Hello, I am Jamie and have been a Social Worker for 20 years. In that time I have worked with all kinds of people, and their support networks, from the very young to hospice. I enjoy helping people make the changes they want in their lives. I can help you learn the tools that will get to the next chapter you want to open.

Hello and welcome to Grow Therapy. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I have worked in the mental health field since 1998. First, with my bachelors degree and later doing clinical work after earning my master's degree. I believe taking care of our mental health should be as accepted and routine as taking care of our physical health. Therapy can help us to be the best versions of ourselves. Life is a beautiful mess. Sometimes everything seems to be going our way. And other times, it can leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, and off balance. I would like to offer guidance and support as you navigate those ups and downs.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. Whether you're feeling anxious, disconnected, grieving, overwhelmed, or navigating a major life transition, you don't have to figure it out alone. My name is Derik, and I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 13 years of experience. Over my career I've worked with individuals, adolescents, families, couples, and alternative relationship structures. I specialize in issues surrounding anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. My style blends acceptance and action. I believe people are most capable of making positive changes when they feel truly understood.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate stress, trauma, life transitions, and emotional burnout. My approach is warm, practical, and goal-focused and I work to create a safe space while also helping you develop real tools you can use in everyday life. I’m especially passionate about supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or carrying responsibilities for everyone else, and I believe meaningful change happens when insight and action come together.

Hello. My name is John Petkac and I have been providing psychotherapy services for over 29 years. In addition to clinical psychology, I have background and education in music education, philosophy, spirituality and religion. My background and life experience gives me an ability to see a larger picture of situations in life and offer unique resolutions to things that may be occuring. I am a strong believer in the individual's ability to address and resolve their own issues. Through the process of therapy, we will explore what has been working for you and what has not. It is my belief and practice to treat the person, not the symptoms or the problem. We will work on building and adding to the skills you already possess to help you to build a more fulfilling life. An integral part of this process is assisting you in an increased understanding and awareness of yourself. Personal growth involves seeing and making informed choices. Therein lies the importance of self-awareness - there is no choice where there is no awareness. Raising a level of self-awareness increases your ability to have and make choices. Through exploration of these factors and possibly more, we will work toward a resolution that works for you and one that allows you to live a fuller and happier life.

Hello! My name is Jackie, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers a warm, collaborative approach to therapy. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and work toward feeling more grounded, confident, and aligned with what you want for your life. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in compassion. I support adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and major life changes, and I’m especially mindful of how stress, caregiving roles, and chronic overwhelm can impact mental health. Whether you’re feeling anxious, emotionally drained, or simply in need of extra support, you deserve a space that feels safe, validating, and judgment-free.

I am Dr. Michelle Ellis and I am so excited that you've come to visit our website. I hold licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (PA), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL), a Qualified Supervisor, and I am recognized as a NBCC Board Certified Counselor. I believe authentic connections are the cornerstone of healing. Thus, I actively incorporate multicultural perspectives into therapeutic settings, with a particular emphasis on addressing the unique needs of racially diverse individuals, couples, and families.

Hi there! I'm assuming you made it to my page because life has gotten particularly difficult and you're searching for some sort of direction or confirmation that "you are not crazy for feeling that way". We are not crazy for feeling - and therapy can help assist you in understanding why some emotions are more difficult to feel than others. Recovery is about learning tolerance; not forgetting and dismissing your experiences. I am experienced in working in both outpatient offices and inpatient hospital settings where I support clients in addressing issues stemming from generational trauma, relationships, grief and loss, life adjustments, substance use / other addictions, anxiety, and serious mental illness. I view therapy as a process that requires learning about vulnerability and accountability and then applying both for results.

Welcome, and congratulations on beginning your therapeutic journey. I am an LCSW with over 20 years in the field whose approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I believe in meeting you where you are, helping you build insight and resilience at your own pace. I was drawn to this work out of a deep curiosity about human connection and a desire to help others navigate life's complexities. It has been so rewarding to help others achieve peaceful solutions to issues in their lives.

Hello! I am from the state of Michigan but I also have licenses in Utah and Pennsylvania. I have been in practice for 6 years. I work with people 16 and up, both online and in person. I have a passion for helping people who are struggling whether that be trying to navigate a big life change or just being the best version of yourself for you, not everyone around you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have been in the field, helping people make positive changes in their lives for 11 years; 7 as a Case Manager and 5 as a Clinician. I have experience working with population suffering from: substance abuse, trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, abuse, Domestic Violence, codependency issues, relationship struggles, self- esteem issues, communication, parenting, and open to working with anyone wanting to work with me.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Bachelor's degree in Integrative Studies from Arizona State University, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Messiah University. In addition to clinical training and experience, I bring more than 15 years of experience working in the wellness field, offering a holistic perspective that integrates mind and body in the healing process. I will provide a warm, and supportive environment where clients can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change. I believe in meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels comfortable while helping them build insight, resilience, and confidence. I have experience working with individuals ranging in age, who have faced anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. My goal is to offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to supporting clients in their identity, relationships, and personal growth without fear or judgment. My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to each client’s needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, being active, and attending live music events.

I have worked in the treatment since i was 36 and have 35 years of experience. My early experience was in the drug and alcohol and relapse prevention field. During that time i attended the Gestalt Institute in Cleveland, Ohio where I took 4 years of intense training. This lead me to find that therapy is not a method for me to figure out the client but a means for the client to gain greater self-awareness in facing their own life aspirations and struggles. I place focus on clients’ somatic awareness, especially breath, so being more in their body so they can try on new physical and intellectual styles in facing their world. I have a lot of knowledge about what is called the 12 step process and have melded together spirituality and religion in my own life. Prior to being a counselor/ therapist i taught school, painted steel bridges and other structures, and was a machinist at a large steel company, that like the many in our area have since closed their shops.

Hello, I’m Dr. J, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a PhD in Social Work and specialized training in mental health education and complex trauma. I bring both clinical expertise and a deep personal understanding of how chronic stress, identity shifts, and emotional overwhelm impact daily life and relationships. I am a wife, mother to two young adults, and grandmother so I understand how you feel. I specialize in working with women who often appear capable, organized, and “on top of things” on the outside, while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and emotionally exhausted. Many of the women I work with are balancing the demands of parenting, work, and relationships while quietly struggling with burnout, identity loss, and the mental load of motherhood. In our work together, I help you slow down and make sense of what is happening beneath the surface. Many women come to therapy feeling like they are constantly “on” mental overloaded, or unable to rest even when they have the space to do so. Together, we explore how chronic stress is showing up in your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and nervous system. A central focus of my work is helping you reconnect with yourself. Many women describe feeling disconnected from their identity outside of caregiving roles. Therapy becomes a space to explore who you are now, what you need, and how to create a life that feels more balanced. I also support women in navigating relationship changes that often occur during motherhood, including communication challenges, emotional disconnect, and shifting roles within partnerships. As you begin to understand your emotional patterns, you may notice meaningful changes in how you show up in your daily life. Therapy with me is a supportive space where you do not have to hold everything together on your own. I'm here for you.

Hi! I'm so glad you're here. If you choose to work with me, I'll have the honor of learning about you, so here's a little bit about me to see if I'm who you're looking for. In Spring 2025, I became a mom to a little boy who is consistently a source of joy and wonder. I was thrilled for this next stage in my life, but pregnancy and postpartum were far more painful, complex, and vulnerable than I had expected. Until going through that personally, my clinical specialty was helping folks through their past and present traumas. While that is still a primary focus of mine, I have also had the privilege of working with moms, dads, and caregivers as they navigate the life transition of parenthood and explore their new, unfamiliar selves. I am also a mom to three fluffy dogs and one leopard gecko, who is by far the easiest of the bunch. While I don't have ample free time in this season of my life, I love reading mystery novels, doing puzzles, and watching comedy movies when I can. I was drawn to this work out of a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit and a desire to be a steady presence for people during times of uncertainty, growth, and healing. If this sounds like the connection you're looking for, I can't wait to meet you.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals struggling with mood and behavioral issues. I enjoy helping people of all racial, ethnic, cultural, religious, and gender and/or sexual identity backgrounds navigate life's trials and transitions. I work with adolescents (age 13 and older) and adults who are willing to change their emotions, thinking, and behaviors that are problematic for them. I work to help my clients learn to empower themselves and acquire the coping skills necessary to not only survive their challenges, but thrive as well.

My name is Cindy Kropp. I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in providing compassionate, trauma-informed, mental health care for individuals seeking a more balanced and emotionally healthy way of living. I am trained to provide individual therapy for older teens, young adults and seniors trying to navigate through their own stressors and discomfort related to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, life transitions and alcohol misuse and abuse. Utilizing a strength-based and relational approach, and with a trauma-informed lens, a solid and client centered foundation is built between the client and I as the therapeutic process unfolds. From there, I work collaboratively with individuals to set goals while also exploring her/his own thoughts and feelings as related to the challenges and struggles in their own lives. This work is achieved through the integration of cognitive behavioral therapy strategies, narrative therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction. As we work through this therapeutic process together, clients are able to identify how their own hopes and dreams of living a more peaceful, happy and abundant life can become a reality. I believe all individuals have worth and value and need to have an opportunity to make life what they have always imagined!

I'm Nanette Allred, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 31 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with clarity, compassion, and creativity.

Whether you're seeking emotional resilience, stronger relationships, or practical tools for daily life, I offer a safe, supportive space to grow.

Hi, I’m Dr. Catherine T. Revak, DSW, LCSW—but please, call me Cate. My path to becoming a therapist wasn’t a traditional one, and each chapter of my life has shaped how I show up for clients today. I served in the United States Air Force and spent many years in the financial services industry, experiences that taught me how to navigate complexity, hold difficult conversations, and remain present during times of stress and uncertainty. Later, I returned to school at the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, and completed both my master’s and doctoral degrees in social work. My clinical training focused on veterans’ mental health, grief, loss, and bereavement. My time working at the VA and in hospice care deeply influenced my approach to therapy, reinforcing the importance of compassion, attunement, and the healing power of being truly witnessed. In therapy, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. I draw from psychodynamic, narrative, and trauma-informed approaches, but at the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship itself. Whether you are navigating grief, transition, or uncertainty, I walk alongside you as you find meaning, connection, and a way forward that honors your experience.

Hi — I’m Kristin. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in Pennsylvania, and I’m glad you’re here. Taking the step to explore therapy can feel vulnerable, empowering, confusing, hopeful, or all of the above — and I see that in the courage it took just to read this. You deserve to feel heard, seen, and supported without judgment or pressure.

I am Nashonne. Over the past, 15 years, I've been offering therapy services in the state of Pennsylvania. Through my experiences, I've built an eclectic style of counseling that involves providing a secure space for the client to allow themselves to be vulnerable, address their issues at their core and grow. Some of the spaces where I have worked include community mental health, private practice, homeless shelters and the Department of Corrections. In my time outside of the office, I like to travel with family and explore new foods and venues.

I aim to provide a compassionate, culturally competent space where healing, growth, and resilience are possible.

I am a licensed therapist who brings over seven years of experience helping individuals navigate life's struggles. I recently joined the Grow platform to be able to help more people. My childhood and compassion for others led me to be a therapist. This journey involved unexpected detours and new life experiences. I am accepting and understanding of the differences that make us unique and enrich our world. I am a helper by nature and dedicated to helping you reach your full potential. My greatest joy as a therapist is when clients achieve insight into what is holding them back. I will strive to assist you in finding your answers to life's struggles with compassion and honesty. We can work together to make positive changes in your life. I will support you on your journey to a better life. Juggling family and work can feel overwhelming. Are you feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, or burdened by everyday tasks? Sometimes, navigating daily life and the unexpected seems like more than we can handle. There is help; reaching out is the first step to feeling better.

Hello. I look forward to working with you. My own background is one of growing up on farms, having little money and ambitious dreams. I did not know what it was but I knew I wanted to go to college and get out of the tobacco fields. My dreams came true. I ended up being a psychologist and a teacher, spending decades working in residential treatment then in schools, the last 13 years working with preschoolers and their families to prepare them to succeed in school. As a teacher, I taught many college and university courses as well as workshops, most recently to address grief and trauma. I am also an artist, a dancer and a writer and like to bring co-creativity to others. In the early 1990's, I felt led to live and work at or near the world center of Quakers called Pendle Hill in PA. There I studied and taught Arts and Spirituality while also serving as a Psychologist in nearby schools. I came to see the importance of Co-Creativity (creating together a piece of life we truly want to live for). My specialties in the Arts have been writing, visual arts and dancing/movement from a "no wrong way" perspective. I incorporate these into the therapy process as they become beneficial. For much of my life, I have also been engaged with my own therapeutic process. Having been the client for several years, gives me the perspective of what might be important to you as we work together, never assuming I know or forgetting to ask you. In our sessions, I want to hear about you, find our starting points and from there develop action plans each session to work on the goals needed to find the life you dream of and are willing to work toward.

***PLEASE NOTE - I am currently only providing mental health services for women ages 30-55. *** Hi I'm Fabyonne, Our stressors, which can include hectic lives, and often overwhelming schedules, can keep us from living our very best life. Do you wish you could just check out of the matrix and reset if only for a moment? Well, I am here to help you do just that. I am both an LPC and MFT and for this reason, I utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities and resources to help you regain a sense of control when life feels chaotic. Granting you the space to verbally process all the answers (which by the way have been placed inside you) necessary to heal and deal with all life throws your way. As a clinician trained in EFT and EMDR accompanied by being a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional I lean into trauma informed care, attachment and family systems. My history includes a 25-year teaching career and a slow transition to a full-time therapist in the last 8 years. The classroom experience is where I learned the foundational structure and hands-on impact of counseling (as teachers are literally everything to everybody).

I believe in the resilience of people and the possibility of lasting change. If feelings of overwhelm, stress, or recurring patterns are impacting your life, support is available. Therapy can be a meaningful step toward healing for trauma, anxiety and depression. In a safe, person-centered environment, you will be guided with compassion and respect as you explore your unique path to growth. This process is about your empowerment and strength. Together, evidence-based strategies will be tailored to your needs, helping you move toward greater authenticity and well-being. When you're ready, reaching out can be the first step to change.

Hi there I’m Jackie, and I’m so glad you’re here! If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or simply not yourself lately, you don’t have to figure it out alone. With over 14 years of experience as an LCSW, I provide a supportive space where you can gain clarity and make lasting change. Together, we’ll build strategies that support your unique goals. You are the expert of your own life and I’m here to listen, ask meaningful questions, challenge limiting beliefs that may be holding you back, and help you strengthen the daily habits that support your overall well-being—like sleep quality, energy, and happiness.

If you feel we might be a good fit, please schedule an appointment—I look forward to connecting with you! Please note: I may not be the best fit for clients with ongoing crisis needs, those seeking couples therapy or court/disability documentation, or clients with a primary diagnosis of substance use, Autism, or a personality disorder.

I have over 40 years experience working in a broad array of settings and have had a private outpatient practice for over 25 years. I have worked in the fields of child welfare, delinquency, drug and alcohol, family based and mental health services. Having worked with all age groups and people from all backgrounds, I believe i bring needed skills to address all emotional and behavioral challenges. I use techniques from many different interventions, like cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, experiential and brief solution focused in therapy. I endorse client centered and client driven therapy, with my role being to facilitate needed changes in a pro-active and empowering manner.

Hi! If you are feeling overwhelmed by life's stressors or stuck and aren't sure which way to go next, I am here to help! The ways we’ve coped in the past might not work the same anymore—and that’s okay. That’s where therapy can help.

Whether you're dealing with something unexpected or just feeling off, we’ll work at your pace to make things feel a little more manageable—and hopefully a little lighter too.

I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths Based, and Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Family Systems Therapy framework.

In order to unveil and begin the journey of leading healthier lives, it is important for me to create a space that is open-minded, non-judgmental and a unconditional positive experience when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. Our relationship with our self and others has worth and is useful to explore in counseling.

Hi, I'm Michele. I have been a Licensed Therapist for over 15 years. Reaching out and asking for support can be daunting.

Hello, my name is Jessica. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in PA. I have been in the mental health field over twenty years and have been licensed for over ten years. I greatly enjoy seeing people make positive changes in their life and enjoy life. I would like to assist you in making positive changes. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share. Congratulations you have made it this far. Let's take the next steps together.

Each of us lives our story in chapters—some filled with joy, others with hardship, and many with the quiet in-betweens. As a therapist, I see my role as walking alongside people as they turn the page, helping them make meaning of the past while creating space for new beginnings. I believe we all hold the keys within us: keys to resilience, healing, growth, and self-understanding. I utilize a strength-based approach to treatment as well as incorporate various styles that suit your needs. My practice is grounded in creating a safe and supportive environment to create a healthier future while honoring the past.

My approach is person-centered — I believe in meeting each client exactly where they are, with compassion, curiosity, and respect.

I am looking forward to support you through each transition life to meet your goals for therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Pennsylvania and have been working in the field for five years. I have a master's degree in Marriage and Family Counseling/Therapy, so it is not uncommon for me to provide family and couple's therapy in addition to individual therapy. I treat a number of disorders and issues including but not limited to: ADHD, anger, anxiety, autism, behavioral disorders, depression, family difficulties, OCD, PTSD and other trauma disorders, relationship difficulties, and social anxiety. I am an EMDRIA certified therapist practicing EMDR. EMDR is helpful, especially for individuals with a history of trauma or other experiences found distressing, as it helps people change the way the brain has stored the traumatic or distressing memory so that it no longer has the same negative impact on the individual. I aim to build a strong therapeutic rapport with clients as this is beneficial to treatment and, often, helps expedite treatment. I take into account the unique experience of each individual and offer a safe space free of judgement for clients to feel heard.

My roles have included case management, management, and professional counseling. The numerous professional opportunities I have experienced with various populations has allowed me to find a place to dedicate myself to a career of serving exceptional individuals and working with numerous health care providers in the community. My approach is holistic and refers to the whole-person rather than focusing on specific ailments, although topic specific symptoms will also be addressed and discussed as necessary.

Hello! My name is Kelly Brock and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania and also in Iowa. Maybe you are just feeling stuck, and don't know why? Or maybe you know why, but don't quite understand what tools to use or how to use them to get yourself to that next level up in self-understanding and comfort? I believe finding one's peace in life is a journey of exploration… Sometimes our human side tends to make the exploration in life's journey a tad bit complicated. When we know more about ourselves (and others)... we are just able to navigate life better!

I can help you navigate through change: job loss, grief, family estrangement, divorce/breakup, gender exploration, working on anxious attachment or people-pleasing. Together, we can work to integrate trauma, depression, anxiety and other symptoms into a life that feels worthwhile, however you define that. There's definitely more than one path for healing, and what can look like stability to some can be uncomfortably stifling to others. I will utilize a combination of narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, DBT/CBT skills (very optional!), feminist therapy and insight-oriented therapy to help you find your way forward. My biggest rule in therapy is "no trauma shaming." That is, if you are sharing your trauma and include a qualifier such as "other people have it worse," I will remind you that your trauma is valid! Surviving trauma is difficult enough; shame is a log lying on the train tracks. We can move it, and move forward, with the correct equipment.

Hi! My name is Jessica and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. Do you feel like you don’t have enough time to take care of yourself? Are you giving so much to others that there’s no time left for you? Are some of these relationships one-sided and go against your personal boundaries? I have a passion for helping individuals identify and shift patterns that no longer serve them, heal from toxic relationships, and explore their true identity. A safe and nurturing space is what I strive to cultivate for my clients. In my opinion, this must come first in order to set the foundation for a successful therapeutic experience. I’m so excited to start working with you!

Hi! My name is Samantha. I am a licensed counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. I focus on building relationships with my clients to help them reach their goals. I understand that each person is unique and that every person needs an individualized approach. The majority of my practice focuses on assisting my clients to understand who they are, why they operate the way they do, and ways to build their ideal life
