Hi, I’m Chad Stiles, PhD, LMFT. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I have a particular focus on supporting those impacted by military sexual trauma and the ways it can affect both individuals and their relationships. My approach to therapy is collaborative, strength-based, and solution-focused. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to help you identify your strengths and use them to move forward in a way that feels meaningful and manageable. Rather than staying stuck in what’s not working, we focus on what is working and how to build on it. Clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what the next step should be. In our work together, we create a safe, respectful space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—just a place to start. Whether you’re seeking support individually or as a couple, therapy can help you gain clarity, improve communication, rebuild trust, and feel more grounded and in control of your life. My goal is to help you make real, practical progress so you can move forward with greater confidence, connection, and a clearer sense of direction.

I am excited about the success my clients have accomplished. It is their discovery that is most interesting: for example, it is possible to change personality even though we have always been told it never happens! We approach this by exploring emotions that form the building blocks of personality. In this sort of work, I find that the most effective therapy happens when clients and I form a interpersonal therapeutic bond of trust. By the way, when I say that change is possible , I really believe it, and I am confident that if you are willing to work on what many would call impossible...building trust...you will leave our sessions feeling a sense of increased wholeness.

Hello. Thank you for stopping in. I have over twenty years of clinical practice working with adults. Much of my clinical experience has been working with our Military and Veterans. I appreciate working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. As my client I will engage you in broad conversation about how you are functioning and together we will develop strategies and skills to improve your day to day life. Although therapy is a place of 'work' therapy is also a place where you can expect to feel listen to and know your opinion matters. I frequently hear clients tell me they looked forward to their next session. So, in the tone of 'looking forward' I hope to meet you soon.

Everyone needs help from time to time. I enjoy helping people to find their strengths; their gifts, talents and abilities that they were created with. Whether you’re experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or just feeling stuck, therapy can provide a safe place to work things out and find solutions that are right for you. I find that many people are helped by connection with a therapist, someone who will listen, but also use their training and experience, bringing that into the relationship.

Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm so glad you're here. I want to recognize the courage it takes to begin this process. Whether you're feeling a mix of hope, confusion, or relief, simply being here is a significant step toward your mental health goals. I work hard to create an environment that is safe and down to earth where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges related to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. I focus on helping clients develop flexible thinking and self-compassion — practical tools that help you step away from the self-criticism and stuck patterns that keep life feeling heavy. In our sessions, you can expect honest, grounding conversations that help you slow down, get clear on what you need, and start moving in a direction that actually feels like you. Counseling offers the space to figure out the 'how' — whether that's rebuilding, resting, or simply learning to be who you are. If something here clicked for you, trust that. Schedule a session and let's start building something better together.

Hello, my name is Robert. If you are like other people and feeling the pressures of everyday life then the stress from the cares of attempting to live a normal life are working overtime. The pace today is more hectic. People need help. Everyone deserves a safe place and a stable environment. I find the most effective ways to help people feel comfortable with therapy is a welcoming attitude with curiosity about their experiences that have brought the person into the session. My approach is to build a strong therapeutic alliance, provide acceptance, and focus on the present moment without judgment to help people gain the skills for managing complicated situations. Clients have often stated the experience was easy to discuss their issues without worry and they felt non-judged regardless of the situation. We will work together to discover what works, promote healing the whole person, and help understand the dynamics of existing relationships to choose to respond in a rational way to master life to the greatest extent possible. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you’re making the right choice. In our sessions together I’ll meet you with compassion and with evidence-based strategies so you can build resilience, and stability to find the supports you need.

Before becoming a licensed therapist, I spent a career as a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division where I deployed four times. The struggles many Veterans are facing today are what galvanized my interest and desire to begin my 2nd career as a therapist. I utilized my GI bill to complete my undergraduate degree at McDaniel College in Westminster, MD and my graduate degree at University of Maryland Baltimore. I recently completed the supervised portion of my career and am currently fully licensed to practice independently as a LCSW-C.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Virginia rather than a city like Richmond?

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.

Will my therapist take Cigna?

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.

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.
