Hi! My name is Sarah Swensen, and I am a warm, down-to-earth Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping clients navigate difficult relationships, family challenges, grief, and life’s stressors. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University and have over 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of helping people work through challenging experiences, better understand themselves, and find ways to move forward. My ultimate goal as your therapist is for you to feel truly heard, supported, and understood. I’m here to help you feel empowered and confident in making choices that are right for you—not to tell you what you should do, but to provide a safe space where we can work through things together.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who is trauma-informed and deeply passionate about the healing that can take place within the therapeutic relationship. I believe therapy can be truly life-changing, and it continues to amaze me what can unfold in the course of a single hour when someone feels safe, seen, and supported. At the heart of my work is the belief that life is about connection—that relationships are what give our lives meaning and are often the reason we get up each day, whether those connections are with partners, family, friends, or ourselves. My goal is to help clients strengthen these relationships, heal from past wounds, and experience greater emotional safety, understanding, and fulfillment.

I’m a licensed psychologist (PhD) specializing in autism, ADHD, and complex patterns in both children and adults.
I work with thoughtful individuals and parents who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like something isn’t fully adding up—especially when traditional approaches haven’t helped.
My approach is warm, direct, and insight-driven. I don’t just listen—I help you understand patterns, make sense of what’s going on, and figure out what actually works for your brain (or your child’s).
I’m neurodiversity-affirming and experienced in differentiating anxiety, burnout, ADHD, and sensory or social overwhelm.
With parents, I focus on helping you understand your child more clearly and respond in ways that actually work—so things feel more manageable at home.
Sessions are collaborative, practical, and focused on meaningful change.

My client-centered approach blends experiential, trauma-informed, neurological perspectives alongside philosophical wisdom traditions that honor natural flow, personal responsibility, compassionate awareness, and mindful presence.
I believe therapy thrives when it’s collaborative and stigma-free. Each session is shaped to your needs, not a template. Alongside traditional counseling, I bring Ketamine-assisted therapy and Brainspotting into the session, offering meaningful tools for exploration and lasting change.

Hello there!
I believe that a person can change. I also beleive that each person deserves to feel heard and respected. My goal for you is to feel as though you can work through your issues and learn to manage your life, be content with who you are, and be happy. I work with individuals to remediate any number of issues in their lives, to make decisions, and to manage difficult cognitive or emotional experiences. I work with couples to learn to address conflict, learn new skills, and learn how to live lives together.
I think of counseling as a process where you and I build a relationship and work together to address whatever issues are impacting you. I'm a holistic counselor, meaning that I will help you explore multiple aspects of your life, including how you engage socially, how you think about situations, how you manage or express your emotions, your behaviors and skills, the quality of your interactions with family and friends, and other areas. I believe that we all have untapped resources, both internal and external, that we can use to make our lives better.
In terms of my background, I have worked in non-profit and two private practice environments. I have also served as a faculty member in clinical mental health counseling programs since 2011. I train future generations of counselors to work with people.
I hold several licenses and certifications. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee. I am also a Qualified Supervisor in Florida. I have published several manuscripts, a book on the assessment and treatment of trauma and I have current works in press. conventions.

Hi. My name is Deborah Vaughn and I have dedicated my life to making your life better. I have laughed and I have loved. I have cried and I have lost. I have experienced anxiety and depression, poverty and wealth. I have had beauty and acceptance, age and neglect. I have given birth to four children, two that were incarcerated for crimes, and I have had them brought back to me renewed again in life. I've been sad and lonely and I have been on top of the mountain singing praises to the God of the Universe. Experiences, I've had too many to number, both good and bad, and I have learned from each and every one. Empathy I have for all, because I too have probably been there, or I could have been there easily enough. I have saved them all in my mind and heart so that I can help you through any of them you might need my help with. Sincerely, Deborah

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out! Do you ever have those days when things are especially difficult?? Many of the people that I meet are looking for support with mental health, substance abuse, and managing traumatic events. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. Currently, I work with adults and youth, and I'm a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection. I also support a small hospice team in my area so am comfortable having uncomfortable conversations.
I believe in strengths-based recovery that looks at all the systems that can impact us. Bits and pieces of different models incorporated together tend to have the most benefit, based on the person's needs. I have seen so many great successes! I enjoy supporting the people I work with and going through their journey with them. I am currently licensed in IL, MI and TN. When I am not in sessions, you will find me hiking with the doggos, traveling with my social groups,, and going into "Mom Mode" with my three kids.

Hello, I'm Rebecca, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I believe that therapy should be a place where you can truly be yourself—a space where you can come as you are with no fear of judgment. My practice is built on the philosophy that genuine connection and compassionate support are the cornerstones of lasting change. I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults navigating the unique pressures of modern life. I work with those feeling overwhelmed by "big feelings"—emotions that often manifest as high anxiety, social withdrawal, or intense reactivity. My approach moves beyond simply managing symptoms; I focus on building true emotional resilience. By helping my clients identify and understand their internal landscape, I empower them to move from a place of overwhelm to one of confidence and self-advocacy.
Recognizing that healthy development doesn't happen in a vacuum, I am equally passionate about supporting the parents navigating these transitions. I work closely with caregivers who feel exhausted, overstretched, or as if they are "walking on eggshells" at home. I provide a grounded space to troubleshoot the complexities of parenting, helping families trade daily chaos for deeper, more resilient connections.
If you are looking for a collaborative partner to help your family find its footing, I invite you to reach out so we can begin this journey together.

Basically, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have a background of working with individuals but due to my family therapy training I do want to know your family situation and ways that work and don't work for you. I have been working with Medicare clients and SPMI (Severe and Persistent Mental Illness). Many time I have found that clients who usually manage their lives well can sometimes feel overwhelmed by changes that occur in their lives. I truly want to locate and focus on strengths, but want to be supportive of areas where support is needed. Life can be difficult and learning coping skills can help us navigate both the highs and lows that life brings us. If needed, I guide individual to explore and analysis their past. I am friendly and positive. I want to help you feel better. If there are traumas, I will listen. 🛷

Hello! My name is Stacey Shine.
Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, past trauma, or simply feeling overwhelmed by daily life, therapy can offer clarity and relief. I work with individuals and couples to explore what’s not working, uncover inner strengths, and develop practical tools for real, lasting change.
Clients often share that they feel at ease in our sessions—that therapy feels low-stress, grounded, and collaborative. My goal is to create a space where you can speak freely, feel safe, and do meaningful work toward your personal goals.
My approach is warm, direct, and personalized. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, The Gottman Method for couples, and Strengths-Based techniques. Whether we're tackling anxiety, improving communication, or building resilience, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
Therapy doesn't have to feel intimidating. It can be a supportive space to pause, reflect, and grow—and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi. My name is Christine Toler, Chris, and I earned my Ed.S and LPC- MHSP in the state of Tennessee, New Jersey and Delaware. I have been licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2010, and a School Counselor since 2006.
I started being a believer in therapy when it first helped me over forty years ago, (as a child). I thought what a wonderful way to get to the root of the problem... and get rid of it. Since then, I have been working on myself as a client as well as acquiring a licensure to help others, including teens, adults and families. I focus on solution based and non-judgmental cognitive therapy. I believe understanding a problem is not the end of the work. (unfortunately)
The action we take to support a positive change... is what changes lives. And while I have experienced that in some very important areas... I continue to grow... daily. I choose to be transparent about that because I believe it is important to the work that my clients know I understand how it feels to be in their chair.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, doubt, guilt, grief, or all of the above, I believe I can help you.

Also known as individual psychotherapy, this kind of treatment is a unique opportunity to work one-on-one with a therapist to develop healthy coping skills for the long term. The beauty of individual therapy is the opportunity for flexibility, as treatment plans can be easily structured around your needs and background.

I work with people whose lives have become complicated, heavy, chaotic, or stuck — often after years of stress, addiction, trauma, relationship problems, major life transitions, or simply trying to survive the best way they knew how. My approach is direct, grounded, and practical. I believe meaningful change comes from honest self-examination, healthier behaviors, and learning how to live in a way that is both productive and emotionally sustainable.
Therapy with me is not about pretending life is easy or offering rehearsed positivity. It is about building a real therapeutic relationship where people can reduce the noise, face difficult truths without shame, and develop the tools, structure, and perspective needed to create a more purposeful and satisfying life.

Hello, my name is Shamicka Cannon, LCSW, and I am passionate about walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to create meaningful change. I believe healing and growth happen when we learn to understand ourselves, challenge unhelpful patterns, and embrace healthier ways of living.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing challenges such as:
Anxiety, depression, and trauma
Behavioral difficulties and emotional regulation struggles in children and teens
Life transitions, stress, and relationship challenges
Grief, loss, and unresolved pain from the past
Individuals seeking personal growth, healing, and stronger coping skills
Whether it’s a young person learning to manage emotions, an adult working through stress and trauma, or a family striving for stronger communication, I tailor my approach to meet each client where they are.
Through our work together, my clients gain:
Clarity and self-awareness about their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
Practical tools and coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions
Healing and resilience in the face of past trauma or current challenges
Improved relationships through healthier communication and boundaries
Confidence and empowerment to live in alignment with their values and goals
Ultimately, my mission is to help clients feel more in control of their lives, more hopeful about their future, and more connected to themselves and others.

"We don't have to do it all alone; we were never meant to." – Brené Brown
This belief is at the heart of my work as a therapist. I am passionate about walking alongside my clients as a team, helping them navigate challenges and achieve their goals. Many people share things with me that they have never shared with anyone else, which is why I believe that trust and the therapeutic relationship are the most important foundations of therapy.
I work with individuals ages 10 to 55 and have experience supporting both individuals and families. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency (ARC), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My specialty is working with teens and young adults, as I believe this transitional period is critical for personal growth and reaching one’s full potential.
Before becoming a therapist, I served as a firefighter and first responder for over a decade, including combat firefighting tours in Iraq. This background has shaped my deep commitment to resilience, healing, and supporting others through life’s most challenging moments.

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.
