- Are you tired of talking to people but continue to feel unheard? - Have you noticed that you continue to change things in your life but still feel like something is missing? - Do you feel like you keep trying to figure out who you are, yet continue to care for others and not yourself? If you identify with any of these, I’m here to help! My name is Marinieves, but most refer to me as Mary. I work with children, couples, families, and adults, trying to understand and better themselves by processing and learning from their life experiences. In our work together, you will have the opportunity to learn how to identify what is currently posing a challenge in your life and how to overcome it. Using a strength-based approach, we will embrace real conversations in a judgment-free environment that cultivates honesty and transparency. My role will be to provide you with education and serve as a guide as you choose what you want for your life and learn how to get there. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or any other challenge life has offered to you, I am here to listen, meet you where you are at, and walk alongside you while providing culturally pertinent, evidence-based practices and interventions.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Massachusetts rather than a city like Boston?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Massachusetts from Springfield to Cape Cod! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Massachusetts.

Will my therapist take Harvard Pilgrim?

Yes! If you use Harvard Pilgrim you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Harvard Pilgrim 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.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

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 to expect during your first 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.
