Hi, I'm Michelle. Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures and stress of life? Do you have life changes and/or transitions that have increased your worry and affected your moods? Taking the first step to begin therapy may feel intimidating. However, it may be the journey that brings you the peace and insight you need to begin living life in a positive direction.
I have over 10 years' experience in working with children, adolescents and adults. There are many reasons people seek therapy. Whether life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles together we will explore how this impacts you and your daily life.
Maybe you are struggling to manage and understand your child’s moods and behaviors? Is your child feeling anxious, depressed, or lacking self-confidence? Are your child's behaviors impacting your family? Parenting is hard! It can be even more challenging if your child struggles with emotional and/or behavioral problems. As a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, I will work with you to ensure you and your child have the support and skills to be successful.

I help young adults and adults (ages 18–64) healing from childhood trauma and neglect who struggle with anxiety, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, and low self-esteem develop the tools to regulate their emotions, build self-trust, and move forward without feeling controlled by their past. I believe there is hope after trauma.
When someone begins therapy with me, I want them to know that they don't have to continue feeling stuck in the effects of what happened to them. Together, we can explore and understand the trauma, look at how it may be impacting their life today, and identify ways to help them start feeling better.
I want therapy to be a safe and supportive space where clients feel comfortable expressing what they are feeling and what is bothering them without fear of judgment. I know that talking about trauma can be difficult, and clients don't have to navigate that process alone.
My hope is that clients can learn to understand themselves and their responses, develop tools to regulate difficult emotions, feel better about themselves, and begin to see their lives from a new perspective.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale—where you don’t have to have everything figured out, and where you can show up exactly as you are. I know that life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying trauma, anxiety, depression, or intense emotions, and I’m passionate about helping clients feel supported as they work toward healing. Through evidence-based approaches like DBT, CBT, and CPT, I help adults make sense of their experiences, strengthen their coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. My hope is that our work together helps you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to the life you want to live.

My name is Michael and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Chemical Dependency Counselor in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. As a psychotherapist, my vocation is supporting individuals, working together on your journey toward self-discovery, healing, and learning to thrive from the comfort and convenience of your home or office, and when it is most convenient for you. My work commonly addresses individuals experiencing difficulties in life due to problems stemming from difficulties early in life, anxiety, depression, major life changes, academic challenges (undergrad, graduate, post-graduate studies), the discomfort of feelings that go along with hypervigilance, procrastination, and perfectionism.
Sometimes, we need help from someone new, experienced with developing collaborative relationships to find strengths we take for granted, and to embrace that we can be the person we’re meant to be.
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, or major life changes? Let’s talk!

Navigating through the journey of life we inevitably run into hindrances that challenge our momentum. Change is hard and can often be sudden and unpredictable, leaving us without the proper tools to cope with these changes. We have to learn to acclimate to our surroundings on our terms. Whether it's a traumatic response, addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, loss of confidence, feeling lost and overwhelmed, feelings of depression or stagnation, there's hope. It takes courage to look into a mirror and see who's looking back, it takes strength to want to make a change and hope to inspire change.
My goal is to inspire Hope. To inspire people to look inward and see what is there, what already exists. I want to see people believe in themselves. My goal is to assist people in regaining a strong and confident sense of self.

Hi, I’m Kendall Hall, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina and a Licensed Independent Social Worker – Clinical Practice in South Carolina. I hold a Master of Social Work from Winthrop University and bring over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, generational patterns, and seasons of change. I specialize in working with neurodivergent women, women navigating pregnancy and postpartum, and individuals seeking to heal from past experiences and reconnect with themselves and others.
You may feel overwhelmed by the expectations placed on you, disconnected from who you are, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you're exploring your neurodivergence, adjusting to motherhood, processing trauma, or beginning to recognize how past experiences have shaped your present. Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve a space where you feel understood, supported, and accepted as you are.
My approach is compassionate, client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed. Drawing from mindfulness, somatic approaches, solution-focused therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, I support you in developing self-awareness, strengthening coping skills, and cultivating a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Together, we can explore the patterns you've carried, honor your unique needs, and build skills that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you move beyond simply getting through each day and toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with who you are.
You don't have to navigate this alone. Healing begins with having a space where you can show up as your whole self.
Heal. Live. Love.

I work with women navigating life transitions, particularly those that bring changes in relationships, family roles, and their sense of identity. These experiences can bring anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the effects of trauma into focus, and can influence how thoughts, emotions, and the body interact.
My 25 years as a yoga teacher and yoga therapist have shaped how I approach counseling, particularly my understanding of the connection between emotional and physical experiences. I incorporate mindfulness and somatic approaches to help clients recognize how stress, emotions, and past experiences influence not only their thoughts, but also how they feel and respond physically.
Understanding our patterns is important, but learning to respond differently is where meaningful change begins.

Welcome! I am Robyn. These days many people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and depressed. Sometimes they feel as if no matter what they do, it isn't enough and either they or those around them are never happy with themselves. How about you? Are you trying to manage to be the best parent, spouse, and employee that you can be? Are you struggling with a recent life transition or the loss of a loved one or relationship? Are you lying awake at night reviewing the list of things you think you should have accomplished? Or are you ruminating on what you said to someone, how you said it, and what you should have done differently? You are not alone! Many people experience these feelings and you do not have to continue to feel like this! You CAN FEEL BETTER!
I work with adults of all ages who are struggling with these things by providing a safe space to talk about and work through these issues. I strive to empower them to discern their strengths, their priorities, and the barriers to feeling better. Once we’ve done that, I help them find ways to address those barriers and build new coping skills they can use to overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, managing change, and people-pleasing.
Change is not easy! I am impressed by your courage in taking the first step of asking for help to start your journey toward feeling better! You deserve to have someone skilled and trustworthy to guide you to grow and heal. I will compassionately work with you using evidence-based techniques to get beyond the challenges you are experiencing and on the road to feeling better! I’d love to have the privilege of working with you!

Hello. I am Eddie
Do you feel constantly on edge—tense, anxious, or jittery? Are trembling, sweaty hands making everyday moments harder? Have dread and fear been weighing you down?
Maybe your relationships feel strained—every conversation with your partner turning into a disagreement—or perhaps the simple joy and ease you once had feel out of reach.
For over 20 years, I’ve helped people find their inner strength and build confidence they didn’t know they had. I dedicate my work to assisting individuals in achieving greater self-awareness, healthy assertiveness, and the courage to be vulnerable in safe, empowering ways.
Drawing from my expertise and experience, I teach proven coping strategies that help you navigate life’s stressors with clarity and resilience. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, each bringing unique strengths and challenges to the process.
My approach is multifaceted, grounded in cognitive‑behavioral techniques. I am committed to challenging unhelpful thought patterns and inspiring fresh perspectives that facilitate change. My goal is simple yet profound: to help you trust yourself, rely on your abilities, and make decisions with confidence.
Progress takes work—but the rewards are life‑changing. Whether you’re facing anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, or substance misuse, I won’t promise to “fix” everything. What I can promise is my full commitment—sharing every skill, tool, and insight I have—to help you explore, grow, and learn.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m ready to walk it with you.

I have several years of experience treating individuals, families, and adolescents using a holistic, empathic, and trauma-informed approach. Watching friends and family struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues fueled my passion for helping those who struggle with these difficulties from a place of understanding, patience, and empathy. I received a BA in psychology first, which led to obtaining a substance abuse certificate. I gained experience working with families and individuals and, after some time, I was ready to further my education and obtained a Master of Social Work. This helped me expand my clinical skills and learn more targeted therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, psychoanalytical care, and art therapy.

Sobre mi modo de trabajo
Me gusta pensar cada encuentro como un espacio vivo, en donde quien consulta puede detenerse a mirar, a poner en palabras lo que muchas veces se manifiesta de otros modos: en el cuerpo, en los vínculos, en lo que se repite sin que sepamos bien por qué.
Mi rol es activo: acompaño, señalo, hago preguntas. A veces, lo que aparece en una frase, en un gesto o en una duda, abre una puerta. El trabajo consiste en animarse a atravesarla.
¿Y cuándo es buen momento para consultar?
No siempre es fácil saberlo. Pero a veces, el cuerpo o el ánimo lo dicen antes que nosotros. Algunos indicios pueden ser:
• Tristeza que se prolonga en el tiempo
• Cambios de humor repentinos o irritabilidad
• Dolores o malestares físicos sin causa médica clara
• Ansiedad o sensación de estar sobrepasado
• Dificultades para afrontar lo cotidiano
• Pensamientos que se repiten y no dan tregua
• Falta de ganas o desinterés por lo que antes generaba placer
• Problemas en los vínculos que se vuelven frecuentes o difíciles de manejar
Cada proceso es único. A veces alcanza con hacer lugar a una pregunta para que algo comience a moverse.

Hi there, I'm Lorrie.
I'm so glad you are reaching out for help. That's a huge first step, and often the hardest part of your journey to health and happiness.
I work with trauma, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and relationship issues. If you are dealing with difficult emotions and can't seem to stop worrying about the future or ruminating about the past, I can help! My approach to therapy is holistic, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit.
In our first session you can expect to learn more about somatic therapies, and other mind-body bridging practices. By the end of the session you will have some tools you can start using right away. We will work together to identify your goals for therapy and create a treatment plan just for you.
I specialize in treatments that get you grounded, with a sense of safety, acceptance of what is, and curiosity and excitement about what could be!

Hello! Congrats on taking the first step (often the hardest) on your healing journey! I graduated from the University of Florida with a BS in Psychology, MEd in Mental Health Counseling, and an EdS degree. I have specialized experience with students, athletes, and high-performers navigating anxiety, performance, pressure, identity, and life transitions so they can feel grounded, confident, and in control without sacrificing their mental health. I am also a Certified Mental Performance Consultant and integrate these strategies when I work with athletes and those who are having performance difficulties. My overall clinical experience ranges from outpatient therapy for ages 3+ to crisis counseling at a children’s psychiatric hospital. I enjoy working with the emerging adulthood population - helping them explore and survive all the "scaries" that come with growing up!

Hi, I’m Blair, a licensed therapist in North and South Carolina and an AASECT-certified sex therapist. I work with adults who are neurodivergent and navigating mood-related challenges such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and burnout.
Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel like they’re constantly playing catch-up internally. They may struggle with intense emotions, overthinking, difficulty following through, or feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift, especially during times of stress or transition.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies including DBT, CBT, and EMDR. I focus on helping you understand how your brain and nervous system are operating while also giving you practical tools you can actually use in your daily life.
I also integrate specialized training in sexual health and intimacy, supporting clients in navigating connection, communication, and desire in a way that feels safe and informed.
The clients I work best with are ready for more than just insight. They want meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on improving emotional regulation, reducing reactivity, strengthening relationships, and creating a life that feels more manageable, steady, and aligned with who you are.

Why filter by state rather than a city?
Why filter by state rather than a city?
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 the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.
Will my therapist take Aetna - Gravie?

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.
Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?
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 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.
