As a behaviorist, I believe that the environments in which we develop ultimately play the most significant role in our actions, decisions, and outcomes. Without the proper space for growth, healing, and self-development, one may face difficulties in achieving self-realization and self-actualization. Human-beings are social creatures – genetically designed, behaviorally conditioned, and evolutionarily driven. We possess certain intrinsic, natural needs and adaptations that have developed over millions of years. If these dualistically basic and complex needs remain unfulfilled, we will struggle to attain this self-actualization.

I’ve been in this line of work for over 14 years and I know it is what I was meant to do. I take a warm, supportive yet direct approach to therapy. You’re hear to really dig in and discover why you are experiencing life the way you are at the moment, so we get right to it. I create an atmosphere of acceptance that helps you to talk about hard things, but equips you with practical tools to “do the hard things” as well. You will get homework assignments that help to push you further toward your therapy goals and increase your confidence.

I am a trauma-based therapist, psychodynamic in orientation. I work with clients holistically, believing we are more than the sum of our parts and our trauma's. I tend to consider myself anti-diagnosis putting a major emphasis on making linkages to our pasts including prior relationships and family ties. I am also a dual diagnosis therapist believing with substance abuse concerns are composed of mental health issues and negative experiences. I also prefer but do not find necessary involvement with services from partners, husbands/wifes ect.

Hello, my name is Devin Jones and I’m a licensed clinical social worker specializing in individual psychotherapy. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’ve been carrying anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or questions about identity, trauma, or direction in life. I work with teens and adults to better understand these experiences while also building practical skills to feel more grounded and in control. My approach blends structured, evidence-based work like CBT and ERP with a more relational, collaborative style. That means we’ll not only explore patterns and past experiences, but also actively practice new ways of responding in the present. In our sessions, you’ll find a space where you can show up as you are—without needing to filter or perform. My goal is to create an environment that feels supportive, affirming, and grounded, while helping you move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Using a range of evidence-based therapies, I guide purposeful conversations and reflection to support that process. I believe in discussing difficult topics with compassion and without judgment. Because you are the expert on your own life, collaboration is central to our work. Together, we develop practical and creative solutions, remain flexible as needs evolve, and build a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship focused on your goals. My experience includes four years working primarily with children and teenagers facing anxiety, mood concerns, relationship challenges, stress, and future planning.

I approach each client with respect for their resilience and capacity for growth.

I also work with people who are navigating life transitions such as divorce, career changes or relocation.

I utilize a key component of self-care and self-love to help clients develop a stronger, more confident self-image. Clients can expect to feel safe & heard, while gaining clarity with interactive homework assignments. I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma related to relationships or life issues. Most of my clients see a gradual decrease of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Hi, are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in depression, or carrying the weight of past trauma? You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside it feels exhausting. I work with adult clients (18+) to help them understand their emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and feel more in control of their lives. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we’ll move at your pace to create meaningful, lasting change. I help adults and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we identify patterns that keep you stuck, build healthier coping skills, and improve emotional regulation and communication. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to help you feel more in control and create lasting change. Your story, your pace, your goals, therapy is tailored to you. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you, build insight, and move toward healing. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you when you’re ready to take the next step.

I work with mostly BIPOC men, women, and teens. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and process childhood wounds. Individuals typically come to me when they want to get to the source of their trauma. I’ll work with you to navigate core wounds and identify the patterns you now see in yourself as an adult. My style of therapy is different, and I pride myself on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients. Together, we break cycles, learn/implement coping skills, and give ourselves grace as we unlearn toxic behaviors.

I am an Art Therapist and Counselor with a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression. Over the years, I’ve explored many forms of art, including drawing, painting, interior design, floral design, and card making. Creativity has always been a grounding and meaningful part of my life, and I bring that same spirit into my work with clients. I also feel deeply connected to nature and find that being outdoors—especially near water—is where I feel most like myself. This connection influences how I approach healing, often integrating creativity and the natural world into the therapeutic process. I came to this field through a desire to both help others and stay connected to my creative side. My experience includes working with young children, teens in foster care and the juvenile justice system, adults facing housing insecurity, and individuals living with traumatic brain injuries. As someone who identifies as more introverted, I value depth and authenticity. I’m drawn to meaningful conversations and strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable exploring who they are on a deeper level.

Frequently asked questions

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

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.

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, Depression, is filtering therapists in Michigan that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.

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.
