I am not your typical therapist as I started my career in finance and have an undergrad in Business. While I could succeed in this path, I did not find meaning in it. I see becoming a therapist as a calling and not a vocation. I first worked in acute mental health as an advocate, then as an addiction counselor, and eventually after receiving my MSW as a dual diagnosis therapist. I have much empathy for the hurting and have always been drawn to those who have suffered from mental illness, addiction, and the effects of trauma. As such, I have been a mental health advocate, addiction therapist, mental health therapist, trauma therapist, psychiatric director, and behavioral health COO. I feel like I have seen all levels of behavioral health care and use that wealth of experience, resources, and specialized training to help others. I believe that compassion and empathy are keys to change and try my very best to meet you where you are. I also value diversity and have worked with a wide range of the problems that individuals and couples struggle with. Most of all, I am not a respecter of persons and have worked with the homeless to the CEOs of major corporations. I feel that we are all just humans and that we all struggle with similar challenges and problems. I have also worked with a great diversity of people from very diverse cultures and many international clients.

I am a practicing Licensed Professional Counselor, a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, an author, an empowering media personality, and a proud veteran of the United States Army. You may have seen me as "The Mind Doctor®" on hit TV shows such as Bravo’s Married To Medicine, VH1’s Love and Hip Hop, WEtv's Bold & Bougie, WEtv’s Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta working with rapper, producer, actor, and superstar Bow Wow, and WEtv’s Brat Loves Judy with rapper, producer, actress, and Funkdafied super star, DaBrat! While I have been viewed by millions of people on television, my humble beginnings actually started on television as a six-month-old baby being placed for adoption and featured on the “Thursday’s Child of The Week” segment. After being adopted in Los Angeles, California, I grew up in a multi-cultural family from East Side San Jose, California. Prior to earning my Ph.D. in Psychology via an academic institution, I had already earned my Ph.D. in "Hustling" via the streets of the Bay Area in the dope game. I acknowledge a divine intervention and acknowledge, “Only God could have me go from selling dope and destroying lives to offering hope and restoring lives. Look at Gawwwwd!”

Real talk—life’s messy, people are complicated, and therapy shouldn’t feel like a tense, uncomfortable session where you’re scared to be yourself or worried about being judged. I’m human too, and making sure this space feels genuinely safe, welcoming, and judgment-free isn’t just something I do, it’s at the core of who I am as a therapist. You deserve to be fully seen and heard exactly as you are, no masks, no pretending, and I’m here to keep it real with you every step of the way. I am a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience working alongside children, adolescents, adults, and those facing some of life’s toughest challenges. I bring a spunky, eclectic energy into the room and aim to create dialogue that feels real, honest, and refreshingly human. Never forced or scripted. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, weaving together multiple evidence-based methods to tailor treatment that fits you, not the other way around. Specializing in trauma, major depressive disorder, suicidal ideation, anxiety, PTSD, and navigating complex family relationship dynamics, I’m committed to fostering autonomy and safety in every session. I welcome all identities and backgrounds with open arms, ensuring everyone feels accepted and valued in this space.

Hello, I'm Liz, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience. My journey in mental health therapy has been deeply rooted in a trauma-informed approach, and I have dedicated much of my career to helping individuals understand personality disorders—their own and those of family members. I have a strong connection with the LGBTQIA+ community and extensive experience working with children through music, art, and theater. My practice also includes working with families, couples, and individuals, addressing a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, body dysmorphic disorder, and struggles related to transitioning or alternative life styles. Additionally, I have supported many clients who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I use EMDR as part of my trauma treatment. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I reject stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive therapy, tailoring our dialogue to meet your unique and specific needs. For those clients who feel “stuck” in time from trauma I also use EMDR for complex trauma. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! -Liz Lizotte

I am a licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Georgia and Alabama. My focus areas of practice are anxiety, depression, identity development, academic and career stress, relationship social skills, trauma, and resilience building. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based educational counseling. My approach to therapy is the holistic integrative counseling approach that combines evidence-based practices with a focus on the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. It draws from multiple therapeutic frameworks, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, to create a personalized and flexible approach tailored to each client's needs. My client's focus in counseling is on adolescents and young adults, with a strong emphasis on helping them achieve academic success, develop leadership skills, build resilience, and foster personal growth. My communication style is empathetic and supportive by building trust through active listening, validating emotions, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space. I was attempting a career as a therapist because my mother was a school counselor, and I saw the effect that she had on her students. I wanted to do the same thing in my community. What drove me to this work is being able to see people doing better. My approach to goal setting with clients is by using a SMART goals framework. Use the SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound to help clients set clear and actionable goals.

Licensed Psychotherapist | Culturally Sensitive | Trauma-Informed Welcome, I’m Nubia. Healing doesn’t happen overnight — but with the right support, it absolutely happens. Whether you're working through trauma, betrayal, anxiety, divorce, or simply feeling emotionally stuck, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity, strength, and care. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress, or emotional wounds that have been hard to process alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of how to break free from patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we explore the deeper “why” behind those patterns — and create space for healing, resilience, and growth. My approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). These methods help us understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected — and how to gently shift the beliefs that keep you feeling stuck. But beyond technique, I lead with authenticity, compassion, and cultural awareness. In our sessions, you’ll find a space that feels safe, honest, and judgment-free. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re returning to it, you are welcome exactly as you are. Clients often tell me they feel more centered, more empowered, and more hopeful after working together. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and virtual sessions, because healing should fit into real life. If you’re ready to begin your journey — whether you’re clear on your goals or still figuring them out — I’d be honored to support you. Let’s take the first step, together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia who has been practicing since 2013. I believe in working from a deeply empathetic and validating perspective that can create a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By focusing on understanding the underlying thoughts and emotions that contribute to symptoms, I am able to help clients gain insight into their attachment wounds and how they may be impacting their current relationships and well-being. Uncovering attachment wounds is an essential part of the therapeutic process, as it allows clients to recognize and make sense of their past experiences and how they may be influencing their present lives. By exploring these wounds together, I can help clients develop a greater understanding of their attachment patterns and how they affect their sense of self, relationships, and overall emotional well-being. Repairing attachment wounds involves providing clients with a corrective emotional experience within the therapeutic relationship. By offering empathy, understanding, and acceptance, I can support clients in building trust and developing healthier attachment styles. This process may involve exploring and challenging negative beliefs or self-criticisms, practicing new ways of relating to oneself and others, and fostering self-compassion. Additionally, focusing on resilience can help clients develop the inner strength and coping strategies necessary to navigate challenges and setbacks. By identifying and building upon existing strengths and resources, clients can enhance their ability to bounce back from difficulties and adapt to life’s stressors.

Couples who love each other but struggle with sex often feel disconnected, frustrated, and unsure how to get back to intimacy. Many of my clients haven’t had sex in a while and find themselves arguing instead of connecting. They miss the closeness, the pleasure, and the confidence that comes from a healthy sex life. I help couples move from conflict and confusion to clarity and connection. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Certified Sex Therapist with 17 years of experience, I guide couples toward fulfilling, passionate intimacy they can enjoy throughout their lifetime together.

Jayne' Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a private practice based in Sandy Springs, GA. She works with couples, individuals and business leaders with a focus on leadership development, attachment styles and personality disorders. Many of her clients have found great success in their careers, but struggle to feel connected in their relationships or at peace in their daily lives. Jayne' is particularly sensitive to clients struggling in leadership roles and those facing the after-effects of unresolved trauma on their relationships. It is amazing to have dedicated time just for yourself to talk about you, or anything of your choosing, in a non-judgmental space. It is ok to be selfish in a way that allows you to explore, process and heal with support throughout your journey. Therapy may seem scary, but therapy with me is warm, enlightening and collaborative with a mix of a reasonable amount of challenge to help make changes where you feel they are needed. While therapy is a process, you have support throughout your journey to a path of a renewed life. Allow me to join you on your budding journey as you blossom and begin experiencing relief!

Hi there, I'm Lorrie. I'm so glad you are reaching out for help. That's a huge first step, and often the hardest part of your journey to health and happiness. I work with trauma, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and relationship issues. If you are dealing with difficult emotions and can't seem to stop worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, I can help! My approach to therapy is holistic, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. In our first session you can expect to learn more about somatic therapies, and other mind-body bridging practices. By the end of the session you will have some tools you can start using right away. We will work together to identify your goals for therapy and create a treatment plan just for you. I specialize in treatments that get you grounded, with a sense of safety, acceptance of what is, and curiosity and excitement about what could be! Before I became a therapist, I was a yoga and mindfulness educator for 30+ years. I bring my expertise in mindfulness, meditation and breath work into every session treating mind, body and spirit. What ever your mental health challenge, I'm here to help. Seeking out, and then showing up for therapy can be hard, but you are making the right choice! We'll work together using evidence-based techniques that are proven to help you manage your struggles and heal your trauma. I hope we connect soon and get you started on a path to healing and happiness right away. Just one other thing... I require all of my clients to have their cameras on during all sessions. Its a safety thing.... and I appreciate your understanding.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 23 years, and my expertise is related to working with adults that experience issues with both substance use and the common mental health issues that commonly co-occur. More specifically I specialize with helping clients understand the purpose drugs and alcohol have served in their lives so they can learn better ways of coping with issues that commonly follow - depression, anxiety, and trauma that lead to low self worth, no motivation, sleeplessness, overthinking, and low self esteem. Together, we will work to reduce your inner critic, reduce your shame, and heal your pain. My goal is to assist people in working towards fulfilling their fullest potential through healing trauma and overcoming life's obstacles. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I am a master’s level licensed clinical mental health counselor (LMHC), (LPC) and credentialed SUD Counselor (CASAC-A) (CADC II) with training and expertise in both Cognitive Behavior Therapy as well as psychodynamic treatment. I work with young adults and adults and have expertise in treating patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, compulsive, addictive behaviors and domestic violence. I have specialized training in various evidence-based treatments for trauma such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I hope to help patients learn effective ways to cope with stress, manage difficult emotions and communicate well with others. We have all acquired ways of coping that get in the way of our development, and manifest as emotional pain, such as anxiety and depression. I work with clients to identify and reduce these painful symptoms. Clients are then freer to use their energy in pursuit of their goals. I work with young, midlife, and older adults. I develop a safe and collaborative relationship with clients. In that context, I do short and long-term psychotherapy and train clients to use specific protocols to modify symptoms that are in the way of personal and professional functioning. My approach provides support, guidance, and education to help you become the best version of yourself and work towards achieving your goals. I consider it an honor to work alongside you, and I look forward to meeting you soon.

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.

I received an MA in Humanistic Psychology in 2007 from the University of West Georgia. I use a client-centered, humanistic approach focusing on aspects of Mindfulness, Existentialism, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, and trauma-related diagnoses as well as other life experiences. My learning and healing journey has been full of the unexpected and the changes have come in a variety of forms. Some I have savored, leaving me filled with a sense of wonder. Others have left me picking up the broken pieces, wondering in what possible way I might ever come back together again. I have been lucky, I think, to have the lens of Psychology to help me along the way. Along our way together I will offer this lens to you.

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 Trauma and PTSD?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in Georgia that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.
