Hi everyone! My name is Amy. Everyone experiences life differently, and at times, trying to figure out how to handle these experiences can become overwhelming. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where I can assist you in processing and gaining control of your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, and lifestyle balance. I empower people to overcome the burden of anxiety. I am interested in working with teenagers and adults. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, behavioral issues, anger management, relationship problems, life transitions, stress management, and behavioral activation/motivation. In session, we will learn to identify how our thinking affects our feelings and actions. My role is to challenge you and teach you how to help yourself. My goal is to give you realistic tools to cope with stressors and form a healthy relationship with yourself and the people in your life. I have over twenty years of experience as a licensed social worker working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups. I have worked in public schools, community agencies, psychiatric hospitals, and in outpatient therapy.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with experience working on a multitude of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and couples counseling. I believe in creating a strong, trusting therapeutic environment where people feel comfortable, motivated, and not judged. I use solution-focused techniques to assist in reaching goals and CBT techniques to help with concerns such as negative thought patterns. Every person is different, and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that is tailored to your needs. I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths, and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside, non-judgmental assistance is what someone needs to get back on track or on a better track.

My focus is on a variety of life issues that impede the unique potential of the individual. These include substance abuse and dependency, Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, depression, and trauma as well as major life events that happen to us all. I works with people from all walks of life including children, couples, and adults. Person centered counseling is not a platform on which one seeks advice or fears being judged, as if “under the microscope”. Rather it is a collaborative conversation based on unconditional positive regard, in which counselor and client journey together towards the client’s realization of meaning and goals.

My name is Jamie Matthews and I have been working as a counselor since 2007, and really enjoy helping people reach their treatment goals. I believe that counseling is about change, and believe people can change any behavior not working in their life. I started my career working in community mental health where I worked with individuals with severe and persistent mental illness, and gained a great deal of experience helping individuals manage symptoms of hallucinations, delusions, severe depression symptoms, and severe anxiety symptoms. From 2007-2015 I did mainly group counseling sessions, and some individual counseling sessions using evidence based practices. From 2015-2021, I have worked as an Outpatient Therapist where I have worked with children, adults, and families in a community mental health setting. Since 2021, I have worked in my own private practice, where I have continued working with clients using mainly telehealth services. I have really enjoyed the ability to reach clients throughout Ohio and Florida. I continue to use CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and other techniques to assist my clients in reaching their therapeutic goals.

I believe all people possess the courage and strength to overcome life's obstacles. I believe with the right mindset and mental health foundation, change is attainable. Is therapy something you have thought about or tried in the past? There are many factors that bring people into therapy; however, one consistent theme seems to persist throughout; the want to learn about or change one's self. I believe I can assist people with this transition in life. I feel that my empathetic and compassionate approach make it easy for people to connect with me and help build a strong therapeutic alliance.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio.

My dream clients are individuals who are ready to face the challenges preventing them from living fulfilling and meaningful lives. I specialize in working with people navigating anxiety, depression, self-worth struggles, trauma, and existential questions about purpose and identity. Whether it’s feeling stuck in patterns of negative thinking, grappling with unresolved emotional pain, or questioning your direction in life, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore these concerns. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and existential therapy. I focus on tailoring the therapeutic process to meet each client’s unique needs, whether that means challenging unhelpful beliefs, processing past trauma, or identifying values that bring clarity and purpose. My goal is to help clients uncover their strengths, develop coping tools, and build self-acceptance to move forward with confidence and resilience. I value the courage it takes to seek help and approach therapy as a partnership, empowering clients to become active participants in their growth and healing. Together, we work to process emotions, develop healthier patterns, and align life choices with personal values. If you’re ready to explore your journey toward healing and transformation, I’d be honored to help you take the next steps.

Hi, I’m Shawn Pedani, a licensed therapist with nearly 20 years of experience helping teens and adults navigate challenges like anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, and ADHD. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, striving for perfection, or imagining worst-case scenarios. These struggles can feel overwhelming, but with a focused approach, real progress is possible. If you’re unsure whether your challenges stem from anxiety, ADHD, or both, I offer thorough assessments to help clarify what’s going on. For clients exploring medication as part of their care, I can connect you with online prescribers to streamline the process. In addition to anxiety and ADHD, I work with people facing issues like low self-confidence, people-pleasing, grief, and depression. If you’re feeling trapped by self-doubt, trying to meet impossible expectations, or struggling to move forward after a loss, I can help. Together, we’ll uncover the root of these patterns and build practical strategies to help you set boundaries, grow your confidence, and live in alignment with your values. Whether you’re navigating school, work, or relationships, I’m here to help you break free from what’s holding you back. Let’s work together to create a meaningful path forward.

Hi there, I'm Anna! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I've been in practice for 8 years. I became interested in this profession because of my own battles with mental health. There have been times that I've been debilitated to the point where I was unable to function, and lived through paralyzing fear, trauma, crippling depression, and the belief that I would never be able to live a fulfilling life. Thanks to the therapy I received to overcome these obstacles, I got my Bachelor's & Master's Degrees at Marshall University. Throughout my career I've worked with individuals struggling with addiction, PTSD, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, grief, psychotic disorders, mood disorders, and trauma. I strive to help anyone struggling with their mental health, an obstacle, or painful experience to find fulfillment, peace, and functionality in their lives. I know that this world is imperfect, ever-changing, and hard to navigate. I can provide unconditional positive regard, empathy, validation, and most importantly, solutions. I'd love to provide you with the light you need to see a path forward - it's there!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Ohio rather than a city like Columbus?

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 Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Ohio.

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 Bipolar Disorder?

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, Bipolar Disorder, is filtering therapists in Ohio 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.
