Acknowledging that seeking support is a profound act of courage, I believe that meaningful growth and healing are achieved through a collaborative, cooperative partnership. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of depression, anxiety, and trauma, utilizing evidence-based, trauma-informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Additionally, I incorporate the Gottman Method to support couples in strengthening their relationships and resolving conflict. My diverse clinical background spans working with pre-teens, adolescents, young adults, and older adults across individual, family, couples, and group therapy settings. I operate from the core belief that every individual possesses inherent strengths necessary for growth; together, we will identify those strengths, clarify your personal goals, and develop practical, healthy coping strategies to foster a more fulfilling life.

Recovery is not just about substances. It is about reclaiming yourself. I believe we are all recovering from something, whether that is trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief, unhealthy relationships, substance use, or years of surviving instead of truly living. Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about reconnecting with the version of yourself that has been buried beneath life's experiences. I work with millennials who are ready to better understand themselves, break unhealthy generational patterns, and create lasting change. Together, we will explore what is keeping you stuck while building practical skills that help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and intention. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I create a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable while also feeling supported enough to grow. I believe therapy should be compassionate, practical, and empowering. You can expect me to listen with empathy while gently challenging the beliefs and behaviors that may no longer be serving you. Whether you are navigating life transitions, relationship struggles, trauma, anxiety, substance use, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you do not have to face it alone. My goal is to help you not only feel better but also build a life that feels authentic, balanced, and meaningful. Together, we will focus on helping you move beyond survival and toward lasting recovery and healing.

Healing begins when you finally feel safe enough to stop pretending you're okay. That is the space Dr. Shawn creates. Clients often describe therapy with Dr. Shawn as feeling like sitting across from someone who genuinely sees them before asking them to change. She believes that every behavior has a story, every protective response once served a purpose, and every person deserves to be understood without shame. Whether someone is recovering from trauma, learning healthier boundaries, navigating life transitions, or simply longing to feel like themselves again, Dr. Shawn meets them with compassion, honesty, and hope. She helps clients move beyond surviving toward living with greater peace, confidence, and emotional freedom. Her goal is simple: To create a space where you no longer have to carry your story alone and where healing becomes something you experience, not just something you talk about.

Hi, I'm Marina! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I have a special interest in exploring how our childhood experiences shape the way we connect with others today and how mental health can influence the different versions of ourselves we show at work, with our families, and in our relationships. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, feel accepted, and explore who you are without judgment. I believe therapy doesn't have to be serious every second—we can acknowledge the weight of life's hardest moments while also making room for humor, self-compassion, and perspective. Together, we'll work on building healthy boundaries, improving communication, challenging unhelpful patterns, and developing greater self-acceptance so you can show up as the version of yourself that feels most authentic. Outside of the therapy room, you'll usually find me with a good book, at the gym, watching Grey's Anatomy, or spending time with my two sweet nieces, who keep life fun and full of perspective.

f . Hello, I'm Brenda Ned, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate life challenges. My experience spans working with clients dealing with stress, anger management, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, trauma, ADHD, and social anxiety. I believe that with the right support and willingness to work towards goals, anyone can change their circumstances and improve their quality of life. My approach to therapy is rooted in several methodologies, including Rogerian, person-centered, existential, and CBT. The person-centered approach is fundamental in my practice, as it allows me to focus on your unique needs and facilitate meaningful progress through empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence. I practice active listening, ensuring you feel heard and understood by rephrasing your statements and asking pertinent questions. In our sessions, I strive to be a role model through congruence, demonstrating authenticity and consistency. My commitment to unconditional positive regard means I accept you without interrupting and avoid giving unsolicited advice. I also incorporate existential-humanistic therapy, which is hopeful, constructive, and centered on the present moment, helping you build a positive and forward-looking mindset. Cognitive- behavioral therapy is another cornerstone of my practice. CBT helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By changing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, you can improve your mental health. By changing your thought patterns, you can gain a clearer perception of your situation and identify what you can control. I genuinely care about my clients and am dedicated to helping them achieve a better quality of life. We will establish your goals and work toward them in a supportive and collaborative environment. If you're ready to take the next step towards a better future, I'm here to support you on your journey. Let's work together to create the change you seek.

Grief
Life Transitions
Hi friend, I'm Sarah. I believe that grief is a natural response to love and loss, and that no one should have to navigate it alone. Whether you're grieving the death of someone important to you, caring for a loved one with a serious illness, facing anticipatory grief, or adjusting to a life transition you never expected, I offer a supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in contemporary grief theory and the companioning philosophy of Dr. Alan Wolfelt. Rather than focusing on "moving on" or "getting over it," I help clients understand their grief, honor their experiences, and discover ways to carry their loss while continuing to build a meaningful life. It is a privilege to walk alongside adolescents and adults as they navigate some of life's most difficult seasons.

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Reiki II practitioner. I believe that somewhere underneath the anxiety, the self-doubt, and the patterns that keep repeating, there is a version of you that already knows the way. My job isn't to fix you. It's to create a space steady enough that you can actually hear yourself. Together we get curious about the thoughts that won't quiet down, the emotions that feel bigger than the moment, the behaviors that keep showing up even when you don't want them to, and what all of it is actually trying to tell you. I utilize a holistic approach, bringing tools into our work that help you understand what's happening in your mind and body when you're overwhelmed, so you can actually do something about it instead of just surviving it. But more than any method or modality, I show up as a real person walking alongside you, trusting that you are the expert on your own life. If you're ready to listen to that wiser part of yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to walk with you.

Can’t say no, can’t find motivation, can’t sit through another meeting, can’t stop worrying, can’t wear the mask and pretend to be okay, and/or can’t get out of bed. The list goes on, because at some point or another, we all feel like our struggle is too much to handle. But “trouble don’t last always” and you do not have to face your battles alone.

As a therapist, I don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach. I sit at a rare and powerful intersection of neuroscience, practical behavioral strategy, and deep, soul-level healing. Here is who I am as a clinician: 1. I Bridge Logic and Depth I possess the unique ability to bridge the gap between the logical, analytical mind and the emotional, intuitive self. Through CBT, I am practical, structured, and evidence-based. I help you map out your mental loops and provide immediate, actionable tools for your daily life. Through IFS, I pivot into a compassionate, non-pathologizing depth worker. I don't view you as "broken" or needing to be fixed; instead, I see you as a system of protective parts that deserve to be understood, healed, and unburdened. 2. I Provide Specialized, Biological Relief My specialization in CBT-I means I deeply understand how the mind and body are connected. I don't just talk about stress abstractly—I actively solve the physiological crises, like chronic insomnia, that stress creates. This allows me to deliver tangible, measurable relief to your biological baseline so you actually have the physical energy to do the deeper emotional work. 3. I am Efficient, Collaborative, and Transformative I am not interested in passive, aimless "venting sessions" that drag on for years without progress. My approach is active and modern. I act as a grounded guide to help you catch and rewire your immediate habits while simultaneously healing the deep-seated root vulnerabilities that drove those habits in the first place. My Clinical Vibe I provide a premium, sophisticated space where science meets profound self-discovery. To my clients, I am a warm, deeply empathetic anchor who can hold space for your most vulnerable inner world, while remaining sharp and structured enough to keep you moving forward toward a true internal reset.

Hi, I’m Farah Southwell, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in McDonough, GA.  I received my Bachelor's & Master's of Science from Barry University in Miami, FL.  I served  multicultural individuals and families in various community & private settings.  I am fluent in Creole and familiar with French.  Taking the first step toward therapy can feel both empowering and scary, and I'm glad you're here. I specialize in helping adolescents, adults and families navigate depression, anxiety, family conflict, and major life transitions. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative space. My approach relies on a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Treatment (SFBT) and Family Therapy, helping you identify negative thought patterns while developing healthy, lasting boundaries.  I will teach conflict resolution, problem solving and communication skills.  I became a therapist because I am deeply passionate about watching individuals reclaim their confidence and find peace in their daily lives.  I believe that families can interact and work together in a functional way.  In my other life, I enjoy watching Mystery, Thriller, Horror and Crime-Drama movies and spending time with my family.  If you're ready to start this journey, please reach out via GrowTherapy.com to schedule an appointment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through a wide range of life challenges. I earned my PhD in Clinical Social Work and Supervision from Walden University in 2026. I earned my Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University in 2008, after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Psychology in 2004. My academic journey also includes two years at Florida State University and an Addictions Certificate from the University of Michigan, which I received in 2015. After graduating, I returned to my hometown of Detroit, Michigan, where I became licensed and began practicing as a social worker. Throughout my career, I have worked as a therapist, crisis manager, and adjunct professor; roles that have allowed me to develop a well-rounded, real-world understanding of the issues people face in everyday life. My work has been guided by a strong commitment to strengthening both interpersonal and intrapersonal awareness as a pathway to meaningful change. I believe that growth happens when individuals feel understood, supported, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life’s complexities. Through my work with individuals and families across the lifespan, I strive to approach each person with compassion, curiosity, and respect, supporting emotional, mental, and physical well-being at every stage of human development.

I'm Gem Coleman, a Licensed Professional Counselor. My practice and professional journey of over 15 years is rooted in the belief that rest is a birthright and ease is something every person deserves, not something they have to earn. My path to this work was not a straight line. It was shaped by lived experience, personal healing, and a deep calling to create the kind of therapeutic space I once needed myself. I understand what it means to appear capable and composed on the outside while quietly carrying more than anyone around you knows. That understanding is not just clinical for me ,it is personal, and it informs every room I create for my clients. I am relational, warm, and direct. I believe in going beneath the surface , not to excavate pain for its own sake, but because real healing lives in the places we haven't yet had the courage or the safety to explore. I draw on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including CBT, ACT, EFT, and somatic therapy, always tailoring my work to the whole person in front of me. My Caribbean roots, my faith, and my commitment to equity shape both who I am and how I practice. I am especially passionate about serving communities where the stigma around mental health has too often stood between people and the support they deserve. If you've been waiting for a sign that it's finally your turn ,this is it.

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.
