Let's focus on the Being of you vs the Doing of you . Have you tried mainstream mental health and it hasn't worked? Has talk therapy not assisted you in discovering what is at the root of any dis-ease you are experiencing?We will work together to assist you at getting better at feeling. We will address any deep rooted traumatic feeling states with EMDR to instantly assist in integrating them so you can interact with your day to day with more clarity. We will also use parts work to find what parts of you are needing attention. We will quickly work to integrate what is at the root of any issues of concern.

I help adults (and teens 13+), virtually and in-person, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunctions, eating disorders/disordered eating, and adjustment issues related to grief. Grief can manifest not just from death, but also from the end of a relationship, loss of a dream, health issues, or any unexpected changes in life. My work extends to helping those who have experienced trauma, as well as individuals looking to improve their self-esteem, strengthen their relationships, and manage stress effectively. In collaboration, from a trauma informed and compassion-focused approach, I will help you in creating a toolbox of techniques to soothe your nervous system while fostering self-compassion and building emotional awareness.

I'm Sean, a clinical psychotherapist with over 10 years of walking alongside people in some of the toughest and most beautiful moments of their lives. Whether it’s anxiety that keeps you small, relationships that hurt more than they heal, old wounds that still steer the ship, depression, burnout, or the simple feeling that “there has to be more than this”; whatever it is, we’ll face it together, at your pace, with whatever approach serves you best in this moment.
In our work together, we may sometimes dive into the echoes of the past, other days we may stay fiercely in the present with your emotions and change the patterns of today that make up the future. I meet you as you are, without judgment, with curiosity, and with a quiet confidence that you already carry everything you need to live a freer, richer life.

Hi, I'm Ashley Miller, LCSW. For the past 10 years, I've worked with adults navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and major life transitions, including young adults finding their footing outside of school or a familiar routine, and first responders and military community members carrying the weight of their service. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and somatic-aware, and I draw on evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, ACT, and Polyvagal Theory. But the modality always follows you, not the other way around. Whether you're just starting to untangle what's going on or working through something heavy and complex, I meet you exactly where you are.
Therapy with me is collaborative, reflective, and judgment-free. Each session is shaped around what you need in that moment, and I bring curiosity, warmth, a sense of humor, and honesty to the work. I'm especially passionate about helping people find their voice and their strength when the systems around them, school, work, family, healthcare, haven't made that easy.
On a personal note, I'm a Veteran myself, and supporting others who serve and protect and their family members, whether in uniform or on the front lines of a crisis, means something deeply personal to me. I understand firsthand the weight that community carries, and it's a privilege I don't take lightly. If you're looking for steady, experienced support as you work through this, I'd be glad to help. I'd love to hear from you.

I’m a licensed therapist with over 18 years of experience helping adults navigate burnout, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I work with high-functioning individuals who often appear to have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck beneath the surface.
Many of my clients are used to pushing through, taking care of others, and managing everything on their own—until it stops working. They come to me looking for more than just coping strategies. They want to understand what’s driving their patterns and experience real, lasting change.
My approach integrates EMDR, parts work, and nervous system-focused therapy to help you move beyond surface-level solutions. Together, we work to reduce overwhelm, process unresolved experiences, and shift the patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
The impact of this work is more than symptom relief. Clients often begin to feel calmer, more grounded, and clearer in their decisions. They develop a stronger sense of self, improved boundaries, and a greater ability to navigate stress without becoming overwhelmed.
My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and able to make meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to keep doing this alone—change is possible, and it can feel more sustainable than you might expect.

I can help find relief and lasting change. This begins with the very useful concept of two simultaneous paths when struggling in life...
1- How can clients ADDRESS, or take action to remedy or lessen, the sources of their struggles?
2- How clients COPE in effective healthy ways?
Addressing and coping are central in my work, and clients find this CBT approach to be highly valuable and effective.

My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, fat positive (Health at Every Size), trauma-informed, anti-racist, and pro-disability. I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming therapy for autistic and ADHD clients, as well as anyone who identifies as neurodivergent or experiences the world differently. I use a systems approach and draw from Narrative Therapy and Queer Theory. I believe problems occur in context and are shaped by the systems we move through—not because something is “wrong” within us.
I work with individuals, families, and relationship systems (including couples and non-traditional partnerships). My goal is to create a safe collaborative space where you can explore your story, understand its roots, and reauthor it in a way that aligns with your values and lived experience. Coming to therapy is a brave choice that takes vulnerability, courage, and energy. I strive to bring empathy, compassion, and openness to every session. I value a collaborative approach where clients can guide treatment in the direction that feels most meaningful to them.
Growth and change can be challenging, and my hope is that by offering a supportive and non-judgmental space, I can help clients navigate their challenges and move toward their goals. Everyone’s story is unique, and I am here to honor yours. I believe that we all deserve a safe space to grow, heal, and be truly seen.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my partner and two dogs.

Hi there, I'm Leslie.
Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by the demands of a busy life? Maybe you feel like something is "off" that you cannot quite identify. You may feel disconnected and experience frequent low moods. You might be someone who has been diagnosed or self-identified as neurodivergent, or you may be raising a neurodivergent child and feeling lost in coping with your feelings about how to navigate that challenge. You might be stuck in (or exiting) a romantic relationship that does not serve you, but you are struggling to find your path forward. Whatever the source of your anxiety, I am here to help!
I support individuals across a spectrum of ages and circumstances to understand how to find their footing in their daily lives. I use a unique person-centered behavioral approach that is affirming and includes action steps to access change. When you meet with me, you will hear "real talk" grounded in evidenced-based techniques. Together we will discover a path to a more manageable daily life that fits your specific circumstances.
Congratulations on taking the step to seek support through therapy. l look forward to working together!

Hello, I'm Samantha a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy to adolescents and adults throughout California and Oregon. I specialize in supporting clients who are managing stress, navigating life transitions, and coping with anxiety.
Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you’re adjusting to a new role, facing uncertainty, or dealing with persistent worry. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing.
My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—one where your voice is valued and your experiences are respected. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and identify practical, realistic tools that align with your lifestyle and personal goals. Because no two individuals experience stress or anxiety in the same way, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs.
I strive to create a safe, welcoming environment where you can show up as your authentic self. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and build the confidence needed to move forward with intention. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating space to grow, heal, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for ten years now. You will always know yourself better than I can or will.
From a philosophical and theoretical standpoint. I am overwhelming more of an attachment theorist, and have been known to use existentialism from time to time to help make sense of something. I guess the question that remains though is; can a butterfly flap it's wings in Brazil and cause a tornado in Kentucky, or are we all simply just products of our childhood and mirrors of our parents traumas?
The duality of life.
Attachment Theory vs. Chaos Theory. Both have value. I digress.
My goal is to provide a petridish in which you can explore your self. Safe. Contained. Yet completely in your control. The paradox being, you likely already have what you need. I'll sit with you while you find it. I can give you my clinical opinion, or diagnosis, and recommendations along the way as well if you'd like that. I can just sit and listen. I can play devils advocate. My job is to listen, empower, observe, and provide feedback when requested.

If you have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, particularly if they are related to a traumatic experience, I would love the opportunity to work with you to reduce your symptoms and help you experience a present that is not overshadowed by your past.
I love working with women ages 20 to 30-something who are still in academia or just starting out in their careers, but also love working with women of any age.

I’m Gail Spinnato, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a place where you feel supported, understood, and comfortable being yourself. I bring warmth, compassion, empathy, and a genuine curiosity about the people I work with. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about the things that may feel difficult, uncomfortable, or even hard to put into words.
My approach is strengths-based and person-centered. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you—not to tell you how you should feel or what you should do. We’ll work collaboratively to identify what matters most to you, build on the strengths you already have, and move toward the changes you want to make. I move at your pace and believe therapy is most effective when we take things one step at a time.
Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with people across the lifespan and from many different backgrounds and life circumstances. I’ve always been drawn to working with people who may feel unseen, misunderstood, or underrepresented. I especially value creating a space where people can feel accepted for who they are and supported through whatever season of life they are experiencing.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, navigating motherhood or fertility concerns, facing a major life transition, or feeling controlled by OCD or trauma, you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin therapy.
You can simply start where you are. We’ll take it from there, together.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping people heal from trauma, navigate life transitions, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. Originally from Maine, my journey has taken me across the US, different countries, and through many different communities, including serving in the U.S. Air Force. These experiences continue to shape my approach—bringing structure, adaptability, and a deep respect for each person’s story.
My clinical background includes extensive work with military members, veterans, first responders, and women facing anxiety, self-worth challenges, and complex relational or identity struggles. I understand what it means to carry invisible weight—and how important it is to have a safe space to unpack it.
I specialize in trauma-informed care, using EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic therapy, and attachment-based approaches to support deep, lasting healing. I take a bottom-up perspective, helping clients explore how the body holds on to difficult experiences and gently work through what’s been stuck. I also integrate CBT and Emotion-Focused Therapy to support insight, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.
Clients often describe me as grounding, warm, and collaborative—with just the right amount of directness. I believe healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but about reconnecting with your own inner strength, clarity, and capacity to grow.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck, you’re not alone. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll move toward clarity, healing, and a stronger sense of self.

Welcome to Dr. Mitchell’s Safe and Brave Space
I began my career in social services in 1995, working with children, youth, and families often labeled as “at-risk”—many of whom were impacted by substance use, poverty, child abuse, and neglect. Over time, my commitment to equity and justice led me to the field of social work, where I continue to center the person-in-environment perspective and actively support antiracist policies, ideas, and actions.
This work is grounded in an acknowledgment that we live and practice on the stolen lands of Indigenous peoples, and that much of the wealth and infrastructure of this nation was built through the unpaid labor and enduring suffering of enslaved Africans. I honor these histories and their ongoing impact as part of my commitment to justice, healing, and collective liberation.
I am deeply committed to self-awareness and reflective practice, both personally and with those I serve. I walk alongside clients on a healing journey rooted in self-care, resilience, and transformation.
I integrate narrative therapy and other evidence-informed approaches through the lens of intersectionality to remain fully person-centered. My practice pays particular attention to the impacts of trauma and race-based stress on one’s inner world. As appropriate, I incorporate Feminist Theory, Queer Theory, and Liberation Psychology to support healing that honors identity, lived experience, and systemic context.
I welcome all who value peace, healing, and justice to join me in this space—to try, to grow, and to be.

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?
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.
