Hello, my name is Ricardo Guzman, LCSW. I identify as openly gay and was born in Honduras, but have also lived in Hong Kong, China; St. Paul, MN; and New York City. What inspired me to become a therapist were my own struggles with Coming-out of the closet, experiencing anxiety and depression, having my first heartbreak, as well as dealing with addiction (I am Sober), so I've been there myself. Therapy has helped me find healing in my own life and I know it can do the same to you. I will help you get back to self-love and acceptance.

Hi! I'm Spencer, a social worker and certified alcohol and substance use counselor based in Brooklyn. I've been working in mental health and addiction since 2021. I've been a social worker in all sorts of environments with all sorts of clients and patients: residential, outpatient, inpatient, hospital, community clinic, private practice; adolescents, adults, geriatrics- you name it, I've worked it! This variety of exposure and experiences has given me some insight into all of the different issues that can bother us, and all the ways we can handle those issues. I've learned about the broad ranges of feelings we feel, and how to cope with those feelings in productive ways. I've also learned about how we can come to rely on unhealthy coping skills, and ways to transition into more positive and safer skills.

As a Caribbean immigrant of Afro-Indian descent, I am a culturally sensitive counselor whose work is deeply inspired by diverse faith, culture, and communal values. I strive to provide a transparent, warm, and nonjudgmental environment where every individual feels safe and seen. Over the past decade, I have dedicated my practice to supporting culturally diverse and underserved populations and/or those who may feel overlooked or misunderstood. My approach is rooted in active listening and tailored feedback; I do not view myself as an expert in a client's life, but rather as an objective, supportive collaborator. I treat every situation as unique, developing personalized treatment goals that prioritize the individual’s specific journey and well-being.

Hi, I’m Marissa Andris (Davitt), LMHC — a therapist and coach who helps women move from overwhelm and self-doubt into clarity, steadiness, and meaningful change. I support clients who feel stretched thin, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from the version of themselves they want to be. Many of the women I work with are managing anxiety, perfectionism, emotional eating, or burnout, and are craving a calmer, more grounded way of living. They’re often high-functioning on the outside but wrestling with exhaustion, shame, or feeling “not enough” on the inside. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with action-oriented coaching, mindfulness, and a mind-body lens. You’ll find that our work is compassionate and grounding, but also focused on movement, change, and building habits that support your emotional and physical wellbeing. I use CBT, ACT, and solution-focused tools alongside a person-centered relationship—so you feel both supported and encouraged to take meaningful steps forward. Clients describe me as warm, direct, and deeply invested in their growth. Together, we create a space where you can slow down, understand what’s getting in the way, and begin making choices aligned with who you want to be. If you’re ready for a clear path, steady support, and an approach that honors both your humanity and your goals, I’d be honored to work with you.

Having two careers side by side gives me a unique perspective and ability to connect with people in the therapy setting. I am a problem solver and I enjoy doing so in a collaborative manner. I try to foster a space where constant learning and growth is happening. I especially love being a safe person and providing a safe environment for people to practice new skills with. I believe that if I'm going to teach something new to someone that it's best if I am practiced at it as well. I enjoy trying things together and am not afraid to think on my feet and be spontaneous in sessions. To me therapy should be like taking vitamins; a regular part of your health routine.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) providing individual and couples therapy for adults who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. My work is rooted in the belief that lasting change begins with awareness—of our thoughts, emotional patterns, and the ways we relate to ourselves and others. I work with individuals who struggle with self-criticism, doubt, emotional disconnection, and a persistent sense that they are never doing “enough.” Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel internally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of worth. Through therapy, they learn to recognize unhelpful patterns of self-talk, develop greater emotional clarity, and build a more compassionate and grounded relationship with themselves. I also work with couples who feel caught in cycles of conflict, distance, or misunderstanding. Rather than focusing only on the content of arguments, I help couples understand the emotional dynamics and attachment patterns driving their interactions. By reducing judgment and increasing awareness, partners are able to communicate more effectively, rebuild trust, and reconnect in more meaningful ways. My approach is collaborative, insight-oriented, and client-centered. I integrate elements of cognitive-behavioral and attachment-based work to help clients understand the “why” behind their reactions and practice new ways of responding. Therapy with me is not about quick fixes or assigning blame, but about creating space for clarity, understanding, and intentional change. Clients often report feeling calmer, more self-aware, and better equipped to navigate relationships and life challenges. My goal is to help people feel more grounded in themselves, more connected in their relationships, and more confident moving forward.

I’m glad you’re here. Looking for support is a big first step. Therapy can be a place to slow down, to make sense of what you’re dealing with, and find new ways forward that feel more manageable. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut and New York. I received my Masters from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and have been in the field for 12 years. I have extensive experience working with college-aged and emerging adults navigating identity, relationships, and life transitions. Additionally, I've worked with adults on the autism spectrum, family members and caregivers of people with developmental disabilities, and others in helping roles. More importantly, I’m interested in getting to know you as an individual and working together in a way that feels supportive, practical, and aligned with who you are.

I have extensive experience (25 years) in integrative mental health care, working across a variety of settings, including educational, counseling, judicial, clinical public and welfare settings, and private practice. I work with diverse populations, addressing a wide range of presenting issues, such as depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, gender identity and women's concerns. Additionally, I support clients during life transitions, crises, and identity challenges, viewing transitions as opportunities for transformational processes to become milestones in the process of their personal evolution. Combining a variety of methods, all rooted in the idea that healing encompasses the body, mind, and spirit. My approach is highly personalized, tailored to align with your needs and goals, while tunning in to cultural factors that may need to be considered ( religion, cultural background, gender identity and womens' issues across the life span). In addition to talking, I incorporate various techniques like mindfuless, breath-work, guided imagery, and expressive means, to foster deep emotional awareness and resonate on all levels. I believe that healing lies in nurturing the connection between body, mind, and spirit, and embracing a holistic, compassionate approach to wellness.

I spent much of my professional career working with alcoholics, addicts and family members, in outpatient and residential programs. In addition, I was employed by an agency that provided home-based social work services to elderly clients who did not have the means to attend in person sessions. I maintain a strong foundation in the philosophies of various twelve-step programs and practice CBT principles. I believe clients should be supported in determining the path of their recovery in therapy with an experienced "leader."

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 Evernorth?

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

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.
