I am speaking directly to the genuine, successful women out there. The ones that teeter between I deserve a good relationship to what's wrong with me? The ones that time and time again keep finding themselves in the same place, wanting more for yourself, but unsure just why its not happening for you or what that is. Everyone tells you, that you are a great catch, yet you find yourself attracting these relationships where you are pretending to be someone you are not or just accepting what someone else will give. Or maybe for whatever reason change happened-divorce, kids go off to college and now what? My name is Tawny, I have 25 years experience as a mental health counselor and I have a road map let's start!

I’m a licensed professional counselor with over 12 years of experience working in crisis response, clinical assessment, and trauma-informed care. I work primarily with adults and adolescents 12+ navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, structured, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I look forward to working with people on an individual, voluntary basis. I worked for a long time on the involuntary end of treatment and still full heartedly believe in the capacity for change. I believe that the human spirit is intrinsically positive and we are all working towards being the best versions of ourselves with our available means. I applaud anyone reaching out to connect to another person in an attempt to better themselves, welcome you are in the right place. I help clients understand how past experiences and chronic stress continue to influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building practical skills for emotional regulation and sustainable coping. I place a strong emphasis on pacing, safety, and clarity, especially early in therapy, so clients feel supported while working toward meaningful change. I’m especially well suited to working with individuals who lead active lifestyles and value a therapy process that is goal-oriented, engaged, and applicable to everyday life. My goal is to provide a steady, supportive space where insight leads to action and progress feels both realistic and lasting.

I am a therapist that enjoys using client centered strategies to help clients better understand themselves and how they exist in the world around them. When I look at my journey through life, I have found that some of the greatest changes I have made were through conversations with others who helped me to see the world from a lens of choice. I have learned over the years that choice relates to actions, that in turn influence dynamics of empowerment and advocacy. Empowerment, advocacy, and perseverance are terms easy to grasp by definition, but much more difficult to follow through with in our day to day experiences. I believe that healing and growth really begin to set in when decisions are made to accept the current reality of ones life and then further commit to strategically apply necessary changes. Over time, I have noticed that therapy often can help people (myself included) gain a greater sense of self efficacy and self confidence, especially when we learn how powerful our thoughts and actions can be! In other words, it is ok if there are things happening in our day that we would rather not go through, however we also have a choice in how we respond in that day. I value the importance of a healthy and healing therapeutic relationship! I also value the process of exploring how trust and hope participate towards how we experience the world.

Tired of feeling stuck, anxious or depressed? Feeling overwhelmed? You've tried to pull yourself together, but the life you envision seems out of reach. You're not alone - there is hope for lasting change. I specialize in creating a warm, nonjudgmental space for adult women who want to explore what may be holding them back - whether it is anxiety that keeps you stuck in worry, depression that drains your joy, deep loneliness that makes relationships feel out of reach, eating disordered concerns or an addiction that may be rooted in unresolved trauma. Past experiences which once felt immensely triggering no longer have to spark anxiety, depression or the weight of old pain. I draw from a variety of methods including EMDR, MBCT, DBT, CBT, Polyvagal, IFS and somatic techniques to achieve holistic wellness. I believe in and am passionate about this work. It has been extremely gratifying to see clients transform and find freedom from their past.

I am a trauma-informed, skills-based therapist who helps adults move from feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck to feeling more grounded, regulated, and in control of their lives. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches including CBT and DBT, with a strong focus on practical tools, emotional regulation, and real-life change—not just insight. I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, and mild to moderate substance use concerns, especially those who want structure, clear goals, and strategies they can actually use between sessions. What makes my approach different is that I focus on helping clients build real-time skills for real-life moments, so progress isn’t just something you talk about in therapy—it’s something you can feel in your day-to-day life.

No matter what it is that you are going through, you don’t have to face it alone.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor in the state of Colorado. I received my Master's degree in Forensic Psychology from the University of Denver in 2017. After completing my Master’s Degree, I spent almost six years working with criminal justice involved clients - from substance abuse to domestic violence offenders. While I learned a lot doing that work, and it was extremely fulfilling to service victims and offenders, I decided to pursue working for myself within the private practice setting. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral techniques in my sessions, as well as being trained in Brainspotting for trauma specific treatment. I strongly believe in the connection between physical health and mental health, and do my best to focus on both aspects with the clients I see. I feel fortunate to be able to hear and share in other's stories and be a part of their journey to wellness.

I am a trauma-informed therapist who believes meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen, understood, and safe enough to be honest. My work is rooted in the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, nervous system, and relationships are deeply connected—and that healing requires addressing all of them, not just one part. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, relationship distress, and life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or disconnected from themselves or the people they love. Some are carrying the impact of past experiences that still show up in their present, even when they “should be fine by now.” In our work together, I provide a structured yet compassionate space where insight turns into action. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method, tailoring treatment to each client’s needs and goals. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and grounded in real-life application—not just insight, but skills and meaningful change. My goal is to help clients develop emotional regulation, clarity, and confidence—so they can respond rather than react, communicate more effectively, and feel more secure in themselves and their relationships. Over time, clients often report feeling less controlled by anxiety or past experiences, more connected to their values, and better equipped to build the life and relationships they want. Healing is not about becoming someone new, it’s about reclaiming parts of yourself that were lost, protected, or silenced along the way. I’m here to walk alongside you in that process.

Hi, I'm Emily and I've been practicing as a therapist for the last seven years. I began my own healing work when the coping strategies I relied on - and the mask I wore to get through life - finally stopped working. Under all the pain was a desire to live more honestly and deeply, and its what eventually led me to become a therapist. This is the kind of space I now intend to hold for others.

I’m Bill Hodson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) with more than 30 years of experience in behavioral health. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across many levels of care — including inpatient, residential, medical detox, day treatment, and outpatient settings. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how trauma, PTSD, and addiction impact people’s lives, and why individualized, compassionate treatment is so important. I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma and co-occurring addiction, with a particular focus on first responders, veterans, and individuals in high-stress professions. These clients face unique challenges, and I provide a safe, confidential space where they can process their experiences without judgment. I also work with adults from all walks of life who want to overcome trauma, anxiety, or patterns of substance use. In my practice, I use EMDR therapy to help clients reprocess painful memories, reduce triggers, and restore emotional balance. I am also certified in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), a cutting-edge approach for trauma, depression, and treatment-resistant conditions. By combining EMDR, KAP, and trauma-informed counseling, I create individualized treatment plans that meet clients where they are and help them move forward at a pace that feels safe. My clients often describe me as compassionate, collaborative, and approachable. Many find that over time, they experience relief from symptoms, improved relationships, and a renewed sense of resilience and hope. My goal is to help every client move from surviving to truly thriving.

With 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and Colorado, I help people get unstuck from patterns that keep repeating—even when they know better. Not just talk about it—actually change it. I’ve worked with Veterans, caregivers, people dealing with serious illness, and those carrying anxiety, depression, grief, and burnout from holding too much for too long. Most of my clients aren’t new to insight—they already understand their patterns. They just haven’t been able to change them yet. I don’t do cookie-cutter therapy. We look at your actual life—your history, relationships, nervous system, and habits—and figure out what’s really driving things. Then we work on it in a way that’s realistic and doable—something you can actually sustain. I’m direct and I’m kind. I’ll call things out when needed, but I’m not here to shame you—I’m here to help you move. You don’t have to filter yourself or pretend you’re more okay than you are. Just show up as you are and we’ll work with that. I’m a secular, affirming therapist. You don’t have to explain or defend who you are here. I work with LGBTQ+ clients, people in nontraditional relationships, and anyone who’s tired of feeling like they don’t quite fit. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing—but more importantly, I use what actually works for you. I’m also trained in psychedelic therapy and integration. If you want a therapist who will sit quietly and nod, I’m probably not your person. If you want someone who will help you understand what’s going on, challenge what’s not working, and actually help you change things—we’ll get along well.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and Texas and a Licensed Addiction Counselor in Colorado I have made the commitment to help others as they face adversity so as to develop a loving and compassionate relationship with themselves. I bring a wealth of experience and specialized training in addictions and mental health to my practice and there is one common theme I have noticed throughout my career, which is our self-talk. We are our own worst enemies, and this wreaks havoc on our self-esteem.

Welcome, I am Feven! Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals manage anxiety, depression and burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach; addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the different challenges they face and build coping skills to create more fulfilling and holistic life experiences. From my journey, I can personally attest to the power of support, in its many forms. This support goes beyond clients I service but also to their families and communities. I believe that mental wellness isn’t just individualistic; but includes the ecosystem surrounding the person. My praxis acknowledges and aims to support the village needed by all.  I’m also passionate about the transformative impact of safe and brave spaces for those who often experience exclusion. My career has afforded me opportunities to build trust with LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, Latina/o/x, and Refugee communities across the nation. It is a personal privilege to center wellness and holistic care for all as ‘self-care is a radical form of resistance.’ Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, trauma, PTSD, self-acceptance, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, empathy and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

It can feel like addiction is writing your story, but it doesn't have to! We all have the strength to learn how to work with our brain and not let it have all the control. My goal is to help you hone the skills needed to find that strength and to help begin writing the story of the life that you have always envisioned for yourself. Using skills from DBT, Attachment Theory, Nervous System Training, and Solution Focused therapy I make it my goal to help people navigate the stressors that come with life whether big or small. My specialties include, but are not limited to: substance use, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and trauma.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by state rather than a city?

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 the entire state. If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near your address.

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 Addiction?

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, Addiction, is filtering therapists in Colorado 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 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.
