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.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. I received my Master's degree from Clayton State University and have been practicing for four years. I help adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and processing how past relational traumas impact present-day relationships. My goal is to provide compassionate and effective support, empowering you to overcome obstacles and achieve greater relationships with yourself and others. I personally enjoy bringing a sense of spirit into my work with clients. While not a necessary part of the process, I truly believe our work is most impactful from a mind/body/spirit lens. Do not be surprised if I talk about "energy". All spiritual and religious backgrounds are welcome, as I enjoy learning from clients as much as I enjoy teaching new skills and perspectives.

You’ve spent so much of your life showing up for everyone else that somewhere along the way, you may have stopped checking in with yourself. On the outside, you might appear strong, capable, and high-functioning, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck trying to hold everything together. Whether you’re navigating relationship stress, family expectations, burnout, anxiety, life transitions, or simply trying to rediscover who you are beyond survival mode, therapy can be a space where you no longer have to carry it all alone.

Hi. I'm Christine. Over-stressed and demoralized these days? Are familiar activities and places that you've found soothing suddenly not offering relief from anxiety and depression? There is no failure or shame in revamping your coping skills, finding inspiration in new narratives, and challenging old beliefs that keep you from embracing the many versions (discovered and undiscovered) of you! Are you caught in the comparison trap? Spiraling in a bad algorithm? I will help you find meaningful connection, improve relationship skills, and teach emotional regulation strategies. Life transitions can be tricky too, and it can be helpful to talk though periods of loss and change. 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 enjoy tapping people into various modes of expression, and I'm drawn to helping people live their most authentic lives.

Hi. I am a LPC in Georgia and a LCMHC in North Carolina. Additionally, I am a Nationally Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I received my master's degree from VCU in 2015, became licensed in 2020, and have been practicing on my own ever since. I live by two mottos "It takes a village" and "take time for you". It is important to “take time for yourself,” because we need time to recharge, so that we can continue to persevere. However, there comes a time in everyone’s life where the support of the village is needed. That’s why I believe it "takes a village” and working together as a team is important. Whether it is a clinician and client duo, or a team of medical professionals, we can achieve reasonable and practical goals.

Hello, I am Brandi and I provide individual counseling to adults and children above the age of 12. I seek to help you access your inner strength and promote the change needed to lead a healthier and balanced life. I view the counseling process as an alliance between you and I. In this alliance you are the expert and I will help you navigate those areas you find overwhelming. In our sessions together you will have a safe space to express your feelings and heal. My theoretic approach to counseling is knowing you are in charge of your life and have the capacity to enact change in your life. You will learn the bounds of aspects of your life that you can control and what you cannot. You will understand that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which you will be expected to put in the effort for homework, be accountable, and present within the counseling alliance. I look forward to working with you and helping you realize your full potential. Contact me today.

Hi, I’m a trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their sense of self through healing, empowerment, and practical support. I specialize in working with clients navigating boundaries, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and rooted in creating a safe, collaborative space where clients feel seen and heard. By around our third session, once trust and commitment to the growth process are being established, I incorporate personalized at-home activities to support accountability and ongoing development. Self-care is a core focus in my practice, and for clients who desire it, a faith-based perspective can be thoughtfully integrated into our work together.

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 Georgia. 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 UnitedHealthcare/Optum?

Yes! If you use UnitedHealthcare/Optum you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have UnitedHealthcare/Optum 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.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
