It takes motivation, insight, and courage to seek changes in your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Louisville, Kentucky and I specialize in working with people who are either struggling with Substance Abuse or Mental Health issues, or who are trying to support a Loved One who is struggling with these issues, and feels overwhelmed by the circumstances. I provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore the issues that are concerning you now. I believe that you are the expert on the things that do and don't work in your life but when life becomes overwhelming, we can sometimes lose sight of these skills and knowledge. I have found that many people often underestimate how much they know about themselves and others, and underestimate the strength that they posess to cope with and overcome the struggles that they experience. much more about themselves than they give themselves credit for, and I see part of my role as helping you unlock this knowledge and apply it in your life in ways that work best for you. While there may be times that you feel like you are not making progress, you will find that you are making more progress than you realize. We sometimes have more difficulty seeing the progress and positive qualities than we do in others. I will help guide you to see the strength and goodness that you possess and help you to see that the overall arc of our lives bends towards improvement

Life is tough and we are living in traumatic times. We’re surrounded by problems that often have few solutions, and we’re forced into societal routines that push us away from who we truly are and what we truly love. Despite the difficulties you may experience, I believe in your ability to heal, find strength in your discomfort, and exist in ways that are empowering and life-enhancing. And as a healer/wellness worker, I’m here to help you do just that! As a Black woman and decolonized therapist, my practice prioritizes and caters to the unique mental health needs of Black and Brown individuals - especially those with feminine and LGBTQ+ identities. Folks who are most drawn to work with me are those who are looking to integrate cultural and collective values into their therapeutic experience, while also working on their personal needs and struggles.

Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows; it can be filled with challenges, difficulties, and hardships. I believe that life is all about perspective and the way we react to problems. Our trials and tribulations are opportunities for us to grow into stronger and wiser individuals. When challenges arise, most people ask, "Why?" I encourage my clients to change their mentality by asking, "How?"—how can I use this to grow and learn, make myself smarter and wiser?" I am a firm believer in empowering clients with the tools and knowledge needed to live a more fulfilling and productive life. With 8 years of sobriety and personal experience battling my own challenges, I know how helpful therapy can be in helping a person rebuild their life and become the person they want to be.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

A lot of times these questions can feel like running in circles. But what if it wasn't a circle, but a labyrinth where you hit a few dead ends and need some help getting back on track? If those questions keep you up at night, my aim is to create a supportive and engaging space where we can explore these together. As a therapist with extensive training in trauma from the EMDR Institute and over 10 years in working with homeless youth and refugee populations, I have helped many individuals find answers to those questions. I offer online Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. With starting Revival Therapeutic Services, our goal is to provide affordable, trauma-focused and LGBTQ + affirming online and in person therapy. If you've ever struggled with any of those "why can't I..." questions or are struggling with adjusting to life after a traumatic experience, I invite you to reach out.

Hello and welcome. If you are new to mental health treatment and feeling unsure about the process please understand therapy comes with misconceptions and stigmas at times. The option of telehealth allows much flexibility in our meeting location which often is more comfortable than attending an office in-person. All sessions are private and confidential with few limitations to confidentiality which we will discuss in detail. My therapy sessions are safe spaces where you can be honest and feel free of judgment or criticism. We all need extra support from time to time. My hope is to help you begin finding clarity, stability, and a better mental space altogether.

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 the state. 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.

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.
