Hi, I’m Shakira, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals and families create meaningful change. I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools for personal and relational growth. In my work with individuals, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck and guide them toward healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges, I focus on helping you gain insight and build the confidence to make positive, lasting changes. With families, my approach centers on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and fostering understanding. I use a systemic perspective to help family members recognize how their interactions impact one another and work together to create new patterns of connection and cooperation. My goal is to help families move from conflict and disconnection toward empathy, balance, and mutual respect. My therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Functional Family Therapy (FFT), along with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are tailored to each client’s goals and often include hands-on strategies to apply between sessions for continued progress. I believe growth happens when clients feel safe, heard, and supported. My role is to provide guidance, encouragement, and a structured space for reflection and change. Whether you’re seeking personal healing or stronger family relationships, therapy offers the opportunity to gain clarity, strengthen connections, and live with greater purpose and peace. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward emotional wellness and healthier relationships, I’d be honored to work with you.

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.

My approach to therapy is holistic and deeply personalized, recognizing that true healing involves the mind, body, and spirit. As a Christian Counselor, faith is a foundational element, providing hope, meaning, and a moral compass in the therapeutic journey. Clinically, I integrate evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, alongside psychodynamic techniques to explore how past experiences and relationships shape present struggles. Furthermore, I often utilize Family Systems principles to understand relationship dynamics and facilitate healthier connections. My goal is to create a space where your faith is respected and utilized as a powerful resource for growth and lasting change.

My name is Andrea. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of FL and NY. I have over 12 years of experience working with children and adults in inpatient and outpatients settings, including corrections. I was raised in NY by West Indian (Caribbean)/Asian parents. I then moved to FL where I earned my BA in Psychology and Masters in Mental Health Counseling. My passion is helping others figure out this crazy thing called life, and learn how to live with more satisfaction. My approach to therapy is person centered and may change from patient to patient. This means it will be tailored to each person's specific needs. I enjoy building rapport with my patients to help encourage a healthy therapeutic relationship and allow my patients to feel as comfortable as possible. So whether it's anxiety, depression, or trauma etc., let's figure this out together!

I support adults and young adults who carry the effects of past trauma, chronic stress, or emotionally overwhelming experiences. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, constant tension, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t reflect who they want to be. I use trauma-informed therapy and nervous system regulation techniques to help you feel safer in your body, calmer in your mind, and more in control of your reactions. I am also trained in EMDR for clients seeking targeted trauma processing. Together, we work toward easing anxiety, releasing old patterns, and creating a steadier way of moving through your life.

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 New York. 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 Child or Adolescent?

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, Child or Adolescent, is filtering therapists in New York 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 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.
