Hi, I'm Margeaux Groene, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I bring a wealth of experience and passion to my work with adolescents and adults seeking help with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), and substance use disorders. Originally from Tidewater, Virginia, I graduated from Calvin College with a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Communication and earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. During my counseling internship, I focused on the effective use of telehealth treatment with the adolescent population. I am skilled in the treatment of substance use disorders, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and co-occurring disorders such as depression and trauma. My previous positions with Synergy Counseling LLC, Caron Treatment Center’s Northern Virginia location, and most recently, New Paradigm Recovery, have given me years of experience working in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient settings. These experiences have honed my specialization in the treatment of co-occurring substance use disorders and PTSD. My passion for working with clients suffering from unresolved trauma and clinically treatable PTSD led me to obtain training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through the EMDRIA-approved Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy in January 2022. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals and improve your well-being!

Are you overwhelmed by daily tasks? Do you often feel that you are not good enough or that other people don't value and respect you? Do you experience sadness, loneliness, guilt or fear? Have you turned to self-defeating means (addictions, withdrawing, self-abuse, abusive relationships, etc) to cope with these feelings? If so, you are not alone. There is a good chance that the sense of "something missing" you feel comes from childhood issues. Others with these concerns benefit from therapy everyday. Please let me help. I believe that therapy can produce healthy changes. I love being a therapist and understand the risk involved in taking the first steps toward getting help. Contact me today to begin your journey toward a satisfying life! While I am happy to address relationship issues, I do not provide couples therapy. I also do not treat eating disorders.

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! Before I became a therapist, I was a yoga and mindfulness educator for 30+ years. I bring my expertise in mindfulness, meditation and breath work into every session treating mind, body and spirit. What ever your mental health challenge, I'm here to help. Seeking out, and then showing up for therapy can be hard, but you are making the right choice! We'll work together using evidence-based techniques that are proven to help you manage your struggles and heal your trauma. I hope we connect soon and get you started on a path to healing and happiness right away. Just one other thing... I require all of my clients to have their cameras on during all sessions. Its a safety thing.... and I appreciate your understanding.

Frequently asked questions

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 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.
