Hi there! I’m Ashley Toney, a licensed clinical social worker with a warm, down-to-earth style and an honest approach to therapy. I especially enjoy working with adults ages 18–35 navigating relationships, identity, and life transitions. I specialize in treating symptoms of psychosis and other serious mental illnesses. I also support women working through self-esteem, boundaries, and relationship concerns.
My background in nursing and social work shapes my attention to your health, experiences, and everyday life. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re experiencing and build practical skills around your goals. I bring compassion, thoughtful questions, and a little humor when the moment calls for it.

I am Nicole Groves, a Licensed Professional Counselor providing direct, holistic, and trauma-informed therapy across Texas, Iowa, Louisiana, and Missouri. My practice bridges the gap between traditional mental health support and somatic healing, helping clients build resilience, regulate their nervous systems, and navigate life's challenges.
Transitioning from a career as a K-12 educator into community mental health and private practice gave me a deep, firsthand understanding of chronic stress, occupational burnout, and systemic pressure. I specialize in supporting individuals in high-stakes helping professions—such as teachers, nurses, and first responders—as well as offering affirming, nonjudgmental care for the LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and kink/BDSM communities.
In our sessions, I combine evidence-based behavioral methods like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT with somatic techniques and yoga-based mindfulness. My approach is entirely collaborative and tailored to your specific background and goals. Whether you are working through burnout, processing trauma, or navigating anxiety, I provide an inclusive, safe space where you can show up authentically, process the weight you carry, and create lasting personal growth.

I’m Andrew J. Hebert, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than twenty‑five years of experience supporting individuals through meaningful, lasting change. My style is steady, practical, and grounded in creating a space where people can slow down, unpack what’s weighing on them, and feel genuinely understood. I rely on gentle, actionable strategies—especially cognitive‑behavioral approaches—to help clients clarify their thoughts, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and move toward a life that feels more balanced, clear, and manageable.
Outside the office, I’m most at ease with my rescue animals. I share my home with three dogs and two cats—each adopted, each with a personality all their own. Caring for them keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of compassion, patience, and the value of second chances. When I’m not with them, I’m usually unwinding with a good book, catching up on a streaming series, and enjoying the quiet moments that help me recharge.

Hi, I'm Daphne — a Licensed Professional Counselor and State-Approved Clinical Supervisor. For over a decade, I've walked alongside adults learning to be gentler with themselves, steadier in their emotions, and more confident in their lives.
I work best with people navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and mood-related struggles. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or just curious about who you're becoming, therapy can be a soft place to land — a space to understand yourself, build real tools, and create change that lasts.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and shaped around you. I blend DBT, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and psychoeducation — because understanding *how* your mind and emotions work is a powerful part of healing. I also make room for the spiritual and faith dimensions of your story, because healing isn't only in the mind. I bring an uplifting, grounded energy, and I love using imagery to help you see yourself and your life in new, hopeful ways.
I work best with clients who are curious, open, and ready to show up for their own growth. Together, we'll build on the strengths you already carry and move toward the life you're building.
Clients often leave with steadier emotions, deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and renewed confidence. It's my joy to hold your story gently while helping you grow.
A note: Requests for letters, evaluations, or documentation outside of standard therapy services require additional fees and aren't billable to insurance. ESA letters are available after intake and two additional therapy sessions.

I believe in leading with empathy and taking a realistic, compassionate, and human approach to counseling. Life can be complicated, and many of the battles we face are not visible to others. I believe that people deserve a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be honest about their experiences, struggles, and emotions without fear of shame or criticism.
My approach recognizes that change does not happen overnight and that progress can look different for everyone. I strive to meet clients where they are while helping them develop greater self-awareness, healthier coping strategies, and practical tools for navigating life’s challenges. I believe we are all deserving of grace, humility, and understanding as we work through difficult seasons and learn to move forward.
Through telehealth counseling, I aim to create a genuine therapeutic connection where clients feel heard, respected, and supported while working toward meaningful and sustainable change.

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?
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?
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.
