Hi, my name is Dr. Gabriela Acevedo-Iguina. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Carlos Albizu University in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I completed an APA-accredited internship in Trauma-Informed Care and Multicultural Community Mental Health Services, and I am currently licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts and as Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor ( LCPC) .I am deeply passionate about providing quality, compassionate care to underserved and marginalized communities. As a bilingual clinician (English and Spanish), I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is inclusive, culturally sensitive, and empowering. My clinical approach is integrative and client-centered, combining evidence-based modalities such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other third-wave CBT strategies. I also incorporate Trauma-Informed Care principles to ensure safety, trust, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process.By blending these approaches, I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, fostering psychological flexibility, emotional resilience, and practical coping skills. My goal is to help clients navigate life’s challenges while honoring their individual stories, values, and strengths, ultimately supporting meaningful and lasting change.

Hi, I'm Kelly McIntyre, LMHC, NCC, CCMHC, QS, founder of Sunlight Counseling and Assessments, LLC.I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and supported while also being challenged to grow. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. Clients often describe me as calming, honest, genuine, and approachable. While I provide empathy and validation, I also offer gentle accountability and encouragement when needed. I believe growth happens when we feel supported enough to step outside of our comfort zones, and I work alongside my clients to help them build confidence, resilience, and self-awareness.

Hi there. I’m Danica. Have you struggled to trust others throughout your life because something always seems to go wrong in relationships, leaving you feeling hurt, betrayed, or psychologically/emotionally drained? Is it hard to see your way to stable happiness without feeling like the other shoe will drop? I help individuals navigate and repair the aftermath of just about any sort of traumatic event you can imagine. My approach is eclectic and tailored to your needs. I use EMDR, Brainspotting, and mindfulness strategies to help you soothe your anxiety, improve depression, and neutralize the overwhelming emotions associated with trauma. Feeling fearful of relationships, lonely, anxious and depressed while others seem to be living their lives with little effort can be disheartening. Together we can improve your outlook, improve your mood, and strengthen your relationships with others so you feel supported, loved, and ultimately peaceful inside. I am excited to work with you to achieve your best self!

*Action-oriented Therapist* Most anxiety and depression evolve from procrastination, which leads to inaction. I have the ability to help people who are looking to take action on their goals which require behavioral change. Change becomes natural once a person understands their unintentional programming from childhood and decides to work on their discipline. Discipline is simply your ability to prioritize the needs of your "future" self ahead of your "present" self. I do not prescribe medication; however, I can refer you to a Grow Provider if need be. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Massachusetts and I love helping people reach their maximum potential! I spent 23 years in the military travelling the world before I retired and decided to commit the rest of my life toward helping others. I have been providing therapy successfully for over eight years with many successes for clients who are looking to do the work necessary to live their best life. You can read my reviews on healthgrades.com that have been posted by former clients. If you are ready to put in the effort, you will make progress!

Hi, I'm Greg, Have you ever felt like the path your life has taken has not turned out the way you expected? Do you sometimes wonder why you don't feel the way you think you should, or worry that you may not be headed in the right direction? We all feel that way, quite often, and I've found that it often helps to talk through some of these things to help us feel more confident in ourselves, and in our lives. For the past 30 years, I have been in the business of helping people of all ages through tough spots in their lives, with a variety of circumstances and problems, and I have seen a lot, but I am always interested in meeting new people and finding new challenges to work through.

***FALL 2026 NEW CLIENTS***: New Clients should have daytime, flexible hours or be well enough to be seen occasionally or short term, with a possibility of tapering in. Please make sure there are several OR MORE available appointments that work for your schedule and book them in advance if you want to be seen somewhat consistently. Existing clients tend to book out, but I have many clients tapered down to see me every other week or once a month. Clients are responsible for managing all appointments. I have a strict cancellation policy and fee without exception. *** I am an experienced clinical social worker, honored to serve my clients. I believe EVERYONE has inherent worth and dignity. I beleive in pluralism, democracy, and wholesome, authentic connection among many things that give meaning and context to life. I keep love at the center of my work. We will laugh, cry, learn and grow during our time together. I provide some structure during or after our sessions to facilitate deeper exploration of what is bothering you.

For more than 25 years as a social worker, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and build the skills needed to create meaningful change. Over the years, I have learned that growth rarely happens in a straight line. It often begins with small steps, honest conversations, and the willingness to try something new. I believe every person has the capacity for growth, even during life’s most difficult seasons, and that healing is possible when people feel supported, respected, and understood. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and solution-focused. I blend evidence-based practices with humor, grace, and gentle persistence to help clients move toward the life they want. In our work together, we will focus on what is already working, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and develop practical coping skills that fit your unique needs and values. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can speak openly, explore challenges without judgment, and feel encouraged to keep moving forward, even when progress feels slow. I also believe therapy should be both practical and empowering. Together, we will look for creative solutions, build resilience, and strengthen your confidence in handling whatever comes your way. Change is not always easy, but you do not have to navigate it alone. My goal is to help you reduce your struggles, reconnect with your strengths, and discover the tools you need not just to cope, but to thrive in your daily life and relationships. Whether you are facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, I will meet you where you are and work with you at a pace that feels manageable, hopeful, and grounded in your strengths so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Hi! I'm a licensed mental health counselor living in Savannah, GA, licensed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. I've been doing this work for 15 years, in settings ranging from community-based support to inpatient, partial hospital, and integrated primary care. I lean on evidence based strategies like CBT and DBT, but the real foundation is understanding how life experience and trauma live in the body, not just the mind. My job is to help you figure out what "better" actually looks like for you, then build a space where we can get there together.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My work is guided by attachment-based, systemic, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches, helping clients better understand their emotional patterns, relationships, and life experiences. I often work with people navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware but want support moving beyond insight into meaningful change. Together, we focus on increasing self-awareness, improving emotional balance, understanding how past experiences may be influencing the present, strengthening communication and boundaries, and building healthier, more fulfilling ways of relating to yourself and others.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with adults who may appear high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsettled beneath the surface. Many of the individuals I work with are navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, self-doubt, or persistent patterns they can’t quite untangle on their own. My style is thoughtful, steady, and insight-oriented. I integrate practical tools for emotional regulation with deeper exploration of relational patterns and attachment dynamics. I believe therapy should feel both grounding and meaningful — a place where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and begin shifting patterns that no longer serve you. Clients often describe me as calm, direct, and attuned. I aim to create a space that feels safe enough for honesty and structured enough for real change. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but on building emotional clarity, stability, and more secure ways of relating — to others and to yourself.

I work best with clients who want a therapist who is direct and actively engaged in the process. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership, not a place you're talked at or judged. I feel strongly about the alliance feeling comfortable and natural. I'll always meet you where you're at and help you challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you.

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.
