I am excited about the success my clients have accomplished. It is their discovery that is most interesting: for example, it is possible to change personality even though we have always been told it never happens! We approach this by exploring emotions that form the building blocks of personality. In this sort of work, I find that the most effective therapy happens when clients and I form a interpersonal therapeutic bond of trust. By the way, when I say that change is possible , I really believe it, and I am confident that if you are willing to work on what many would call impossible...building trust...you will leave our sessions feeling a sense of increased wholeness.

Hi, I’m Philip Bower, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, worn down, or just not quite like themselves. Many of the clients I see are dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, self-esteem struggles, identity stress, or major life changes that have left them feeling untethered. Sometimes people come to therapy knowing exactly what they want to work on, and sometimes they just know that something has to shift. Both are welcome here. My style is warm, affirming, and down to earth. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can show up honestly, take a breath, and not have to keep holding everything together by yourself for an hour. I believe good therapy is built on trust, respect, and collaboration. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to help you better understand what you’re carrying, develop tools that actually help, and move toward meaningful change in a way that feels realistic and sustainable. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness-based therapy, and trauma-informed care, but I do not believe in forcing people into a rigid formula. I try to meet each client where they are and tailor the work to what they need most. Some clients want practical coping strategies right away. Others need space to process, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Most people need a little of both. I am especially committed to offering an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ clients and for adults who want therapy to feel genuine, grounded, and human. Whether you are new to therapy or coming back after some time away, I hope to offer a space where you feel seen, supported, and able to move toward a life that feels more like your own.

I fully understand that getting ourselves to therapy is, at times, not easy and sincerely appreciate every client that intentionally decides that they are ready to grow, heal, and evolve. I believe in the power of becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable so as to push ourselves to step outside of our comfort zones.

*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 a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals find resilience, hope, and emotional balance during life's most challenging times. At the heart of my practice is the belief that therapy is a collaborative process rooted in empathy, authenticity, and respect. Life's challenges-whether brought on by illness, aging, loss, trauma, family distress, or change-can be overwhelming, but they also offer opportunities for growth. Through a supportive and integrative therapeutic approach, I help individuals build coping strategies, improve relationships, and create lasting positive change. I aim to empower individuals to reconnect with their strengths, deepen their self-understanding, and move forward with clarity and confidence. I spent the first 8 years of my career working at the Department of Veterans Affairs working in an acute hospital setting helping individuals deal with acute and chronic illnesses, aging, trauma and life transitions. I also have extensive experience working with caregivers and families dealing with difficult transitions, grief and caregiver burnout. I look forward to meeting you and helping you grow and create positive change in your life.

I’m a therapist who believes meaningful change comes from a combination of insight, accountability, and consistent action. My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by a grounded understanding of adversity, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild and move forward. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns—whether related to trauma, stress, relationships, or major life transitions—and are ready to create something more stable and intentional. Many of my clients are navigating challenges such as emotional reactivity, impulsive behaviors, or difficulty maintaining consistency in their lives. My approach is direct, practical, and focused on helping you develop the tools needed for real, lasting change. I use evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to support emotional regulation, stronger decision-making, and long-term growth. I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating recovery, reentry, and significant life rebuilding, while remaining open to anyone seeking clarity, stability, and a more grounded way of living.

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 Massachusetts. 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 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 Military/Veterans?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Military/Veterans, is filtering therapists in Massachusetts that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.
