Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in self-doubt? On the outside, it may look like you’ve got it all together, but inside, you’re battling feelings of overwhelm, sadness, and insecurity. You find it hard to say "no" and often put others' needs ahead of your own, leaving you drained. Perfectionism and people-pleasing keep you in a cycle where setting boundaries feels impossible. You wonder if you’re ever truly enough. In your relationships, you may feel emotionally disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or longing for deeper intimacy. I help individuals break free from the weight of anxiety, boost self-esteem, set healthy boundaries, heal from past trauma, and manage the stress of everyday life. For couples, I specialize in healing communication breakdowns, rebuilding trust, and fostering closeness, so you can reconnect and thrive together. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you'll feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we'll work through challenges with practical tools to help you reclaim your life and relationships. Come as you are, and let’s start this journey toward change.

I wanted to reach more people in a more authentic manner.

Kindly note: At this time, my practice is focused on supporting parents and families with children ages 6 and under. I am currently accepting new clients for daytime appointments only, between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Thank you for your understanding. Hi there—I’m Stephanie, a mental health counselor who specializes in the early stages of parenthood (a.k.a. the “sleep-deprived, overstimulated, and constantly Googling something” years). Whether you're feeling burnt out, short-fused (been there!), or your young child is having big feelings or baffling behaviors, therapy can help you find steadier ground where you feel seen, supported, and better equipped to meet the challenges of early parenthood—without losing yourself in the process. In our work together, I support caregivers and families using a flexible, compassionate approach. That might include individual therapy for you, joint parent-child sessions, or a combination of both. If you're carrying heavy feelings—like guilt, shame, worry or even unexpected rage—you're not alone, and you're not broken. Therapy can offer relief, clarity, and practical tools to support both you and your child.

Welcome! I'm an LCSW-C practicing in Maryland and I earned my MSW at the University of Maryland at Baltimore. I have over thirty five years of professional, independently-licensed experience and, because I've loved the time I've spent in this work, the time has flown! I've spent much of my time in the industry in private practice and as such, I've lots to share. Like many of my generation, I entered the workforce as globalization took hold and company loyalties waned. I've remained agile, working in a broad variety of locations, contexts, etc., moving for great opportunities and leaving less desirable ones. Additionally, I've been entrepreneurial, owning my own businesses, which isn't something most therapists can say. I've been creative and courageous designing services that reflect the best of who I am and how I believe I can serve. I continue to do so. I become wiser as I go, so I guess you could say I'm earning my own 'hard knocks MBA'. It's been an exciting ride, complete with highs and lows and everything in between. I've been called a visionary, which is really neat to hear. I am a contrarian, like my father. A boss of his said dad was a non-conformist. This is not necessarily negative. I was, for example, one of the first/only lesbian life and love coaches and matchmakers back in the early 2000's. Those of you under 50 might not realize what courage that one took at that time!

It sounds like you're describing feelings that can be incredibly tough to deal with. Experiencing sadness, low energy, negative thoughts, and isolation can be overwhelming. When physical symptoms like shaking, increased heart rate, or tightness in the chest appear, they can amplify feelings of embarrassment and shame, making it even harder to cope. I want you to know that you're not alone in feeling this way, and it's okay to seek help. Together, we can explore the underlying causes of these emotions and work towards finding ways to regain your interest in the activities you once enjoyed.

Hi, I’m Dr. Josh Gonsher, a licensed clinical psychologist with a warm, down-to-earth approach to healing. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, worry, and stress—not by fighting their symptoms, but by creating a new internal landscape where those struggles no longer take center stage. My approach is grounded in Contextual Therapy. I don’t just help clients “fix” thoughts or behaviors—I work with them to build a more meaningful life, one where old patterns and problems naturally begin to lose their grip. It’s about shifting the frame, not just adjusting the picture. I offer a space that’s collaborative, gently challenging, and deeply respectful of your unique path. You don’t need to “have it all figured out”—just a willingness to begin. Whether you’re dealing with social anxiety, overthinking, burnout, or a general sense of feeling stuck, my goal is to help you move toward a version of life that you choose, one that often feels more grounded, spacious, and aligned with whom you truly are.

Hi there, I'm Laurie! Do you wish providers would look at you through a whole person lens instead of discussing health and mental health separately? Do you want a provider for your child who is playful and skilled at engaging children? Are you an adult who likes a more personal, connected approach to therapy? Do you have a teen who has had difficulty connecting to other providers? Well look no further! I enjoy using storytelling, videos, and conversation to help clients of all ages improve self-esteem, self-worth and gain a better understanding of sense of self. A licensed clinical social worker and board-certified supervisor with over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I spent much of that time working for the world-renowned Kennedy Krieger Institute, a Johns Hopkins affiliate, where I was also in leadership. I have post-graduate certificates in Treating Children & Adolescents, Leadership, Fitness Nutrition, and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health providers. More personally, I love hiking, watching Marvel movies, lifting weights, and crowd surfing at concerts. I believe we should never stop playing like children!

Hello, my name is Michelle. I believe therapy is a time to examine internalized experiences that shape our perspectives and behaviors. Engaging in introspective work together can challenge us to reframe maladaptive thoughts. I aim to assist clients with managing emotional dysregulation and symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and trauma in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I hope to foster growth and strengthen coping skills during difficult transitional points in a person’s life. I am interested in exploring my clients' family of origin and attachment styles. I have a special sensitivity to sociocultural factors and intergenerational trauma. I embrace the complexities that make up the lived experiences of my clients and affirm their unique identities.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my listing. If you've come this far, you're on the brink of an important decision--and what a difference the right choice can make. As a Social Worker, I've made a difference in people's lives for nearly 15 years -- helping children, adolescents, adults, and families to overcome life/situational problems and gain emotional freedom.

My goal is to foster an interactive therapeutic experience, providing support and practical feedback to effectively address personal life challenges. I offer a personalized approach tailored to your needs. With compassion and understanding, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions that are holding you back while we build on your strengths to help you attain the personal growth you are committed to accomplishing. As such this will begin the process of healing, growth, and self-empowerment. Our sessions will have a single focus -- helping you to rise above your current obstacles . . . whether that means conquering emotional issues, overcoming blocking beliefs, or repairing important relationships in your life.

Hi, my name is Efraim Eshaghian. I have been in therapy myself, and I have come to realize what allows one to live the life he would like to live. We work on allowing the client recognize his/her own solutions and path to greatness. Together, we create the amazing experience of being empowered, which is so powerful. Self discovery and self awareness of one's strengths is the key to open a world that one never knew existed. We try to find that hidden key and access this unbelievable world which is filled with one's positive qualities which ultimately allows one to change around his/her life. The experience is unbelievable.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Maryland rather than a city like Baltimore?

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 Maryland from Hagerstown to Ocean City! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Maryland.

Will my therapist take AvMed?

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