Fully licensed and accepting new clients in NC, WI, and IA. Do you wish you could lessen the effects of emotional pain without having to relive it? Internal Family Sytems is an evidence-based, intrapsychic approach rooted in the multiplicity of mind, based in systems thinking, and a very psycho-spiritual (not religioous) approach. Using art & journal therapy, EFT & relaxation & meditation, we will work together to calm your mind and free parts of you that are frozen in time. I believe each of us have both a unique set of gifts and a world view shaped by past experiences and present circumstances. Let's get together and chat about how to quiet your mind and make your life more fulfilling. As an evidence-based relaxation and meditaiton trainer, I am uniquely qualified to help you learn to cope with grief, anxiety, past trauma, women's issues, and vicarious trauma experienced by veterans and first responders. My approach is eclectic, using interventions from a broad base of solidly-grounded, accepted theoretical orientations, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, an evidence-based, brief modality for resolving PTSD symptoms. I see clcients for anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and women's issues. Through sessions together, I will collaborate with you to assist you in recognizing your individual strengths and strive to empower you with the self-awareness and self-confidence to pursue your dreams. i also practice Internal Family Systems, a means of healing PTSD without having to revisit the event. this is evidence based and rooted in both Attachment Theory and Family Systems Therapy. I take a person-centered, creative, non-judgmental approach to creating a safe space for counseling sessions, allowing you to unburden yourself and share your goals, while helping you to see how your uniquely shaded lenses of experience have color your perceptions.

Warm Greeting, My name is Kylie — therapist, parent, snack connoisseur, and professional holder-of-space. Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, especially when it comes to healing from trauma, navigating through life transitions, or adjusting to life after bringing a tiny human (or humans!) into the world. Whether you're feeling like you’ve lost yourself somewhere between diaper changes and school drop-offs, or you're carrying the heavy weight of past pain that refuses to stay in the past, I’m here for you. My practice is built on compassion, connection, and just the right amount of humor (because sometimes if you don't laugh, you'll cry — and sometimes we’ll do both). I specialize in working with: Trauma – The kind that’s loud and the kind that’s quiet, but still lingers. Postpartum – Depression, anxiety, identity shifts, rage, exhaustion… sound familiar? Parenthood – From fertility struggles to toddler tantrums to “why did no one warn me?” moments. You’re not broken. You’re human. And humans are messy, beautiful, resilient beings. I work from a trauma-informed, attachment-based perspective to help you reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded in your daily life, and find your way back to joy (or at least a full night's sleep — we can dream, right?). Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone. You can come exactly as you are — in yoga pants, with spit-up on your shirt, or holding back tears (or curse words). This is your space to exhale. Let’s talk. You don’t have to do this alone anymore.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of North Carolina. I received my Masters degree from Arizona State University and have been practicing for over 10 years. I believe that working together in a safe, non-judgmental environment can create space for the healing you deserve. In my early career I worked with Child Protective Services to support the reunification of children with their biological parents. I then moved to North Carolina to continue work with keeping families together that had suffered trauma and/or behavioral issues. From there, I worked as an individual therapist working with teenagers and adults. During that time, I led groups that focused on education for women who experienced anxiety on a daily basis. Prior to the Grow Therapy platform, I worked to support adults in crisis who needed immediate psychiatric support.

Hi, my name is Luz, my pronouns are she/her/hers, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I worked as a teacher for over 15 years before making the journey into a community mental health career. I have experience in mobile crisis response, trauma, forensic mental health concerns. To explain who I am as a therapist, I reflect back to my role as an educator. In the classroom, there was a movement for the teacher to be less of a “sage on the stage” (teacher-centered approach) and more of a “guide on the side” (student-centered). To me, therapy is a lesson plan for a learning experience. It's a guide to develop what the client needs to learn in order to cope with whatever barriers are showing up in the client's life, whether that barrier is an internal issue, such as self-image, or how to cope with work stress. My therapeutic perspective is to provide empathetic, non-judgmental, compassionate guidance and support in an atmosphere of respect and safety while allowing clients to be the experts of their lives, much like “a co-pilot, a sous chef, or an assistant manager” of a client-therapist relationship. I use solution-focused elements to help move toward desired goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to help gain understanding and clarity. Outside of traditional therapy, I enjoy the practices of mindfulness, guided meditation, aromatherapy, and Reiki. Finding a therapist that's the right fit can be a challenging task, but taking that first step towards a healthier you is worth it. I look forward to working with you to help break down those barriers and make progress in areas that most matter to you.

I have provided counseling to many in my community in diverse employment roles across the field of social work. Some include experience working in inpatient psychiatry, medicine, hospice, and dialysis at a community hospital, and mobile crisis clinician with a community mental health agency; and finally VA Health Care. I take pride in my ability to connect with others and help them meet personal and/or professional goals. In my spare time, I love to read psychological thrillers, listen to my favorite podcasts and audiobooks, play Match 3D on my phone, and watch movies with my son.

My training, clinical background and experience supports a culturally informed and sensitive approach focused solely on your needs, beliefs and goals. I look at our collaborative therapeutic relationship much like being an honored passenger seat support for your path as the driver. I believe in inherent, unconditional and unchangeable self-worth as the fundamental foundation. Life’s ups and downs being the variable factors that can impact confidence, self-esteem and emotional well-being. I believe in therapy because I have seen the value it brings both as therapist and as a client myself. Thank you for considering me, I look forward to working with you. :-)

In life we have peaks and valleys. For some, we find the valleys are the times we may feel most alone. I specialize in helping clients to feel less alone and much more empowered and to find clarity. In our aspirations to find love, peace and happiness we develop healthier relationships with self first and with others. In my practice I walk along side my clients on this journey of self fulfillment with a non judgmental and compassionate stance. My initial goal is to actively listen as client expresses what is most important to them and offer compassion and most importantly be sure the client is seen and heard while developing a genuine and authentic rapport.

Your Well-Being Is in Good Hands! As a committed, professional Mental Health Service Provider of 5 years, your well-being and mental strength is my number one priority. I’m happy to guide you through all of life’s challenges with the attention and care you deserve. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Parenting Problems, Career Challenges, Depression, Schizophrenia, Grief, Trauma, PTSD, Bipolar ADHD, and Personality Disorders. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I worked with various populations such as LGBTQ+,Homeless, Intellectually Disabilities, Prison's and Jail Systems. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I am someone who spent many years in the business world before finding recovery and figuring out counseling is what I'm supposed to be doing. I believe I don't have the answers for you, you do! I believe it's my job to help you get to the answers. I try real hard not to tell people what to do but will share what my experience has been. I use humor when I can as none of us are getting out here alive so we might as well laugh as to cry.
