Congratulations on seeking therapy! Most people who seek therapy or counseling report that they experience an improvement in mood and anxiety. Timing is everything and I can generally see you within 48 hours. Unfortunately, many folks have to wait weeks to see a therapist. I believe I am easy to talk to and approachable. Therapists are excellent listeners and I will be honest with you, rather than just agreeing or dismissing your opinions. If you see me and we establish a plan, you will be able to determine how much you need and for how long. Since most of what I am doing involves Telehealth, I ask that you cancel ahead of time if you cannot meet per schedule. I will do this as well. As your therapist, I will: Respect your privacy Respect your schedule Respect your opinions and values Respect the severity and urgency of your difficulties Make myself available when you need assistance Help you find answers and solutions rather than feeling “stuck"

Hello, I'm Rachel, and looking forward to meeting you! I am happy to be working with Grow where I hope to offer a sense of focus, consistency, and to utilize my strengths to support you. I hope to guide you beyond a short-term sense of comfort, into a deeper space you may want to make peace with, yet feel you could just use a little more support in order to get there. It is easier to face with someone there. I accept and respect people from all beliefs and cultures, so there are no expectations about this. For those that may be specifically seeking to have a committed Christian as a therapist, I offer spiritual interventions when requested, and you may change your mind about this at any time. For all clients, I aim to provide a safe space to help strengthen your overall wellness. This includes non-judgmental care and respect for whatever situation you are in. If you have suffered spiritual abuse, you are welcome here. I offer Christian based counseling, or you may also sign up for regular therapy if you don't desire that.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Indiana. Entering into a counseling relationship can be a scary thing for many people. Some folks are hesitant about therapy, perhaps based on past experiences. Others are considering therapy for the first time and they don’t know what to expect from their counselor nor have any idea of what might be expected of themselves. Whatever your background, I applaud you for taking a first step and inquiring about counseling. I graduated from Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire with a Bachelors degree in Social Work. I received my Masters degree is Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA I have been a practicing Social Worker for approximately 9 years. Expertise-wise, I have worked in many different treatment settings, including hospitals, emergency rooms, outpatient therapy centers, and domestic violence shelters.

Stop. Unclench your jaw. Relax your shoulders. Breath. My practice has been focused on decreasing the effects of trauma, depression, and anxiety in both adults and children through a mind and body approach. While working with children and adults there is a focus on the present while relieving symptoms caused by the past. Therapy is a relationship between a provider and client that supports positive change. I have witnessed these changes while working with each of my clients and as a client myself. I truly believe that I can help you and/or your children improve your mood and decrease negative behaviors.

Welcome! I was once taught that a person’s mental health improves just by taking the initial steps to schedule a therapy appointment. You are taking the first step towards making lasting change. As a licensed clinical social worker, I recognize your story matters and I want to provide you with a secure, caring environment where you can process your feelings, work towards your personal goals and gain practical tools to launch you to new perspectives. My specialties include trauma, emotional regulation, depression, and anxiety while processing your unique stressors. Each of us is impacted by our experiences, life choices, and families and our unique stories mold us. It would be my honor to meet with you and help you unpack and build skills to reach your goals.

Greetings! My name is Carmen and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Before starting my own private practice, Abiding Connections LLC, I primarily specialized in hospice and palliative care as a medical social worker. My career thus far has been shaped by invaluable opportunities for service, noteworthy lessons on the importance of community, and has nurtured a deeper personal understanding of the meaning of life. I hope to be a witness of your triumphs and struggles; and to companion with you for a short time in your life. After all, life is not meant to be walked alone. Life is truly a journey, and it requires that we lean on one another for support, guidance, compassion, and understanding.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Indiana rather than a city like Indianapolis?

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 Indiana from Fort Wayne to Evansville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Indiana.

Will my therapist take Aetna?

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

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

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.
