Welcome - I am glad you are here! I am accepting new Ohio and Kentucky clients via telehealth in February. Life is a complex mix of beauty and messiness, and I believe that while time passes, true healing requires intention. Our experiences—from our earliest memories to the present—shape how we move through the world. I am here to help you gently navigate those layers, understanding how your past influences your present so you can intentionally reshape your future. My Approach I provide a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space where you are always the expert on your own life. My practice blends: Trauma-Informed & Strengths-Based Care: Honoring your history while focusing on your inherent resilience. Practical Tools: Providing actionable skills you can use outside of our sessions to support your daily well-being. Collaborative Growth: Whether you are navigating grief, trauma, or a major life transition, we will work together to build a path that reflects your unique needs. The Goal Together, we will work toward a future where you can hold compassion for your past, purpose in your present, and genuine hope for your future. You don’t have to find your footing alone.

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.

Hello. My name is LaDonna and I am an LCSW. 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.

I’m a licensed professional counselor who works with women navigating anxiety, trauma, and self-doubt that are contributing to challenges in relationships, life transitions, parenting, or overall burnout. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we walk the path together. My goal is to offer a space that feels honest, grounding, and supportive, while also helping you gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we'll work to better understand what you've been carrying and help you feel more hopeful, steady, and connected to yourself.

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.
