Congratulations! It is great that you have taken the first step in seeking support for your emotional well-being. Perhaps you are struggling with daily stresses, anxiety, overwhelming sadness, depression or past trauma is interfering with your life. Whatever the reason, you are here, which means which mean you are seekng to be the best version of you! I would be honored to continue helping you on this journey. My story is not unique but my journey certainly is. I am a Latina born to teen parents from Puerto Rico. I grew up poor in the inner city. I witnessed my father’s alcohol abuse, DV, divorce and my mother’s depression as she struggled to raise two young daughters while getting an education for herself - all before the age of 8! I survived the only way I knew how - excelling at school. I was fortunate to receive a full scholarship to a prestigious boarding school and studied abroad. This experience had its pros and cons. I saw the world and realized there was much more to life than what I experienced as a child. As an adult, I struggled with forging healthy relationships. I married, had two children. Sadly, I repeated the cycle and married someone that struggled with alcoholism and eventually died as a result. I was left to finish raising two teenagers. While that was hard, the toughest part was when my son was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He is fine now but the ordeal was terrifying. I am now remarried and happily experiencing the joys and challenges of a blended family. My journey has had successes and challenges. I have recognized that all of these experiences helped me grow emotionally. I believe I am stronger and more grounded and a better therapist because of it.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Pennsylvania rather than a city like Philadelphia?

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

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.
