Have you ever looked at your family and thought to yourself (hopefully quietly): "Goodness, our family is so dysfunctional!" "Why can't we just get along, and connect in a healthy and 'normal' way?" If you've asked yourself any of these questions, you've come to the right address. I'm happy to help your family work to become more "functional." In a direct yet gentle way, I ask my clients tough questions and offer them concrete tools to move forward. Clients come away from sessions feeling well understood and empowered.

Hi, I am a John, Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia. I received my Master’s of Counseling from Augusta University. I have been practicing for 15 years working with adolescents and adults that are or have been struggling to overcome mental health problems that affect their lives and those around them. I provide a listening ear, cultural humility and professional insights to help the whole person grow. Extensive travel throughout my life, first as a child of a service member and later as a result of employment in addition to being part of an international ministry team has afforded me with insight and an open minded approach to working with the thoughts, feelings and intrusive behaviors that you may encounter on a daily basis.

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. I value your time and money by utilizing evidence-based psychotherapy techniques to help you get better faster and learn the skills to help keep you out of a therapists office in the future.

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.

I truly saw the need for more mental health professionals in my community when I lost my father in 2006. Since that day, I began my journey of understanding the mind and how it works. We go through many major life transitions such as breakups, divorce, having children, new professions, loss of income, moving, pandemic stress and more. Most do not realize just how traumatic these seemingly “normal” events are to us at times. I am here to help you if you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry or confused concerning anything that has been thrown at you in your life. If you feel that what you are dealing with is too much to handle on your own, please reach out to me. We cannot stop this cycle of numbing or ignoring mental health issues in our world if we do not start within. As a mental health advocate, I am here for you. I have seen the impact of a lack of relatable and accessible mental health programs and providers. I am here to be the bridge and get you the solutions, support, and guidance you need.

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.

Welcome! I am Aubrey G. Ashford, Jr., a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS) with over 20 years of experience working with adults, children, and families.

His expertise includes Anger Management, Mood Disorders, Addiction Recovery, and topics of Spiritual Integration.

I would like to describe myself as a guy who likes to collaborate with clients to reach their goals and help guide them to overcome barriers that are stopping them to achieve them. I currently work as a social worker at the VA and meet with veterans who are trying to maintain housing, while also managing mental health and substance abuse issues. Through out my career as a social worker, I've dealt with at risk youths, inmates, and substance abuse, and homeless population. I've come to realize that a lot of people have one thing in common, they all would like to be treated with respect and allow them to have their autonomy. My great listening and problem solving skills with my clients help them to come to solutions to their own problems. That's what a lot of my clients can expect is a person who ask open-ended questions to help them consider things that they normally haven't and challenge their thoughts or desires versus their actions in life.

I believe everyone has the potential for change when provided optimal psychoeducation, a space to be vulnerable, and individualized therapies that are driven by genuine warmth and support.
