Life Transitions
Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, a mom, a military spouse, and someone who knows firsthand what it's like to navigate life with ADHD. So, when I say I understand how overwhelming life can get, I'm not just speaking from a textbook.
I work with adults and teens navigating ADHD, burnout, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I have a particular passion for helping people who seem to have it all together on the outside but feel like they're barely keeping up on the inside. You know, the ones who are always showing up for everybody else but can't remember the last time they showed up for themselves.
As a military spouse, I also understand the unique challenges of military life, including deployments, constant adjustments, and the pressure to be strong and independent even when you're exhausted. And as someone diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I understand how validating, frustrating, and eye-opening it can be to finally make sense of the way your brain works.
My approach to therapy is warm, conversational, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and solution-focused techniques. My experience in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings has taught me that healing isn't one-size-fits-all.
I believe therapy should feel more like a meaningful conversation than an interrogation. We'll laugh when it's appropriate, work through the hard stuff, and make room for you to show up exactly as you are.
You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. That's part of what we're here to explore together.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with three years of clinical experience providing telehealth-based psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families. My professional identity is grounded in social work values and a commitment to trauma-informed, relational, and practical care.
My background includes extensive experience in child welfare, with prior work in Child Protective Services and adoption services. This foundation has shaped my understanding of how early adversity, family systems, and relational experiences influence emotional well-being across the lifespan. I approach therapy with an appreciation for both individual strengths and the broader contexts in which people live, work, and care for others.
As a clinician, I strive to create a therapeutic space that is collaborative, respectful, and emotionally safe. I work from an integrative framework that draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and attachment-informed principles. My style is both exploratory and skills-based, allowing room for insight while also focusing on practical strategies that support meaningful change in daily life.
I believe that therapy should be responsive to each client’s unique needs, goals, and pace. I emphasize building a strong therapeutic alliance, clarifying goals, and helping clients develop tools for emotional regulation, problem-solving, and self-understanding. Through telehealth, I aim to provide accessible, high-quality care that supports growth, resilience, and long-term well-being.

Hi, I'm Knigeria! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), and I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are. You don't have to have everything figured out, know exactly what to say, or even understand what you're feeling to get started. Sometimes, you just know something doesn't feel right, and that's okay. We can work through it together. My goal is to create a welcoming, comfortable environment where you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. I bring a down-to-earth, genuine, and collaborative approach to therapy because I believe meaningful connections are at the heart of meaningful change.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate life's ups and downs, whether that means managing anxiety or depression, working through family or relationship concerns, navigating life transitions, understanding big emotions, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everyday life. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play-based techniques, and practical strategies tailored to each client's individual needs. I believe in meeting clients where they are and recognizing that everyone's experiences and journey look different. Whether we spend time talking things through, getting creative, or finding practical ways to navigate everyday challenges, my hope is that therapy feels like a place where you can be yourself, feel supported, and grow at your own pace.

I am a licensed independent practice-level clinical social worker. I have a Diplomate in Clinical Social Work DCSW. I have dedicated my career to working in behavioral health treatment. I have worked within the Department of Defense Schools in Europe and Asia. I have worked with Active Duty members, Veterans and their families. Prior to joining the Civil Service, I practiced mental health within the civilian community, my focus there was substance abuse, domestic violence and and a variety of mental health issues working with adolescents and adults. BLUF: There is nothing I haven't seen. My strongest ability lies in helping a client identify strengths and weaknesses while guiding them to identify goals and interventions that will work specifically for them. The most challenging part of therapy is believing it will make a difference. The best way to overcome that hurdle is to see successful outcomes.
Clinical experience has taught me that if you are willing to do the work, you will see results. Using the appropriate interventions, combined with mutual openness, respect and trust will enable you to overcome obstacles and achieve goals you didn't believe possible. Through years of dedicated work with all age groups, life experiences and extremely challenging circumstances, I have developed a strong sense of commitment in creating a safe and supportive environment that fosters healing, self-awareness and growth.

My name is Jennifer Bailey, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Registered Drama Therapist. I help clients identify and pursue the goals that lead to a life filled with meaning, pride, and contentment.
Now, you may be wondering: “What exactly is a Registered Drama Therapist (RDT)?” Simply put, it means I integrate elements of theater and creative expression into the therapeutic process. With me, you have options. You might choose a traditional talk-therapy session to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals. Or, if words don’t feel like enough, you might try something more experiential—writing, movement, role-play, or even reimagining and practicing conversations that keep replaying in your mind.
Talk therapy is a powerful tool for growth, but sometimes it takes more than words to truly process what’s happening inside. That’s where creativity can open new doors. Whether through conversation, movement, sound, or artistic expression, I provide a space where you can choose what feels most healing and helpful.
I would be honored to support you—whether that’s working toward personal goals, processing difficult emotions, or making positive and lasting changes in your life.

I am passionate and committed to the field of mental health. I understand clients' struggle grappling mental health issues because of my own experience managing family members with symptoms of mental illness. My path as a mental health provider became clear.

What happens during the first therapy session?
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.
