Hello, Thank you for reviewing my profile. Briefly; I am Licensed Naturopathic Doctor, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I work with adult professional women dealing with anxiety, depression, past unresolved trauma, grief, stress and relationship issues. My philosophy is that we need positive human beings in our lives, to 'see' us and bear witness to our lives.

We need meaningful experiences to help us navigate this journey called life. My training as a Naturopathic Doctor affords me a lens to also consider, incorporate and integrate diet & lifestyle practices for your overall well-being. So, if you are tired of being tired, anxious, sad, depressed and you're just going through the motions, feeling stuck in dysfunctional patterns that drain you; AND you are willing to do the work to get well, then you need skilled, compassionate support to help you get unstuck and get your life back on track, so that you can experience purposeful living.

My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep curiosity about how our past experiences and family dynamics shape us. After gaining experience in a variety of settings—from in-home therapy and outpatient facilities to addiction treatment centers—I consistently observed a core theme: many of the challenges people face, whether it's anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks or relational issues, are rooted in our past experiences. These observations have shaped my practice, leading me to create a collaborative and gentle space where clients can explore these foundational issues. My goal is to help people build a strong sense of self-trust, leading to greater inner calm and more meaningful connections.

Through both personal and professional experience, I understand how overwhelming life can feel when you know something needs to change but aren’t sure where to start. It can be scary and overwhelming, but with guidance it’s possible to make changes that will feel exciting and empowering. I am skilled working with teens and young adults who are just starting to explore themselves and their place in the world, individuals and families navigating and adjusting to life changes, managing interpersonal relationships, reinventing yourself and managing the expectations you’ve set and finding who you want to be when you grow up. It’s so easy to think that we’re stuck in the situations we find ourselves in but I promise you that you can rewrite your story. Our time together will be an hour in your week where you can drop your mask in a safe space without fear of judgment. By allowing yourself to feel all your feelings we can break down whatever is holding you back to help you to build confidence, find clarity and the direction you’ve been searching for. I’m excited for us to get started.

Hi, I’m Megan! I’m a licensed therapist in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina who helps people feeling burned out, anxious, or stuck in survival mode reconnect with balance and purpose. Many of my clients come to me after feeling overwhelmed by work, relationships, or the constant pressure to keep going — even when they’re running on empty. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, make sense of what’s been weighing on you, and learn healthier ways to cope. My style is compassionate and collaborative — I meet you where you are and help you build practical tools for stress, boundaries, and self-care that actually fit your life. Before starting my private practice, I worked in behavioral health settings supporting individuals living with substance use, bipolar disorder, and other chronic mental health conditions. That experience taught me that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that real change happens when therapy feels safe, personalized, and empowering. If you’re ready to move from burnout to balance, I’d love to help you take that next step.

Hi there—I'm really glad you found your way here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia, also licensed in New York. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University and a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Fordham University. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, trauma, burnout, and life transitions. I’ve worked in schools, crisis response, foster care, and psychotherapy settings, which means I bring a grounded, adaptable approach to therapy. I understand how different systems shape people’s lives, and I aim to create a space that’s flexible, affirming, and tailored to each person’s pace and needs. I’m a down-to-earth listener, a practical problem solver, and I love helping people make sense of what feels overwhelming. I often describe therapy as working on a jigsaw puzzle together. We start with what’s clear and slowly fill in the rest, piece by piece. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We’ll take it one step at a time, and I’ll be right there with you. Scheduling note: I reserve Mondays for new client intakes to keep my weekly rhythm structured. I also offer a free 15-minute consultation to help us get a sense of fit before scheduling a full session. During intake, we’ll walk through my weekly schedule and find a time that works well for ongoing sessions. Cancellation policy: No-shows or repeated same-day cancellations may result in a fee. I approach these situations with compassion and flexibility—while honoring the time we set aside together.

Hello, my name is Laura Savage, and I have had the privilege of working as a Social Worker since 1997.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations across a range of settings, including an adolescent residential treatment facility, a hospital, and a nonprofit organization supporting children affected by cancer and their families. Currently, I am employed within a school district, where I provide school-based counseling services to middle and high school students. My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I use to help students manage challenges related to ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and anxiety. I also support students in developing executive functioning skills and strategies that promote academic and personal success. In addition to working with adolescents, I enjoy working with young adults and individuals in midlife.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

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 New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

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 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.
