It's okay to not be okay, and I am so proud of you for putting in the research to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. A little bit about myself, I was raised in Lexington, KY and after living in Western Kentucky for 11 years, I have returned home to my roots. I graduated from Western Kentucky University with a Masters in Social Work and have worked as a psychotherapist in community mental health, private practice, and assisted care facilities. I would describe myself as quirky, direct, and compassionate. I am a mom of two boys who are my absolute world and the reason for transitioning to online therapy.
I absolutely love my job and love working with people to improve their mental health and overall quality of life. You deserve to be heard, believed and encouraged.

Hello. I'm Cynthia.
It takes courage for you to admit you need help, it takes more courage to reach out for that help. I am so glad you did. Each day we are faced with choices, challenges, and stressors. Having a support person who provides a safe nonjudgemental place for you can talk to, share life stressors with, and learn new coping skills is a great way to work through the issues that are unpleasantly affecting your current life. You have made a great choice by choosing to start working on achieving the life you want. You can have more peace, more energy, and more joy!
I would love the opportunity to walk beside you while you are on this part of your life journey. I have experience assisting the clients I serve in facing and working through trauma, symptoms of anxiety and panic, symptoms of depression, work and career stressors, family issues, relational issues, issues with addictions, and symptoms of grief. I have assisted couples, individuals, and families in working through issues, increasing healthy communication, overcoming symptoms of addiction, and learning healthy coping skills to use in overcoming stressors and having more joy in their lives. We are one being with a mind, body, and spirit. When one part of us is experiencing unrest our whole being is off balance. I love incorporating meditation, nature, mindfulness, and laughter in the therapy process to assist the clients I serve in getting the most out of their experience.
My belief is we are all here to help each other. To quote Luciano De Crescenzo, "We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another."

Do you ever feel stuck? Do the negative beliefs you have ever hold you back—make you feel like you can’t move forward? Not sure what to do next? Sometimes life can throw you a curveball and when it does, I’m here to help. My name is Carol Poston. I’ve been a Marriage and Family Therapist for over 11 years. I am an experienced EMDR therapist and have witnessed the power of that modality to transform the life of my clients. I have extensive experience with grief and loss with 8 years of experience as a hospice bereavement counselor and chaplain. I understand the importance of religious beliefs on personal development and growth.
My therapeutic style is shaped by my hospice experience. Every moment is critical. It’s not simply the case of making the most of each moment. It is indeed that this moment, this day, this session, is the most important. Being present and bearing witness to my client’s pain in this moment is what matters. In our sessions we manage the urgent but focus on what is most important.
You are the expert in your own life--I am the professional guide here to help navigate your way through this difficult time. I am excited that you are considering me to be your guide to help you chart a new course for your life.

Hello! My name is Amaris and I'm happy you're here :)
Do you ever feel confused by your behavior? Do you act in ways that are incongruent with who you want to be? Do you struggle with self-doubt and wish you could have more confidence? There are always reasons why people do the things they do. My approach is to help alleviate shame and unnecessary guilt by helping clients understand the “why” behind their emotions and behaviors. I use a trauma-informed approach with all my clients and aim to create an emotionally safe space to explore vulnerable thoughts and feelings.
Sometimes personal growth means accepting that you're either going to deal with your stuff, or your stuff is going to deal with you. Therapy is a great place to start the healing process.

Are feelings of fear, unworthiness, guilt or sadness keeping you from reaching your full potential? Are the stories you tell yourself keeping you stuck in the same dysfunctional patterns again and again? Are the expectations of others in your life clashing with who you know to be your authentic self?
With someone to hold space for you, it is possible to grow in compassion for yourself. Are you ready to start challenging your inner critic so you can reach your full potential and lead the life you deserve?
I’m a licensed clinical social worker in the states of Kentucky and Indiana. My passion is helping women reclaim the parts of themselves that may have been lost as we try to balance it all. We live in a world where we find that it's increasingly hard to live up to others' ideas of who we should be. We "should" ourselves until we're not even sure what we want out of life anymore. Until one day we realize we've lost ourselves. As someone who has made it to the other side of burnout, I can say there is a different way to approach life.

Life can be hard. Sometimes we can feel like we are falling into the same old patterns and asking ourselves the same unhelpful questions.

As a therapist, my hope is to help you better understand this feeling of "stuckness” the various things which lead us to this space. I like to understand generational traumas through the lens of attachment theory and help clients find a sense of empowerment in breaking cycles and establishing healthier ways to interact with themselves and others. want to work with clients on addressing this in session to help them feel more in control of themselves and break away from that endless cycle that we can find ourselves in.

This is not the life you pictured, is it? You know things need to change but have no idea where to start. Being a human in this fast-paced society is quite difficult and often times heartbreaking.
I strive to place the therapeutic relationship as my primary focus, because until someone feels authentically accepted, change is not going to be possible. You came here to change things in your life but ironically, first you have to learn to accept who and what you are, right in this moment. I can help you get to that place!
I mix science of the brain & body in combination with identifying the many loops and patterns we tend to get "stuck" in, to help clients achieve authentic change, and a more peaceful outlook on themselves and their life.

Mental health counseling can help you cope with feelings and situations in everyday life or past experiences. It can help with feelings of anger, fear, anxiety, shyness, and panic. It also can give you tools to help fight low self-esteem and depression. Since everyone experiences grief, sadness, and stress it can be hard to know when it’s time to see a professional. I can help! I believe there is a difference between being nice and kind, nice is saying or doing what you want to hear and kind is saying or doing what needs to be said or done.
During my 12 years as a counselor, I have worked as a clinical director in 3 residential facilities and currently working as the clinical supervisor training new counselor.

Hey there! I'm Morgan, and I'm a telehealth therapist. Nice to meet you! I've had the pleasure of working with people from all walks of life - and each and every one of them has been unique in their own way. That's why I strongly believe that therapy shouldn't be a one size fits all approach.
When we work together, you won't be talking to a robot. I make it a point to really get to know my clients on a deep level. We'll have genuine conversations. I'm all about providing a down-to-earth style of therapy because I believe it fosters a stronger client-therapist relationship.
Respecting your pace is crucial to me. You'll never be pushed to share more than you're comfortable with or forced into a process that doesn't feel right for you. Therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you can truly be yourself.

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?" With 7 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. I am a firm believer in empowering clients with the tools and knowledge needed to live a more fulfilling and productive life.

Welcome to Grow Therapy. My name is Swan Roberts, and I am a licensed therapist, clinical social worker. I have 3 years of therapy experience, and 1 year of casework experience (helping people resource for basic need items). I was also in the U.S. army for 2.5 years as a medic. I am so glad you have decided to seek help, and I look forward to meeting you on this healing journey. I decided to become a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) therapist because I have always enjoyed helping people realize their potential, and when I was getting out of the army, I had a therapist to help me through that transition, which inspired me to follow this career path. When people experience trauma and stress, there is a tendency to develop a zoomed-in view of the problem and even blame themselves for the root of the problem. I am here to help you develop a more helpful and realistic outlook and note available solutions to what is going on. I have education and experience treating clients with depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and in need of a helping hand? Struggling with anxiety, past trauma, or parenting difficulties?
Life's obstacles can be draining to navigate. I understand the difficulty and fear that comes with taking that initial step towards healing. In our sessions, I'll meet you where you are, providing compassionate support and evidence-based techniques. Together, we'll identify what's not working and chart a path towards a healthier, happier life.
Most of my experience is centered around children, adolescents, young adults, and parents. I have focused on treating anxiety, depression, and trauma. Drawing from a strengths-based approach, I incorporate proven interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness techniques. My objective as a therapist is to cultivate a comfortable and inviting space where you can freely explore and express your thoughts and emotions. Let's collaborate and make progress together!

I would like to help you find a new path and behaviors that will help you thrive. Chances are other’s expectations of you have either been too much or too little. You may be having difficulty helping yourself.
My work involves creating a safe, supportive, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where my clients can process their experiences and explore their emotions and thoughts. I use a combination of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and personalized treatment plans to address the unique needs and goals of each individual.
My focus during my psychology career has been working with people who have disabilities. I have worked in a rehabilitation hospital, nursing homes, Church based community counseling and a state rehabilitation center for persons who are blind or visually impaired. I have experience in determining the validity of testing, and in research.

Hi, everyone. I'm Susan.
Welcome to my world – an experience in which we engage in a unique partnership on what may be one of the most important journeys of your life. Are you feeling unloved, unappreciated, helpless, hopeless due to some unplanned reality in your life. Do you need healing from adversity such as the ending of a relationship, the loss of employment, an unexpected debilitating illness, the death of a loved one, post-partum depression. These are a few of life occurrences that may have us feeling we will never see the light in the darkness or rise out of the flood of emotion. No matter what the adversity, we each have the inborn resilience to either return to a previous "normal" or carve out a new "normal."
On this journey, we are truly partners. Each of us has a part in the process of healing. I rely on my knowledge and skills to guide me in EMDR, CBT, CPT, DPT, or Mindfulness. New coping strategies help to reduce the intensity of symptoms and permit you to face whatever painful occurrence has come into your life. So…I invite you to invite me to share this journey.

Mental health treatment is more relevant than it has been in any other prior era. You may not know what "self care" or "self respect" entail because these topics are often not taught within our major institutions. We are living in an "age of anxiety" and many people are struggling to find meaning while processing the messages conveyed in the social media and digital worlds.
I have been working as a therapist in the mental health field for the last 15 years and specialize in addressing mood disorders, psychotic disorders and trauma based difficulties. Mental health and psychology are fields that continue to develop and I enjoy learning as much about these topics as possible.
My initial experience in mental health involved working in the community mental health and criminal justice systems. This allowed me to work with a wide variety of life situations and diagnoses within multiple demographics. I have also been in private practice, geriatric, and mental health administrative roles.

I believe that everyone may experience unfortunate circumstances during their lifetime. When this happens, we may need a helping hand in managing our difficulties. It takes a brave person to ask for assistance but this is the first step in the healing process.
If you would like for me to be that helping hand, please contact me. I offer Tele-Counseling at various times in order to meet the busy schedules that many people have in their lives.

My theoretical orientation is integrative and post-modern. I have substantial experience working with clients presenting with neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically.
I also frequently do testing for ADHD if that is a presenting concern.
