Hi there! It's so nice to virtually meet you - I don't tend to enjoy small talk and I don't find credentials to be all that interesting (LCSW in TN), so I am going to tell you some facts about myself. I believe the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, so if we have similar interests and/or values, we may be a good fit. Here we go: - I am an unapologetic Swiftie - I hand out book recommendations and quotes like they're candy - I have a deep passion for travel - and especially get a kick out of doing it on a budget - I am a bit of a personal finance nerd, to the point of getting a certificate in Financial Social Work (that's right- that means we can work on your finances together!) - I am a big fan of social justice and human rights - I have two dogs - a chocolate lab and a boxer - I enjoy getting outdoors and into the backcountry - I always get my daily dose of reality tv Here is one of my favorite quotes: "These are the words I want on my gravestone: that I was a helper, and that I danced."

I am a native Memphian who enjoys spending time with my husband and two daughters. My career as a counselor began in the school setting where I served as a middle school counselor. I earned the nickname of "adolescent whisperer" from making deep and meaningful connections with teens and their families. I wanted to extend my services beyond the school setting, thus I earned the mental health license that allows me to practice outside of the school setting as well. I counsel from the belief that we are all imperfect beings working to navigate life’s challenges.

"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 helping children and teens who are often overwhelmed by their feelings, leading to meltdowns, outbursts, high anxiety, or withdrawal. I also specialize in helping parents navigate relationships with their children and teens. If you're a parent feeling like you're "walking on eggshells" or struggling to manage the chaos, I am here to help. Many parents come to me feeling exhausted, unsure, and stretched thin by the demands of work, relationships, and their own mental health.

I work primarily with adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or persistent emotional patterns they don’t fully understand. Many of my clients come to therapy wondering, “Why do I keep reacting this way?” or “Why does this feel harder for me than it should?” Together, we explore the underlying patterns that shape your thoughts, emotions, and responses. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in helping you gain insight while also building practical tools you can use in everyday life. Life can feel chaotic at times.

Starting therapy is a brave step, and I want you to feel seen, supported, and respected as you take it. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee, I offer both in-person and telehealth services for adults who are navigating life’s challenges and transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in proven methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These approaches help clients notice and work through unhelpful thoughts and emotions, while also clarifying what truly matters most to them. I believe lasting change happens when we align decisions and behaviors with our values, even when life feels heavy or uncertain. I often work with women’s issues, grief, anxiety, and the unique dynamics of blended families. Whether you’re adjusting to a new season of life, carrying the weight of loss, or feeling stuck in old patterns, my goal is to help you discover tools, insights, and courage to move forward. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” who you are—it’s about building resilience, deepening self-acceptance, and creating a more meaningful life. Clients describe my style as compassionate yet straightforward. I will encourage you, but I will also gently challenge you when needed, because I believe growth often happens at the edge of our comfort zones. My counseling room—whether on a porch swing in East Tennessee or on a telehealth screen—is a safe and steady space for you to bring your whole self. If you’re ready to explore new ways of coping, connect more deeply with your values, and take steps toward the life you want, I would be honored to walk with you on that journey.

I'm in recovery for alcohol use disorder and am a combat veteran. I've had to learn coping skills or lose everything. I understand anxiety and depression, which helps me provide a compassionate, collaborative, and grounded approach. I specialize in helping individuals develop coping skills that can be used in real-time to alleviate negative moods and improve daily functioning. Whether you're facing a major life transition or seeking to learn coping skills, I'm here to walk with you through the process. Healing isn't linear, and therapy should be tailored to your unique goals and strengths. I can help you better understand the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors: "What makes you tick?" Together, we can identify negative thinking and reshape it in a way that changes how you feel. I can help you challenge negative thoughts and identify more helpful/realistic thoughts. This will help you better enjoy your life because you will view it more positively. We'll create long-term change with tools such as quick and easy mental exercises. I also integrate journaling, mindfulness exercises, and stress-reduction techniques to support positive outcomes. Together, we can identify healthy coping skills that actually work. You deserve a life that brings you contentment and joy. Let's work together on this journey of healing.

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. I also have extensive experience supporting teenagers who have experienced trauma, which led me to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Currently, I work with adults and youth, and I'm a strong believer in the mental/physical health connection. I am currently a social worker for 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 both IL and TN. When I am not in sessions, you will find me hiking with the doggos, road-tripping in the Jeep, and going into "Mom Mode" with my three kids. I look forward to connecting with you :)

Navigating life while trying to manage overwhelming emotions can be difficult. The good news is that you don't have to do it alone. My name is Dr. LeChey Hibbler, licensed clinical psychologist, and I help individuals acquire the tools needed to be the best version of themselves while honoring their authenticity. I have over 8 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals who have difficulties managing their symptoms. I have a strong passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion and I treat individuals as people first. I place emphasis on allowing my patients and clients to explore the connection between physical health and emotional well-being, often highlighting the importance of the whole health approach. I see psychotherapy as a means to help people overcome their struggles and begin to live a more present, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

Therapy is a work of my heart. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and consider it a privilege for individuals to share their stories, often including their pain as well. I value individuals who take the courageous step of coming to therapy for the first time or starting anew with me. I am curious by nature and provide space for people to share their stories; I may also ask questions to delve a little deeper. I value humor in the healing process. When it's appropriate, I may say something to lighten the mood, as therapy can be difficult at times. My faith shapes my life and gives me hope, and I hold hope for every person I meet as I believe they are valuable, resilient, and capable of change.

Hi im Greg Kirkham! Im a licensed therapist, practicing for over 21 years. I specialize in treating trauma. Now, you may be saying “but I don’t have trauma!” Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and is often not recognized as such, but almost always has a significant impact on someone’s overall mental, physical and emotional health. Trauma also presents in many different forms, including struggles with depression, anxiety and anger management. Over my career I have worked with an array of populations, including children/families, juvenile sex offenders, and even convicts. Currently, I serve those who served us as a therapist with the VA in middle TN. Over the past seven years, I’ve seen evidence-based treatments work wonders with PTSD and trauma in our veterans. With GrowTherapy, I’m now able to provide these and other treatments to YOU! Whether you’re not real sure or highly motivated to get help, I’d love to discuss options and see if we’re a good fit! Thanks for reading and congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier and more fulfilling life!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Tennessee rather than a city like Nashville?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Tennessee. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Tennessee from Memphis to Knoxville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Tennessee.

Will my therapist take Aetna?

Yes! If you use Aetna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Aetna 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.

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?

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.
