of therapy is finding the right "fit". That relationship is key in helping grow, trust and meet any goals that you might have going into the therapeutic process. Let me give you a glimpse of who I am!
I'm Amy, a LMHC, who has been in the counseling world for over 15 years and love what I get to do. I started my career in the community health sector which I learned so much and worked with diverse groups of people with an array of various needs. I have worked in school settings as well as in homes. I have been deep within the community in many of my roles along the way.
I have developed many techniques along the way as not one intervention will work for everyone. Some of the modalities I use are EMDR, CBT, Motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques as well as a combination of these.
I meet people where they are, maybe having to learn how they are even feeling let alone how to cope with that feeling. Maybe we have a tool, but if no one ever took the time to teach us, then what good is that tool?

***Accepting new clients and wide range of appointment times outside normal business hours!***
I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients between outpatient clinic work, inpatient psychiatric facilities, and everything between! In my free time I read and play video games. I’ve learned many ways of coping with anxiety and depression, stress from home or work, along with many other issues.
I may not be your typical therapist who is warm and fuzzy, but I’m down to earth and connect with nearly every client I meet. I will give any client a shot. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

My work has mostly revolved around individuals and families coping with major life changes. Grief and loss can come in many forms - divorce, death, loss of a job, rejection from peers, etc.
In the past, I have worked in hospital, inpatient hospice, home hospice, and palliative care settings. Today, I see patients at bedside, in the home, and with patients transitioning to different phases in their life journey.
Aside from working with the patients themselves, I embrace strong family communication and problem solving. When parents need a higher level of care, caregivers often feel overwhelmed, ashamed, and dealing with many tasks to have the patient moved to a safer environment. I strive when helping these families utilize the benefits of their communities along with evidence based practice to obtain gains in regards to psychiatric symptomology.

Hello I'm Amy.
Do you feel like your mind is crowded and need a space to sort it out? Are you looking to find a judgment free space to unpack your thoughts and worries? As a therapist, I have helped those with a growth mindset to work on patterns and thoughts that are no longer serving them. I truly value the therapeutic relationship to help heal with a holistic approach, body, mind and spirit. I use integrated system's theory tailored to your needs. I use a variety of modalities to treat symptoms which could include mindfulness, cognitive behavioral theory and acceptance commitment theory. I am also a DBT informed clinician but find that therapy really varies depending on the client. This is your journey!
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, I would love to accompany you on a path of self-discovery and wellness. Vulnerability can be scary when seeking counseling. As your therapist, I promise to provide a safe and secure environment to grow and heal. I am looking forward to meeting you.

I am retired Army officer and a licensed and board certified clinical social worker. I am considered a subject matter expert in a few areas, primarily cognitive behavior therapy. I chose to be a cognitive therapist because it resonates with me and because it works. Traditional talk therapy can be cathartic and have a relaxing effect, but you could do that with a friend at no cost.

If you want a different kind of experience with someone who is open-minded, accepting, warm, curious, and insightful, I can help. We all have a story that's influenced by everything that has happened in our lives, and we are each in charge of the way that story unfolds. I love to use stories, myths, and visual analogies in my work. Let's work on yours together!
I have served clients for 15 years and have significant experience with groups, families, adults, adolescents, and children. I am a licensed professional counselor, a national certified counselor, and a certified professional counselor supervisor. I provide pre-licensed masters level counselors with clinical supervision as well.
My philosophy of counseling is inspired by the work of Carl Jung who incorporated concepts of archetypes into his theories and I am interested in discovering how we can apply these ideas to our daily lives using a depth psychology perspective. We are all here for a reason and can change the world from within. I'd be honored to help you on your journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, Georgia, Kansas and Nevada and I hold a Clinical Supervisor Endorsement thru the National Association of Addiction Professionals. Originally from New Jersey, I attended Rutgers University and graduated with a BA in Psychology.

I decided to apply to the University of Georgia and sought a Master's degree in Social Work. I have been licensed for over 10+ years. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with healing from trauma, alcohol and substance abuse, depression and anxiety and adjusting to various stressful life situations. I believe that change happens when people are given the support they need to draw on their own strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling, happy lives. I'm looking forward to working with you!

It is my goal to lead clients to ask the right questions and help them find answers that will result in a positive, forward movement in the therapeutic process. My main focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but use other modalities when necessary to help clients achieve the change they are seeking.
My practice involves, but is not exclusive to, marriage and family counseling, depression, anxiety, bipolar issues, LGBTQ issues, aging issues, workplace issues, mediation etc. I also provide faith based counseling when requested.
My practice is open to all regardless of who they are or the issues for which they may be seeking guidance. My goal is to help clients move forward positively, finding coping skills that work well for them. If in the process I or the client determine I am not the right fit, my self esteem is not tied to it. I will help them find someone who may work better for helping them to achieve their goals.

When counseling, I look at the whole person not just the current situation. I take time to get to know you and understand your situation and/or concerns. I treat all my clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be a difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one step at a time.
I have 6 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions and co-occurring.

Taking the step to therapy can be a scary and daunting decision. I will treat you with empathy and respect. I will create a space in which you can talk freely without fear of being judged. I am an ally to LGBTQ+, BIPOC, fire service, and veterans. I also offer phone sessions. If you were interested in a phone session, please note this in your intake paperwork.
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years of experience. I work out of a psychodynamic approach. I focus on the way in which present day circumstances are influenced by past events.
Whether you are looking to heal from PTSD, process intergenerational trauma, relieve depression or anxiety, learn to develop healthy boundaries, heal your inner child, or just need someone to process life with, there is space for you here. Growth looks different for everyone. What is it going to look like for you?

Hi! Are you searching for more meaning & purpose in your life? Unsure where to start? Are you stressed, depressed, having difficulties at work, or at home, or in your social life? You may be coming to therapy because you’re tired of pretending…of struggling…of trying so hard, but continually getting the same results!
I can help you gain control over anxiety, grief, depression, and feelings of hopelessness. My approach to supportive talk-therapy is that you truly already have within you the answers you seek. My responsibility is to help you find your inner strength & wisdom, and then to support you as you learn to clearly express the truth of who you really are. Your responsibility in therapy is to be honest and courageous! I will create a space where you feel safe enough to let your walls down and from there you can find balance, peace, joy, and even freedom from self-imposed and unkind negative thinking.
It may be different to think of putting your needs before others, but if you examine “selfishness” as “wise” or “foolish”, you will see how to use “wise selfishness” to develop a deeper compassionate relationship with yourself and others. (terms in parenthesis are excerpts from: The Book of Joy: Lasing Happiness in a Changing World; by His Holiness the Dali Lama, Desmund Tutu, et.al.)
Taking the first step toward therapy is huge! Yet, here you are, looking for a therapist that “fits”. Don’t stop now…day by day, in every way, you deserve to get better and better! Wherever you are is where we will begin. I’m empathetic and compassionate and work with valid tools and techniques that go beyond talk therapy. Let me support you as you navigate toward change. It would be my honor.

HI! My name is Mary Beth Ridderman. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia. In addition to my state licensure, I have earned credentials as a National Certified Counselor, a Qualified LMHC Supervisor, a Certified Clinical Military Counselor, a Certified Life Coach, a Board Certified Tele-mental Health Counselor, a Social Investigator, and a Qualified Parenting Coordinator in Florida Circuits 3, 4, and 8. I am proud to be a member of Chi Sigma Iota, an International Academic and Professional Counseling Honor Society. In addition, I am a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor and Sand Tray Therapist Candidate, working with people of all ages, to add interesting and fun personal growth activities to the traditional counseling experience.
A part of play therapy is sand tray therapy and I am passionate about collecting miniature items or “symbols” to represent all aspects of life. During video sessions, you will see my office and part of my collection. I love to teach other therapists and students about play therapy and sand tray therapy at universities or professional conferences.
I have over twenty years' experience working with families as a child advocate with the court system and I currently provide social investigations and assist parents and children involved in contentious divorce or visitation issues. Perhaps my most rewarding experience was seven years’ providing individual and group counseling in a shelter for survivors of domestic violence. My specialties are working with individuals who have symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety, anger, traumatic brain injury, or who are experiencing family issues. I do not treat clients who have issues with suicide, substance abuse, or eating disorders: those issues are best served in face-to-face sessions and by therapists with credentials for treatment.
Clients find that I genuinely like people from all walks of life, I am non-judgmental, and I am an excellent listener. Research supports, and I believe, that a strong client-counselor relationship is the most important part of the counseling experience and creating that bond is my goal. I look forward to meeting you, getting to know you, and working with to achieve your personal goals.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Savannah, GA. I grew up in Indiana and got my B.S. from Purdue University. I did my graduate training at Point Park University in Pittsburgh, PA. I moved down to GA about three years ago and I love it!
I split my clinical time between providing psychotherapy and conducting neuropsychological and psychological assessments. My therapeutic passion is working with people who are unsatisfied or uncertain with relationships, personal self, or life. I believe that the first step to change and growth is awareness. As such, my treatment approach focuses on getting to know the person inside and helping clients better understand themselves. With awareness, I find we can make decisions that are more authentic to ourselves and facilitate a life that is more fulfilling.
I have gotten a wide variety of experience over the years. A portion of my training was with college-aged students. I also provided therapeutic care to all ages during graduate training via community mental health and residential settings. My post-graduate specialty was in psychological assessment. In my current clinic, I work with adults suffering from relational issues, self issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health symptom presentation, as well as older adults for issues of cognitive change.

My name is Bill Massey and I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing in
west central Georgia and east central Alabama. I graduated from the University of Georgia's MSW program in 1993 and became an LCSW in 1996. I have worked in home health and hospice for most of my career with a strong emphasis on geriatrics and dementia care. I have experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and residential services as well.
I am looking to fill a niche that I have seen wanting attention for some time. For many years I have seen elders and their families in their homes but had to refer out any counseling other than crisis intervention to outpatient therapists. The problem is that I have been referring homebound people for outpatient therapy. This is not effective for many reasons.
With the help of Grow Therapy, I intend to offer my services of counseling and case management to people in the comfort of their own homes. I will become a mobile mental health provider to serve a population that has gone largely underserved for all too long. My coverage area for in-home therapy will be Lee, Russell, and Chambers counties in Alabama as well as Muscogee, Chattahoochee, and Harris Counties in Georgia.
I am opening up limited appointment times for virtual counseling as of mid May 2024.

Hello, my name is Robert Golan. I have been counseling for 29 years. I use a collection of techniques to help my clients. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my primary approach. I have found this method to be very successful with clients. I believe in building on client’s strengths which gives them the opportunity to express what they wish to accomplish while we work together towards that end. I prefer to use encouragement and help clients find their own motivation for improving their lives. I utilize mindfulness as well as behavior modification to augment my client’s well being. I also use Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when it is appropriate to help clients with past trauma. Counseling is a very collaborative process so I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
