As an individual who struggled with alcohol addiction, depression, and anxiety, my life experiences, as well as my education and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of my life, have provided me with the opportunity to serve those who are struggling with life. Everyone has life struggles. I am prepared to help individuals and couples learn how to live life amidst struggles, such as depression, addiction, worry, financial stress, or marriage difficulties. I am blessed and honored to be in a position to use the gifts God has entrusted me with to serve others. My specialty area is addictions. I struggled with alcohol addiction for about 23 years. Through God's redeeming grace and an excellent education, I am well equipped to help those struggling with addiction and the anxiety, depression, worry, and fear that may or may not be attached to the addiction. My life experience with addiction has equipped me with an understanding about addiction. Not just for the individual, but for the affected family/social network as well. My education at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary has also equipped me with God's ultimate resource for our afflictions - The Word of God.

Hi, I'm Sara. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, perinatal mood disorders, and survivors of psychological, emotional, verbal, or physical abuse and/or domestic violence. I work with individuals who feel stuck, lonely, or overwhelmed, even when they are doing their best to cope. Many are exhausted from carrying the emotional weight of their relationships while struggling with self-doubt, heavy expectations, or the effects of emotional, psychological, or physical abuse. I also support women and couples navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I offer a warm, trauma-informed, culturally affirming space to slow down and feel understood. My work supports immigrants, second-generation individuals, BIPOC, and others navigating emotional pain, faith, family expectations, or relationship strain.

I believe Irvin Yalom said it best when he said we need to form a unique therapy for every person. We are all unique, our relationships and experiences are unique, and in therapy we need to find your own path forward in life. We can find that as a conversation between two experts, you being the expert in your own life, and me being an expert in this field. Together, we can work to help you find what you are looking for in therapy. Whether it is a skill and action motivated plan, or a space to emotionally process things regularly, or anything in between.

Hello, my name is Valarie James, and I am a licensed therapist with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges while building healthier, more fulfilling lives. I bring a unique approach to counseling by integrating traditional therapeutic methods with wellness practices that honor the connection between mind and body. With dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Public Health, as well as extensive training in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care to each client I serve. I work with adults across diverse backgrounds who are seeking support for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I also have experience providing couples counseling, helping partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and develop deeper connections. My practice is inclusive and client-centered—I aim to create a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore new possibilities for growth. The clients I serve often share that therapy with me has given them the tools to break free from cycles of negative thinking, heal from past wounds, and cultivate healthier habits in both mind and body. Whether it’s guiding a client through the weight of trauma with EMDR, teaching practical CBT strategies to manage stress, or supporting couples as they reconnect, my goal is always to help clients uncover their strengths and move forward with resilience. The impact I strive to have is simple yet profound: to empower individuals and couples to live with more clarity, balance, and confidence. I believe healing is not only possible—it’s within reach when you have the right support. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.

I practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Trauma Therapy. EMDR is an alternative to traditional talk therapy in which Bilateral Stimulation (BLS) is used to desensitize and reprocess “stuck” traumatic memories influencing negative beliefs we have about ourselves, others and the world. Talk therapy is still a part of EMDR, but if you feel like talk therapy alone has not been helpful for your symptoms, consider scheduling a session with me to practice EMDR sessions for 1 hour each. Clients report improvement in symptoms after about 3-5 consecutive reprocessing sessions.

The therapeutic relationship is personal for every individual. The idea of sharing your story to someone can feel scary and overwhelming but can also feel relieving and hopeful. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, phase of life changes, or just need a safe space to process life stressors, therapy can be a positive step in creating change in your life. The challenging part can be finding a therapist that you can trust and is a good fit. Feeling comfortable with your therapist is essential to making progress. I approach therapy as a partnership and provide counseling from a trauma informed and strengths based perspective. I have been a practicing clinician since 2012 helping clients from various backgrounds identify goals that are important to them and have been fortunate to witness many of them achieve their goals.

Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of working with people from diverse backgrounds, each with their own unique story, strengths, and struggles. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how deeply personal circumstances are influenced by larger systems, and how healing requires both compassion and practical strategies. My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe that healing is not something I do for you but something we create together. I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and walk beside you as you move forward. My role is to provide guidance, support, and evidence-based tools that empower you to make meaningful changes while honoring your lived experiences. I specialize in helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, but I also work with individuals seeking personal growth, clarity, or support during life transitions. Regardless of the circumstances, I view therapy as a space where people can feel seen, heard, and supported in ways that allow them to connect more deeply with themselves and others. At the core of my approach is the belief that every individual possesses resilience, strengths, and untapped potential. Therapy is a process of uncovering those strengths, identifying barriers, and creating a path toward balance and fulfillment. Whether you are facing a major life crisis or simply want to live with greater authenticity and joy, I am committed to helping you discover new possibilities for growth and healing. Together, we can build a foundation that supports lasting change and a more meaningful, empowered life.

I am a Hispanic woman, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience, and an EMDR‑certified therapist dedicated to helping individuals heal from the wounds of their past. I work with clients ages 12 to 75 and offer a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where people can feel seen, supported, and safe. For those who desire it, I integrate biblical truth and faith‑based guidance into the therapeutic process, honoring both emotional healing and spiritual growth. Helping people has always been my passion, and I feel called to walk alongside individuals as they process trauma, rebuild their sense of self‑worth, and step into the life of peace, purpose, and wholeness that God has for them. My approach is gentle, empowering, and rooted in the belief that healing is possible—and that you don’t have to walk through it alone.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Michigan rather than a city like Detroit?

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.

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 Trauma and PTSD?

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, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in Michigan 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.
