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. Warmly, Nubia Anacius , MS,NBCC,LPC Licensed Psychotherapist

Greetings! Secular psychotherapist here. Is taking care of everyone but yourself breaking you down? Tired of being called “co-dependent”? Do you have beliefs that are different from others and feel a little “off”? Are you becoming more and more anxious or depressed? You're not alone. I help those looking for a professional confidant and can help with processing difficult transitions and even traumas. Maybe the transition you are going through is attempting to take care of aging parents while raising a family of your own. Or perhaps you are having difficulty setting boundaries with a toxic person in your life. Perhaps you are having difficulty with relationships due to a past that seems ever so present. My therapeutic style is empathetic and interpersonal. Person-centered. I use evidence-based talk therapy (Acceptance & Commitment, Narrative, etc.) and mindfulness techniques. I believe in our getting to know one another well over time. I welcome diversity in my practice, including those with other than traditional orientations: religious, sexual, gender, or otherwise. Hit the “Book Session” today to find out if we are a fit.

Hi, I’m Brittany, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping women who feel disconnected from themselves and overwhelmed by the weight of life’s demands. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly juggling family, friendships, work, and relationships—yet still feeling like you’re falling short—you’re not alone. So many women carry the invisible load of expectations, people-pleasing, and perfectionism while struggling quietly under the surface. My work centers around supporting women who are tired of feeling like they’re just going through the motions. Maybe you're constantly questioning yourself, battling anxiety masked by a smile, or losing sight of who you are outside of your roles. I find deep meaning in helping women slow down, step out of autopilot, and reconnect with the part of themselves that’s been buried under self-doubt and the constant noise of everyday life. In therapy, we work together to uncover patterns that no longer serve you, like people-pleasing or struggling to say "no" without guilt. I guide clients in learning how to set and maintain healthy boundaries, rewrite the internal narratives that fuel anxiety, and build self-trust and confidence. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and deeply rooted in helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered. You deserve a space to exhale, explore who you are beneath the surface, and discover clarity in the chaos. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you reconnect with your strength and reclaim the life you want to live. If you’re ready to begin the journey of healing and self-discovery, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Hello! I'm Courtney, a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist. I've been practicing post grad for 18 years and 20 years including internship training. I've been providing sex therapy for the majority of this time as well as train and supervise other sex therapists in training. My approach is direct and I don't often sugar coat things. If I see or hear something of importance or relevance, I am going to mention it to see if this something we need further explore together. I'm trained as a systems therapist and often describe myself as "an engineer for humans and relationships." I'm trained to identify and observe patterns in clients and their relationships and help them create change by changing the patterns and then experience a paradigm or mindset shift. As systems therapist, I am not often gathering a bunch of historical information at the start of our work. At times, this information is not always needed, and when it is, we can discuss it down the road. Even with my trauma modalities, I don't often have clients retell all of their traumas; instead, we focus on what is not working for them and address the traumas that are unprocessed or unresolved. Due to insurance limitations, I am only able to see couples, relational or family clients at a self pay rate.

We are a group practice specializing in trauma, attachment, depression/anxiety and addictions. Our approach to therapy is person-centered and we will cater your services to your specific needs. We also operate from a psychodynamic theoretical orientation in which I believe that we must take in account the situations and experiences from our past in order to better understand our present. With this, our therapists will work heavily on helping you understand certain thought patterns, ways of behaving and in some cases recover suppressed experiences and memories. Our therapists have specialized trauma training in EMDR and Brainspotting and I will incorporate these modalities when needed. I have a passion for working with the minority and marginalized (LGBTQA) communities in order to break the stigma of going to therapy and bringing awareness to certain generational traumas. My goal is to change the idea of what it looks like to address your mental and emotional wellness by providing non-traditional and alternative techniques to healing. I do not discriminate against race, class, gender, gender identity, belief systems, or sexual orientation.

Hi! I'm Becca. My expertise is in helping adults address concerns with trauma, grief and loss and anxiety. I specialize in working with those who have experienced childhood abuse, traumatic loss, sexual assault, religious trauma and vicarious trauma in their work, such as first responders. Have you been told to just “get over it?” Are you prone to keeping things inside because you don't want to burden others? This is a space where you don’t have to explain why it’s hard. With specialized training in all forms of trauma, grief and loss, and anxiety, I offer support and encouragement as you navigate those hard emotions and thoughts. Initiating counseling or transitioning to a new therapist can be challenging. I will always do my best to listen and understand your concerns, reduce distress and work to improve your self-compassion. I am a goal oriented therapist but also flexible enough to shift to meet your needs in session. I look forward to working with you!

I am a seasoned Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families through complex emotional and mental health challenges. Holding a Doctorate in Clinical Social Work, I bring a deep commitment to evidence-based practice, trauma-informed care, and client-centered support. My path to becoming a mental health provider has been deeply rooted in a commitment to supporting children, families, and communities. I began my career working closely with young people and their families, which shaped my understanding of the importance of early, compassionate intervention. After earning my Master’s in Social Work, I worked as a school-based therapist, where I witnessed the transformative power of accessible, empathetic care within educational settings. Currently, after I pursued my Doctorate in Social Work, my focus has expanded to helping individuals of all ages reach their full potential and experience greater happiness and fulfillment in life. I bring a strengths-based, client-centered approach to every session, grounded in evidence-based practice and a genuine belief in the capacity for growth and healing. My work is not just a profession—it’s a lifelong commitment to walking alongside others on their journey toward well-being and empowerment.

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.
