Insomnia/Sleep Issues
Hello, and welcome. My name is Ashley. I am a licensed counselor in North Carolina and Virginia, and I specialize in helping adults improve their sleep through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). I have been working in the mental health field since 2006 and have supported children, teens, families, and adults. On the Grow platform, however, I am exclusively providing CBT-I treatment for adults that have insomnia. I focus on providing a safe, private space where you can feel comfortable talking about your sleep challenges and learning practical skills to improve your rest. My approach is rooted in behavioral therapy, CBT-I, and mindfulness, which means we will work together to understand your sleep patterns and build habits that support better sleep over time. It is very important to me that every client is treated with kindness, compassion, and respect throughout our time together. Outside of my work, I value practicing what I encourage others to do. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, walking my dog, and engaging in activities like gardening and cooking. These moments help me stay grounded and connected, and I bring that same mindset into my work with clients.

I’m a client centered therapist who works best with individuals feeling overwhelmed by life’s transitions, new diagnoses, caregiving stress, anxiety, depression, or uncertainty in relationships or career. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and make meaningful changes. I believe therapy should be a collaborative partnership where you feel empowered to set goals, make changes, and grow. I tailor each session to your unique needs using evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT. CBT helps us identify cognitive distortions and behavioral patterns that affect daily functioning, while DBT supports trauma related work through mindfulness, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills.

Hi, I’m Faith Williams, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and the founder of The Place for Renewal Mental Health Counseling & Wellness. I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up as yourself without having to pretend that you have everything figured out. Life can be hard. Sometimes you’re doing your best to keep going, but underneath it all, you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, hurting, or simply unsure of what comes next. You may have spent a long time taking care of everyone else and forgotten what it feels like to take care of yourself. I’m here to help you slow down, feel seen, and make sense of what you’re carrying. My approach is trauma-informed and draws from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, we’ll focus on what you’re experiencing, what matters most to you, and the goals you want to work toward. My hope is that you leave our work together with greater clarity, stronger coping skills, and a deeper understanding of yourself. I want you to feel supported while also feeling empowered to grow. At The Place for Renewal, I believe your current circumstances don’t have to define your future. You can come as you are, start where you are, and take the next step from there. You can be restored. You can be transformed. You can be renewed. And sometimes, that journey begins with simply having someone walk alongside you.

Welcome and thank you for choosing me to walk alongside you for one of the greatest challenges of your life. You have made a wonderful choice of putting yourself first! I have been working with men, women, and families for the past 20 years and am dedicated to helping people heal themselves and restore family units. My style of therapy is very eclectic and person centered, meaning, I focus on the needs of the individual rather than using the same approach on each person. I do believe in a Cognitive Behavioral Approach as well as Solution Focused therapy because a shift in the mind is key as well as finding appropriate solutions to help move you forward. You are my number one priority!

I am Melinda Staton, LPC, Owner of Triumphant Coaching and Counseling LLC based in Virginia. I believe that healing begins beyond survival. I bring clinical expertise, lived experience and lived wisdom to my work in supporting clients through grief, chronic PTSD, chronic medical issues, cancer, military sexual trauma, anxiety, depression, caregiver burnout, and financial trauma. I specialize in helping survivors move from the raw pain and emotions of grief and loss to inner healing, transformation and empowerment. Many of my clients carry trauma that feels isolating, numbing, impossible to overcome or invisible to others—pain that can be hard to explain, hard to believe, or hard to hold alone. I create a space where you feel and know you are truly seen, believed, and supported every step of the journey to healing and wholeness.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, relational, and strengths-based care, with a focus on helping people better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. I work with people of all ages navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, boundaries, self-worth, life transitions, and the complicated process of becoming more fully yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen and supported while also having practical tools to help you move toward the life and relationships you want. I don’t believe you need to be “fixed.” I believe you deserve a space to understand yourself with more compassion, reconnect with your strengths, and make choices that feel more aligned with who you are.

Hello and welcome. I really enjoy getting to know people and building genuine connections as we move through the ups and downs of life together. In our work, we might focus on relationships, managing stress, improving communication, navigating life transitions, and finding steadiness with emotions and thoughts. We can also make space to understand past experiences, explore patterns in dating and intimacy, and work toward a more balanced and meaningful life. I’m especially interested in the parts of ourselves that don’t always get attention—the quieter or “hidden” pieces that often have a lot to teach us. If you’re willing to show up as you are, I’ll meet you there with care and consistency. Thank you for being here.

Life Transitions
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that people are often stronger, more resilient, and more capable than they realize. My role is to help clients uncover those strengths, understand the patterns that keep them stuck, and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, low self-confidence, relationship difficulties, and identity shifts. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based interventions, and practical problem-solving, I help clients understand not only what they are feeling, but why they are feeling it. Together, we explore the cycles that often drive distress. Many people find themselves reacting automatically to triggers, conflict, uncertainty, or emotional demands in ways that once helped them feel safe but no longer serve them. Therapy provides a space to slow down, recognize those patterns, and create opportunities for different choices. My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe healing begins when we can move from simply surviving to understanding ourselves with greater compassion and intention. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, struggling with anxiety, or feeling stuck in familiar patterns, I aim to help you reconnect with your strengths and build confidence in your ability to move forward

I have been a therapist for 18 years. My areas of expertise include working with neurodivergent individuals, navigating through life transitions, and managing daily stress and overwhelm. I'm very laid-back and casual. Whatever you're bringing to me will be met with compassion and non-judgment. I've also been told I'm very direct and honest. Therapy can also be about learning some hard truths about yourself. I prioritize honesty between us, so I'm open to feedback if we're going too fast or getting too intense.

Let us de-stigmatize mental health: people seek oil changes to keep their car running and/or annual teeth cleaning as a part of their medical hygiene and routine. Mental health therapy can be seen as an emotional tune-up. There is no shame in seeking help or support. If you are looking to process/work through a difficult time, situation, or emotion I can be of assistance. My name is Kendra and I graduated from Liberty University in 2013 with a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental/behavioral health field. My specialties include stress management, family systems, and life transitions. I can assist with managing your current stress or anxiety. I use an integrative and person-centered approach to be solution focused on your unique need. Whatever the reason you are seeking counseling I will be here to help process, encourage, and empower you through your therapeutic journey.

Are you a woman facing big decisions? Navigating relationship challenges, family dynamics, parenting difficulties, career pivots? My background shapes how I approach therapy with clients facing such women's issues, which includes years as a licensed mental health counselor, but also as serving in senior leadership within higher education, supporting clients as a transformational coach, and balancing parenting along the way. This mix (and juggling act) gives me a practical understanding of how emotional wellbeing is often shaped by work, caregiving, relationships, and major life responsibilities. Many of the woman I work with are thoughtful, capable, and carrying more than others realize. They often appear highly functional on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, depleted, uncertain, or disconnected from themselves. I help clients slow things down enough to understand what is happening beneath the surface, identify what needs attention, and move forward in ways that feel grounded and realistic. I am licensed in Washington, Virginia, and Rhode Island, am a nationally certified counselor, and hold a doctorate in adult and higher education. While my colleagues may call me Dr. T, in counseling I'm just Melanie. I'm here to support you, help you find clarity and calm, offer guidance, levity, and a safe space for tears, perimenopausal rage, or a well placed curse word. Together, we find solutions to the barriers keeping you from your next chapter.

Frequently asked questions

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

Yes! If you use Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Cigna you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

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.

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.

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.
