Hello! I'm a Pennsylvania-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker and yoga teacher who treats anxiety, depression and trauma. I combine EMDR, somatic therapy and strength based talk therapy to help clients connect with their whole selves and live their lives more authentically. As we work together, clients become more self aware, reduce the impact of old wounds, and clear space for new patterns of thought, feeling and action. This process helps them move more freely towards the future they desire.

With the pressures of the world and our own self-criticism, it can feel impossible to uncover our own self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. These emotions and feelings can show up in our lives in many different ways. Not wanting to get out bed. Placing limits on yourself due to a fear of failing. The expectations you place on yourself and are given to you by others can feel suffocating. I offer a comfortable space to be allow yourself to be vulnerable and find your strength to lead your life the way you choose. We will work on recognizing patterns of behavior and disrupting negative cycles. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to on track. Life is too short to not give yourself an opportunity to make positive changes in your life. Reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating. The fact that you made it to my profile is a WIN!

We live in incredibly challenging times due to wars, pandemics, climate change, gun violence, religious bigotry, racism/classism/sexism/ableism/ageism and any other -ism you can imagine. Consequently, rates of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety are at an all-time high. How do we begin to navigate a world fraught with such unprecedented events culminating with so much tragedy that so deeply impacts our personal and professional lives? How do we cultivate some sense of safety and restore trust due to broken relationships and deeply, complex traumatic experiences after betrayal and loss? How do we even begin to reframe our perspective in response to today's personal and global challenges? How do we cope with intense grief? How do we cope with displacement resulting from war, political violence, oppression, and climate change? As a caring and compassionate individual, I hope to provide guidance, mentorship, and a collaborative environment to explore responses with you to discuss some of these complex questions that might be impacting your life in many ways. As an experienced practitioner of 25 years, I have experience working with multicultural populations with individuals, groups, families, and couples. As an author of a published book (Fragments: Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder, a non-fiction book on ADHD published by Routledge, available on Amazon) and academic journal articles, as well as experience as a university lecturer for a decade, I specialize in ADHD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use, immigration/refugee displacement, and eco social work/psychology. I have experience working with multicultural populations from around the world in an inner-city community health center in Worcester, MA, a wilderness therapy program in northern Maine (experienced working with Native American populations on reservations), hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, alternative schools (including a private, alternative Buddhist high school), public schools, and private practice.

Have you been wondering if your current challenges are due to past traumatic life events? Do you struggle in relationships? If so, I may be the Therapist for you. I specialize in trauma therapy for teenagers and adults. Many people often think trauma is only caused by violent crimes, acts of physical abuse, or natural disasters. They may also think because trauma happened a long time ago, it does not affect them in the present. These are a few of the myths about trauma. There are many types of traumas such as the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one, bullying, retaliation in the workplace, neglect from parents, infidelity, intimate partner violence, the witnessing of domestic violence and more. If you or your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, or life stressors, therapy with me can help with positive changes to strengthen self-esteem and confidence. I am trained in EMDR and other trauma therapy approaches. My years of professional experience as a teacher and counselor, along with my lived experiences as a Black person allow me to provide empathetic regard while helping clients from multicultural backgrounds.

Welcome, NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE SESSION AVAILABLITY AFTER 5:00 PM AT THIS TIME As your counselor, my purpose is to empower you to discover what motivates you. I’m deeply committed to helping individuals live more fulfilling, satisfying lives. I believe each person holds unique strengths, talents, and abilities—my goal is to help uncover these qualities & build a life of purpose and meaning. Helping others is my true passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to do this work every day. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life transitions—whether you're experiencing a career shift, marriage or divorce, relocation, educational changes, parenting challenges, or grief and loss. These transitions impact everyone differently. Some bring feelings of fear or uncertainty; others bring excitement or hope. No matter where you find yourself emotionally, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself and explore what these changes mean for you. Together, we’ll work to find clarity, confidence, and joy on your journey. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, a Certified Co-occurring Disorders Specialist, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Pennsylvania State University and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Shippensburg University. Over the past 14+ years, I’ve worked in a range of therapeutic settings, including family-based therapy, outpatient and intensive outpatient mental health and substance use programs, residential treatment, and private practice trauma therapy. Outside the Office In my free time, I enjoy being active outdoors—walking, running, hiking, and kayaking—and spending time with loved ones. I also raise service dogs, attend dirt track races, meditate, and love curling up with a good book. Family and friendship are at the heart of my life, and I find joy in making meaningful memories every step of the way.

Hi, I'm Cory! Do you feel unmotivated, uninspired, and stuck in the routine of life or your relationship? Are you searching for who you are at your core and learning to live a life aligned with that? Are you struggling with anxiety, burnout, depression, or stress, which gets in the way of you moving forward? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience working with families, individuals, and couples. My belief is that we all have struggles throughout our lives, and with the right support, we all have the strength within us to overcome these obstacles. In walking this journey of growth and healing with you, we will use a mind, body, and soul approach. I believe if we are not fulfilling all areas of our health and wellness there will always be parts of us that are not aligned with our truest self, which hinders our natural healing cycle and interferes with us living a meaningful and fulfilling life. I work well with individuals experiencing life struggles related to anxiety, depression, trauma, negative patterns caused by toxic family dynamics, phase of life and adjustment issues, grief and loss, career challenges, self esteem obstacles, relationship struggles, developing and teaching coping skills, finding the root causes to negative patterns in your life, and helping to identify who you are as your individual self.

Hello, and welcome! My name is Amber Stewart, and I’m a licensed professional counselor (LPC) out of Western Pennsylvania; I'm also licensed in Wisconsin. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma. I want to help you go from just tolerating the symptoms of your anxiety, depression, or trauma to living fully in the present. You deserve to live the life you envision for yourself, and I want to help you do that by exploring the areas you’re struggling with, teaching you ways to cope, and reducing the impact that these symptoms have on your life by addressing them at their core. I believe that underlying most (if not all) mental health concerns is some kind of trauma – and, there’s many studies that support my belief that trauma is connected to depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. I invite you to learn more about my approaches to therapy, trauma, and trauma therapy by visiting my website: www.everystepforward.com

Hello! My name is Cody and I'm currently licensed as an LCSW/therapist in Pennsylvania. I received by Bachelors degree from Coastal Carolina University in 2010 and then my Masters degree from Winthrop University in 2012. I began practicing while I was in graduate school so I'm currently on my 13th year of practice. My clinical background includes outpatient therapy, in-home therapy, integrated behavioral health and primary care, inpatient treatment, and forensic psychology. Since I've run a large span of different practices I consider myself a jack-of-all trades when it comes to mental health and therapy. Things I've treated most are depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA issues, trauma, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, and ADHD. If you don't see your concern listed, don't hesitate to ask! I tell people often, I'm a come-as-you-are type therapist that likes to foster an open and comfortable environment. Together, we can identify what your concerns/goals are, find the best way to address them, monitor your progress, and adjust as needed.

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 Grief?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Grief, is filtering therapists in Pennsylvania that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.
