I believe healing begins by creating a safe and sacred space where individuals can fully reconnect with their authentic selves. I have nearly a decade of clinical experience and specialize in helping clients heal attachment wounds, navigate complex emotions, and reclaim their inner strength after trauma, grief, or significant life transitions. My therapeutic approach blends depth-oriented psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and mind-body awareness, recognizing that true healing must involve both the emotional and the unconscious layers of experience. My style is warm but direct, and I strive to offer my clients a steady hand as they learn to navigate their inner world with greater self-trust, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. I work especially well with clients who feel “stuck” between who they once were and who they are becoming — offering the insight, patience, and guidance needed for profound transformation.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts. I have my BA in psychology and MA in forensic mental health counseling.

I have worked with a variety of individuals experiencing acute mental health episodes, addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, etc. Since I have worked with a diverse client population, I have been exposed to how mental health conditions can present and how those mental health conditions can be stabilized.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. I’m Jessie Presbie, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Massachusetts with over 10 years of experience working with children, adults, couples, and families. I believe that reaching out for therapy can be both difficult and incredibly meaningful. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply know that something needs to change, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and confidence. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I don’t believe there is a “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy. I want to understand your story, your relationships, your strengths, and what matters most to you. Together, we’ll work to better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful change that feels realistic and sustainable. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel genuinely heard, and show up as your authentic self, without judgment. Whether you’re working through anxiety, relationship or family challenges, a major life transition, or simply feeling like you’re struggling to find your footing, I’m here to support you. Taking that first step can feel intimidating, but you’ve already taken an important one by being here. I’d be honored to learn more about you and help you move toward feeling more connected, confident, and at ease in your life. Jessie Presbie, LMFT

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?

Hi, I’m Brooke, a licensed therapist who helps adults find relief from anxiety, heal from trauma, and navigate the transitions that life inevitably brings. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative . I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very beginning. I primarily draw from CBT, ACT, and EMDR, but I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I get to know you as a person so that we can tailor therapy to what works best for you. Clients often describe me as “calming,” and I think that reflects the kind of space I try to create : one where you can let your guard down, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to move toward real change. I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to suffer and I believe that no one should have to stay stuck in pain or face it alone.

Hello, I’m Carolyn, a Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker (LICSW) at Grow Therapy. I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support—whether starting therapy for the first time or finding a new therapist—can feel like a big step. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. I work collaboratively with my clients to explore what brings you to therapy and to identify meaningful goals we can work toward together. I strive to meet you where you are and support you at your own pace throughout the process. One of the most meaningful compliments I’ve received was from a client who shared that I made them feel “so special.” That reflects the heart of my approach—I lead with compassion and aim to help each person feel valued, supported, and understood, especially during difficult times. You may also occasionally see my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chloe, who sometimes joins sessions to provide a little extra comfort. You are not alone.

I'm self aware, having chosen a pathway of self exploration to become my best self. I am a survivor of my story, who has always known the importance of never surrendering to any situation life hands me. My resilience and positivity have guided my decisions to choose fighting like hell to be the greatest version of myself. I live passionately with growing self esteem as a result of having the highest priority on SELF LOVE. My treatment approach will always be action focused. Many clients that I have mentored with eating compulsions have had favorable outcomes as a result of our therapeutic relationship. I am a survivor of acting out with food, including a period of 17 years of battling bulimia, and a lifetime of searching for PEACE from food addiction. Since October 2004 I have lived in recovery, with no episodes of bulimic behaviors, and have a healthy relationship with food beyond my wildest dreams. I have found the PEACE I have been searching for which motivates me to help others to live in a healthy body. I have shared this struggle to allow you a deeper understanding of my personal story. I believe everything I have survived has provided life lessons that have humbled me and allowed me to see the humanity in everyone. We all possess so much untapped power that , if accessed, can help us achieve our goals and become the best version of ourselves! I have the skills to help you too, I believe that is why I'm here.

I work with women and LGBTQ+ adults who are ready to stop repeating the same relationship patterns and start building a healthier relationship with themselves. You may find yourself questioning your worth, losing yourself in relationships or friendships, struggling to trust your own decisions, or feeling stuck in patterns you know no longer serve you. Together, we'll explore where those patterns began, strengthen your self-trust, and create lasting change rooted in emotional safety and self-respect. My approach integrates attachment-informed, trauma-focused, and evidence-based therapy with practical tools that support meaningful change beyond our sessions. I believe healing involves the whole person, recognizing the impact of relationships, trauma, nervous system regulation, physical health, and life transitions on emotional wellbeing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, I also support clients navigating intimacy, sexuality, sexual trauma, religious shame, relationship transitions, and recovery from intimate partner violence.

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.
