Welcome, I am glad you're here. Reaching out for help can be scary and I applaud you taking this first step. My goal with therapy is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, where you can talk openly, feel heard and begin to work through what has been weighing on you. I see therapy as a collaborative effort to find what works for you to feel stronger, more balanced and ultimately, more connected to what matters most to you in a world that often seems "un-connected". I have both a Bachelors and a Masters in Social Work. I have worked in the field of social work for 20 plus years. In my lifetime I have been a daughter, sister, partner, wife, mother (to both human and fur baby) and friend.

Hi, I'm Helena (Hell-in-uh)! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience! I like to emphasize that at the heart of my practice, I am a Social Worker and I approach my work from that perspective. I acknowledge that there are barriers we all experience to living our best lives and that certain people experience more and worse barriers because of who they are. My work is most rewarding when I get to help folks level the playing field by accessing the support, validation and compassion they need.

I am a woman who has spent most of my life trying to cultivate better relationships. I am from a Southern Baptist family background who wanted to rebel against this. I am non-religious now and has sustained a healthy balance with my family. I am 12 years post-divorce. The divorce taught me a lot about myself and what I wanted out of a romantic relationship. I am consistently finding new friendships and new people to relate to in my life. I enjoy traveling and seeking out new things to try. I am also a late bloomer in the profession: started grad school when I was 38. My main goal and desire for anyone I encounter is for them to find their own path, whatever that looks like for them.

Welcome! I am a warm, non-judgemental and real person. One of my basic tenants is we, as people, are doing the best we can, and sometimes our conscious or subconscious "plan" to take care of ourselves is just not working anymore. Sometimes we need to develop a new “plan” but that can be difficult and we need help. The relationship with ourselves, family, friends and our community is a pillar to good health and well being. However things get in the way….like trauma, substance use, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, illness, & fear. I want to support your concerns and help you improve your sense of wellbeing.

Hi, I'm Jess! My background over the years is primarily in grief, anxiety, life transitions, and emergency psychiatry. I have been able to assist clients in some of the darkest times of their lives and it's an honor to sit in this space with you. Grief touches us all in so many different forms and when the unexpected happens, we don't always act in line with who we are or who we want to be. Together, we will focus on being rooted in the present to develop the tools you need to make it to the other side. Life transitions come with so many ranges of emotions and what we can do is unpack your emotions, learn how to manage them, and set goals for the future you want. My approach is welcoming, direct, and catered to your specific needs.

Therapy represents a space to heal from the things that weigh us down. Most of the time, our actions make sense when we look at what we’ve been through. But sometimes, those same experiences and beliefs start to make life feel harder than it needs to be. As a therapist, I see my role as walking alongside people as they heal and grow into their most genuine, healthy selves. I work to create a space where you can freely express yourself and feel seen and heard. I’m especially interested in how you experience the world and how your mental health influences your day-to-day life.

As a dual-licensed LPCC and LMHC, I bring advanced clinical training, depth of experience, and a genuine commitment to helping clients experience meaningful and lasting change. I am a Certified Shame-Informed Treatment Specialist and hold certification in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Core Skills, allowing me to work skillfully with the deeper emotional patterns that often drive anxiety, depression, trauma responses, addiction, and relational struggles. My approach is both evidence-based and deeply compassionate. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), positive psychology, and structured psychoeducation to create treatment that is practical, personalized, and effective. Whether we are identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, resolving shame, or clarifying your values and goals, our work will be intentional and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel safe, grounded, and purposeful. Clients often come to me seeking relief from overwhelm, self-doubt, relational pain, or internal conflict. Through IFS and shame-informed work, we gently explore the parts of you that may feel stuck, burdened, or misunderstood—while building self-leadership, confidence, and resilience. Client satisfaction and measurable progress are central to my work. I regularly assess growth, refine goals, and ensure our sessions remain aligned with what matters most to you. My aim is not just symptom reduction, but helping you develop clarity, emotional stability, and a deeper sense of peace of mind. If you are ready for thoughtful, structured, and transformative therapy, I would be honored to support you.

Reaching out for help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. At times, life offers many struggles and obstacles that can be difficult to overcome alone. Engaging in therapy will provide opportunities to explore and process the thoughts and feelings that prevent you from living your best life. Though the thought of therapy may be intimidating and even nerve-wrecking for some, I believe once a person finds the right therapist, they find a trusting confidant who seeks to understand and problem solve.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Kentucky rather than a city like Louisville?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Kentucky. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Kentucky from Bowling Green to Lexington! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Kentucky.

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 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.
