I believe counseling is a holistic effort between the therapist and the people seeking services. I believe each person deserves respect and guidance on their individual journey. I know taking that first step towards change is typically the hardest step of all, but you are here doing the hard things! I am a licensed professional counselor in the State of Ohio (E.2102685). I received my Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wright State University in 2019.

Every client is unique and is facing their own distinctive challenges. Therefore each treatment plan should be personalized and individualized. An ideal client is one who comes to counseling with an open mind and is ready to try new approaches and coping skills. Each person will benefit differently from a wide variety of approaches. Together we can and will find the right strategies that work best for you. There is not a "normal" or "standard" cookie-cutter path. It is a journey! I have experience working with issues as grief, anxiety, anger, mood, neurological, trauma, relationship issues, substance use disorders, and more. I am dually independently licensed and passionate about providing the utmost quality of services to people struggling with mental health, substance use disorders and dual diagnoses. I have over 10 years of practice, including a wide array of experience, working with clients of all age groups individually, with couples and in groups. The therapeutic environment is a safe place for clients and their families to experience their vulnerabilities while sharing their stories. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential, EMDR, and Person-Centered treatment interventions and I have found that when using these interventions, people begin to realize the strength to overcome challenges.

HI! My name is Courtney and I am deeply passionate about helping those in struggle find healing and self empowerment so they can start living the life they want to experience. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia, Ohio and Florida. I have been practicing as a therapist for 20 years working with a wide range of human struggles. I believe the power to change and grow is within us. We simply need the right conditions to create the change we are seeking. The therapeutic space is one environment where we can work together to create those conditions where healing and change can take place. I do not believe human beings are broken or "bad"... we are simply hurting and this can manifest in behaviors that protect us from feeling the weight of the pain we are in. I believe the therapeutic space is sacred and deeply meaningful. I can't wait to be part of your healing journey. I strive to make the therapeutic space deeply authentic and safe for my clients to lean into the work and share openly about their lives. You will be challenged and comforted at the same time. We will be in this together

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. I earned my Master’s from Youngstown State University and have been supporting clients for several years in achieving their mental health and wellness goals. 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. Let’s work together to create a life that feels more aligned, meaningful, and authentic to you.

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 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.
