Hi! I'm Julia. Seeking therapy can be overwhelming, and I commend you for taking this step towards improving your self care and well being! I recognize the complexity and difficulty of addressing emotional pain, and I like to bring warmth, compassion and humor to the process. I specialize and am certified in Perinatal Mental Health through Postpartum Support International. I work with clients through the unpredictability of trying to start a family, including adoption and fertility issues. I support families who are facing the pain of pregnancy loss, or dealing with the aftermath of birth trauma. I treat perinatal mood and anxiety disorders that arise during pregnancy and/or the postpartum period. I provide a skilled perspective to help clients learn how to ride the waves of this delicate and vulnerable time. I use a person-centered, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach. I believe in building and maintaining a trusting therapeutic relationship, to help you heal from past traumas, live peacefully in the present moment, and feel hopeful about the future.

My approach to treatment is grounded in trauma-informed care and a strong belief in the power of self-awareness. I believe meaningful change begins when individuals take the time to understand themselves, their experiences, and how past events have shaped their thoughts, behaviors, and patterns. Through this process of insight and reflection, individuals can begin to develop healthier coping strategies and create lasting change. While therapy can provide guidance, support, and tools for growth, I also emphasize the importance of personal commitment and motivation in the recovery process. When individuals are willing to engage in that work, therapy can become a powerful space for healing, growth, and transformation.

I've always believed that most people aren't broken, they're stuck. And stuck is something we can work with. For 15 years I have worked with a wide range of people: veterans carrying wounds that never got proper attention, couples trying to find their way to a healthier relationship, individuals wrestling with OCD or trauma or habits they can't seem to shake, and families navigating transitions that turned their world upside down. I tend to be direct yet compassionate in the way approach therapy and to what my clients are dealing with. The best complement for me is when a client tells me how they felt seen and heard unlike they have had previously. I have a particular place in my heart for those living between worlds - racial minorities, expats, and members of immigrant communities who are navigating the push and pull of various socio-cultural forces. I understand that experience from the inside, not just from a textbook.

Hi there—it's a pleasure to meet you. I am a Masters‑Level Board‑Certified Music Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor with more than two decades of experience supporting individuals across inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for support, and I strive to make therapy a place where you feel safe, understood, and free from judgment. I work with individuals across the lifespan—from children and teens to adults and older adults—and I tailor my approach to meet each person where they are developmentally and emotionally. My work is rooted in trauma‑informed care, emphasizing safety, choice, collaboration, and empowerment. I recognize the impact that trauma can have on the nervous system, relationships, and daily functioning, and I approach each session with sensitivity, attunement, and respect for your lived experience. As a creative arts therapist, I also integrate music and other expressive modalities when helpful—offering additional pathways for emotional processing, self‑expression, and insight, especially when words alone feel limiting. I believe healing begins with a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to listening deeply and communicating with compassion and honesty. My approach focuses on empowering you with the tools, insight, and emotional skills you need to navigate life more effectively and with greater confidence. Scheduling & Missed Appointment Policy: I understand that life can be unpredictable, especially for families and young clients. I offer one free missed session. After that, a $25 fee is applied for no‑shows or cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance. This helps me hold your spot and ensure consistent care while keeping sessions accessible and supportive. Session Lengths: Intake sessions are 60 minutes. Follow‑up sessions may be 30, 45, or 60 minutes depending on your needs and preferences.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression, especially when past experiences feel unresolved or continue to show up in the present.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of methods to best support your unique needs. I like to help clients see that many of their struggles are shaped by social systems, cultural expectations, and identity, not personal shortcomings, and we can explore these influences in ways that feel safe and empowering. I also use evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy to identify patterns in thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices to build awareness and calm, and psychoeducation to help you understand how your mind and body respond to stress or challenges. My focus is on practical, real-world strategies that help you feel more grounded, in control, and confident in your choices. Together, we create a space where you can make sense of your experiences, build skills, and move toward the life you want.

Hi, I’m Nicole Knox, LPC and owner of Mental Momentum Counseling & Consulting, LLC. If you’re carrying trauma, living with constant worry, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate this by yourself. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, hypervigilant, exhausted, or disconnected from the version of themselves they want to be. I help you slow things down, understand what’s happening inside your mind and body, and build the emotional stability you’ve been craving. I specialize in trauma recovery, PTSD, childhood trauma, generational trauma, LGBTQIA-affirming care, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also support clients dealing with family conflict, stress, and self-esteem challenges. My approach is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative. I blend trauma‑informed care with DBT‑based skills to help you feel safer internally, reduce spiraling thoughts, and create healthier patterns in your relationships and daily life. If you’re ready to feel more regulated, supported, and empowered in your personal life, I’d be honored to work with you. You deserve relief, clarity, and a space where your story is met with compassion and skill. Schedule a session when you’re ready to begin.

Hello I hope all is well but if not I'm definitely here to lend my services to help. My name is Christian I believe the therapeutic alliance with my clients is very important component of the treatment process. I work alongside my clients to help them through life difficulties such as major life changes, anxiety, family trauma, and depression. I love to assess what is helping and not helping my clients, then find unique clinical interventions that make real positive change. Small positive changes can lead to big changes. I'm an eclectic when it comes to using different therapy modalities. I like to use therapeutic games at times to foster a safe place for my clients to talk about the root of the issues at hand.

Hi! I'm Dana, a licensed therapist (LPC) in Philadelphia for adults who are tired of the way their past experiences keep impacting the way they show up in the present, who feel like their feelings are "too much", and who get stuck overthinking everything but are unable to make meaningful change stick. If you're struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues and/or low self esteem; I'm here to tell you that there isn't anything 'wrong' with you. You aren't broken, you have simply learned to cope in ways that are no longer serving you. You don't need to be labeled or pathologized, you need to be supported by someone who actually gets you. My full availability is not always listed on the Grow scheduling calendar. If you are interested in booking with me but don't see the date/time you were hoping for, please send me a message and I will see what I can do to accommodate you.

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.
