My name is Jennifer Bailey, I am a licensed clinical social worker and registered drama therapist. I support my clients in their desire to identify and achieve goals that allow them to live a life that brings them pride and contentment. Now you may be thinking “What in the world is Registered Drama Therapist (RDT)”? An RDT is a clinician that uses components of theater and drama to assist in making therapeutic changes. What this means is you have a choice. You could come to session and talk through what’s been going on with you, the emotions you are feeling or the goals you want to accomplish. Or you could come to session and create some art, express yourself through written word, enact the scenario where you said that thing you should have said in that one conversation that is replaying in your head. You could role play saying that comment that you thought of after the fact. Traditional psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is a brilliant way to gain understanding and accomplish your goals. However, there are times that maybe, talking it through just isn’t enough, maybe a movement, a sound, a song or picture helps you express and comprehend what’s going on inside you. Whatever you decide, in your session with me, you have a choice. I would be honored to help you, whether it be through helping you accomplish your goals, explore your thoughts and feelings or make positive and productive changes to your life. I hope to hear from you soon. If you would like to learn more about me, check out my website: https://baileyclinicalservices.com

Hi all, my name of Faye Miles and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and have been licensed since 2010. Do you find little happiness in your life? Do you find yourself anxious, depressed, unfilled in relationships, constantly comparing yourself to others? Or do you find little time for yourself always giving your all to your work or others? Have you been hurt by others and are looking for healing or experienced loss that has left you depleted? What if I told you, there are ways to live and feel happy and fulfilled. There are ways to heal. Self-love is important because it motivates much of our positive behavior while reducing harmful behavior. It both empowers us to take risks and to say no to things that don't work for us. It's a key component of building self-compassion. Self-love helps us take care of ourselves, lower stress, and strive for success and I strive to help adolescents, young adults and adults find fulfillment and happiness through exploration and exercises into their identity. This also can promote healing. I am passionate about this work and working with others and if you feel I am the right fit we will work together in this journey to help you explore, find resources and hopefully find self-love, and compassion.

Hey there! I’m so proud of you for taking this step in your healing journey—it’s not always easy, but it’s so worth it! I’m Dana Cila, a Licensed Clinical Therapist and the founder of Healing Convos. As a millennial therapist, I know firsthand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re caught up in hustle culture, societal pressures, and the challenges of just adulting. Whether it’s navigating toxic work environments, experiencing friendship breakups, or feeling like you always have to be “on,” it’s exhausting. That’s why I’m here to help you prioritize you. Together, we’ll work on: • Letting go of hustle culture: Embracing rest and redefining success on your terms. • Solo dating: Showing up for yourself and learning how to truly love and prioritize you. • Setting boundaries: Saying no without guilt and protecting your energy. • Walking away from what no longer serves you: Jobs, relationships, habits—whatever it is. • Healing from friendship breakups: Because losing a friend can hurt just as much as any other loss. • Dealing with toxic work environments: Finding ways to protect your mental health while you thrive. • Living the soft life: Embracing joy, peace, and intentional living as acts of self-love. I created Healing Convos to give Millennials and Gen Zers, especially men and women of color, a safe space to explore these challenges and find their voice. My approach is all about empowering you to step away from societal pressures and step into a life that’s aligned with your values. I genuinely believe we’re not defined by our past or our current circumstances. My clients often describe me as authentic, personable, and non-judgmental—someone who sees the real you and is here to walk alongside you as you grow. If you’re ready to stop chasing and start living a life that feels intentional, joyful, and yours, I’m here for you. Let’s create your soft life together—you’ve got this!

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! Reaching out for help is a big step for many people and I truly appreciate your courage and willingness to lean into growth and problem-solving! I am excited to get to know more about you and how I might be helpful or supportive. I operate from a strong relationally-based approach that is client-centered, solution-focused, and non-judgmental. I am very committed to building rapport, open communication, and assisting in helping you meet the goals you set, at the pace that you feel is appropriate. I believe in creating a nurturing, comfortable, and safe space for expression that promotes authentic exploration and insight. To tell you a bit about myself, I have been an independently licensed social worker since 2013. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from Wheaton College in Massachusetts (2006) and my master's degree in social work from the University of New England in Maine (2010). I spent much of my earlier professional career working with children/adolescents, young adults, and families, primarily within the confluence of mental health and education, before transitioning into private practice. My clinical approach and style is always crafted for the person/people sitting in front of me, drawing influence from Cognitive Behavioral, Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Humanistic, and Somatic forms of Therapy (among others), including techniques in mindfulness, rational emotive therapy, applied behavioral analysis, family systems, relational therapy, and narrative therapy. We will work together to figure out what you are comfortable exploring and how I can be most effective in helping you to reach your goals. My therapeutic skillset is strongest with individual challenges related to behavioral/emotional management (such as coping with strong feelings or life events, self-control, child/adolescent social/emotional/behavioral struggles), identity formation/re-formation/life transitions (exploring feelings of being lost or alone, questions such as, "Who am I? How do I figure out who I am/who I want to be/what I want to do with my life moving forward? How have/are experiences and influences affecting my sense of self and others?"), and relational dynamics (family systems, parent/child relationships, sibling relationships, and peer relationships).

I'm your partner! Let's navigate life's challenges as they emerge. I'm your partner that supports you in building those healthy coping skills that already exists within; a healthier version of your self. It's like my Texas sister Beyonce' says "Let me upgrade you". As the times change, we must have the ability to upgrade the manner in which we embrace and manage the impact of those changes such as changes in job, relocation, death of a loved one or family member, empty-nesters, transitioning into a caretaker role for a parent , child, or sibling.... I have an interesting educational background as I presently have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Sam Houston State University, A Master's of Social Work from The University of New England and presently working towards a Doctorate of Psychology in Behavioral Health Leadership. In my free time I love to eat seafood and spend time with my family. I hope to partner with you soon as you are the expert of your life.

Empowering Others to Live Happier Lives. I am Jennifer Evans, LPC, LMHC. I am a board-certified therapist in multiple states and over 20 years of counseling experience, with a proven success of reaching remission in Depression with my clients in one session; this is within the 95th percentile of clinicians measured. I am passionate about effecting change and helping work with people to achieve insight in order to gain maximum potential and reach their most desired visions and goals. I know personally and professionally, how difficult it is to get here and I am proud of your first step and commitment to change. I know I can be of valued support as we work together to reach success, insight, and overcome emotional and psychosocial stressors. A little more about me; I was born and raised in Florida. I did my undergraduate at Florida State University, and moved to Virginia to attend Eastern Virginia Medical School, where I studied clinical counseling and received my Master’s in Art Therapy. As a military spouse, we relocated many times, having to redevelop my career each duty station, which gave me a myriad of experiences with various populations. This has lead me to focus on occupational counseling and the effects of stress on our mental health. My passion for treatment is trauma and life experiences that lead us to feel fearful, unsafe, and saddened; sometimes with no explanation as to why we feel the way we do. I work with my client’s in a person-centered format with cognitive-behavioral underpinnings and psychoeducation to not only work through and build a better understanding of ourselves but the experiences and beliefs that built us and ways to endure and build resiliency to better manager those feelings so they are not as overwhelming in the future.

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 the state. 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 UnitedHealthcare StudentResources?

Yes! If you use UnitedHealthcare StudentResources you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have UnitedHealthcare StudentResources 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 Child or Adolescent?

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. For example, your selected specialty, Child or Adolescent, is filtering therapists in Virginia that work with patients with similar concerns.

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.
