I'm Cherysh Caldwell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Georgia and Alabama. I work with adults who are capable, accomplished, and quietly carrying more than the people around them realize — navigating burnout, anxiety, life transitions, and the particular weight that comes from living and leading in systems that demand a great deal and don't always give much back. My path to this work is not a straight line. Before clinical practice, I spent years working at the intersection of people and systems — as an educator, a nonprofit executive, a public administrator, and a local government leader. That background shapes everything about how I work. I don't just see the person in front of me. I see the environments, relationships, and pressures that shaped them. I bring that same depth to therapy — creating a space that is honest, affirming, and grounded in the belief that sustainable wellbeing has to be intentionally designed. If you are ready to stop managing and start building something different, I'd be glad to work with you.

Welcome! I'm Kianna McIntosh, LICSW, a licensed therapist and ADHD coach. I help adults who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally exhausted beneath the surface. Many of my clients struggle with ADHD, anxiety, overthinking, low self-esteem, or relationship patterns that leave them feeling misunderstood, stuck, or unsure of themselves. I specialize in working with adults navigating ADHD, attachment wounds, emotional overwhelm, and relational challenges. Whether you're struggling with focus and follow-through, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling trapped in the same relationship cycles, therapy can help you better understand what is driving those patterns. Together, we'll explore how your emotions, life experiences, and nervous system responses influence the way you think, cope, and connect with others. My approach focuses on emotional regulation, self-awareness, and building a stronger sense of safety and trust within yourself and your relationships.

I use evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, while also creating space for honest, real conversations.

You are capable, dependable, and used to carrying a great deal on your shoulders. Others often look to you for support, strength, and stability. But even the strongest people can begin to feel emotionally exhausted when stress becomes constant and there is little time to rest, recover, or care for themselves. I specialize in working with healthcare professionals, caregivers, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are experiencing burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are functioning well on the outside while internally feeling drained, mentally overloaded, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about their sense of purpose. With over 13 years of clinical experience across healthcare systems, private practice, and community settings, I understand how prolonged pressure and responsibility can quietly impact emotional well-being. My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in helping clients slow down, reconnect with themselves, strengthen healthy boundaries, and build a more sustainable and balanced way of living — not just surviving.

I have been in the helping profession for over forty years, and I strive to embody authenticity both professionally and personally. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming sex and gender therapist, and I provide WPATH letters to those identifying as being of the transgender experience. My professional experience, as a former first responder, medical and clinical social worker, advocate, activist, educator, and private practice owner, has provided me with a wealth of knowledge and expertise spanning various levels of public service, including federal, state, and local roles. My counseling style is warm, interactive, and person-centered. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I create a space where clients can show up as they are without judgment and begin exploring the thoughts, experiences, and patterns that shape their lives. My approach blends insight, practical tools, and genuine conversation to help clients build self awareness, strengthen relationships, and move toward the version of themselves they want to become. Whether we are working through life transitions, emotional challenges, or relationship dynamics, my goal is to walk alongside you as you create meaningful and lasting change

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Alabama rather than a city like Huntsville?

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

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available 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.
