Hello! My name is Ellie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Therapy is a process of self-discovery. My goal for each session is to create a warm, approachable, and safe environment in which clients feel heard, understood, and empowered exploring and addressing issues in therapy, while cultivating self-awareness and healthy coping skills. In my practice, I work to build a caring, authentic, and collaborative client-therapist relationship as I believe fostering and nurturing the therapeutic alliance is the catalyst and essential for achieving and experiencing positive, lasting change in your relationships and life.
Some of my areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, depression and anxiety, adjustment disorders, personality disorders, women’s issues, relationship/marital issues, parent-child conflict, hoarding disorder, PTSD and trauma, self-harm and suicidal ideation, attachment issues, eating disorders, self-esteem and body image issues, and grief and loss.
The therapy process allows clients to identify and reach their goals and aspirations, find more meaning and purpose and effectively cope with challenging emotions, stress, and adversity. I believe in the healing and change that therapy brings people and believe in the power of tapping into the creative and deeper part of self that promotes true growth.

Life can be a lot sometimes. Between work, relationships, family expectations, social pressures, and trying to figure out who you are and where you're headed, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Maybe you're constantly overthinking, struggling to set boundaries, feeling emotionally drained, or wondering why you feel stuck even when everything seems fine on the outside. You might be the person everyone counts on, but rarely give yourself the same care and attention.
I'm Yilian Herrera, a licensed mental health professional, and I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or pretending you have it all figured out. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, build healthier patterns, and create meaningful changes that actually feel right for you.
I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, burnout, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in their own thoughts, or caught in the cycle of putting everyone else first.
You don't have to wait until you hit rock bottom to prioritize your mental health. You deserve a space to work through what's weighing on you, reconnect with yourself, and figure out what moving forward looks like, one step at a time.

Hi there — I’m Madison Long, LCMHC, LPC, TRPCP, NCC , a licensed therapist based in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, and I’m passionate about helping people move from feeling stuck into genuinely living. My training includes trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), child-centered play therapy (CCPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), and perinatal mental health care.
Whether you’re navigating the unique emotional terrain of pregnancy or postpartum, healing from past trauma, or managing the ever-changing demands of parenting and family life, I’m here with you — through the ups, downs, and in-between. I offer virtual therapy so you can meet with me from wherever you are in NC, right when it works for you.
I do this work because I believe growth happens when we feel safe enough to face what we’ve been avoiding, and strong enough to embrace the next step. Not only have I been where many of you are, I’ve also had the privilege to see clients emerge from seasons of pain, parenting chaos, trauma’s shadow, and come into more grounded, more resilient selves — and it is an honor to be part of that process.
If you’re ready to start feeling grounded, nourished, and confident again — I’d be honored to walk beside you.

My counseling approach is characterized by a combination of honesty, empathy, and compassion, complemented by a subtle touch of humor. I employ an eclectic counseling approach that encompasses various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy/Child Centered Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and Solution-Focused therapy.
I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I focus on what works best for each person. I’m committed to adjusting my style to fit each client’s unique needs and challenges.
In my free time, I live for spending quality moments with my two pups and close friends. Additionally, I relish day trips and attending performances featuring Drag Queens. I look forward to the opportunity to provide you with the support you need on your therapeutic journey.

I provide individual and family therapy using a person-centered, collaborative approach that meets you where you are—without judgment and without pressure to be “fixed.” I view therapy as a partnership, and I work alongside clients to support meaningful, sustainable change.
My approach focuses on helping clients identify their strengths, increase self-awareness, recognize support systems, and take accountability in ways that promote growth rather than shame. I use an eclectic, evidence-based framework, drawing from Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-based practices. Interventions are always tailored to each client’s unique needs, goals, and lived experiences.
My work is grounded in a few core beliefs: people are doing the best they can with the skills they have, people are capable of change, and people do get better. I also believe that a strong therapeutic relationship creates the safety necessary for healing and growth.
To support progress outside of sessions, I may offer practical, collaborative between-session exercises that help clients apply skills in their daily lives.
I am a Christian counselor, and my faith informs my values of compassion, dignity, and respect. I work with individuals from all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities, and faith is incorporated into therapy only when requested by the client.
In addition to my professional role, I am a wife, lifelong learner, and mother of three, including a son on the autism spectrum. These experiences deepen my empathy and understanding of caregiving, advocacy, and navigating complex systems.

Does the thought of therapy feel boring and pointless to you? Need someone who can help explain what is going on in you brain, how it impacts you, and practical ways to help deal with your challenges (anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, conflict, anger, addiction, men's issues, etc)?
My name is Taylor, and I offer Neuroscience Informed Therapy that helps you become the meaningful person you desire to be. I am an integrative therapist, and like to use therapies like ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which is the newer wave of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), to help you build a new relationship with your brain, nervous system, and internal world. I love working with adolescents, young adults/adults, and families.
As a Christian and Clinical Therapist, I have a unique capacity to help people who come from a Christian background, as well as those that do not. Spirituality can be very beneficial in therapy, but not everyone wants it to be included. When we begin we can determine what's right for you in your journey.
Let's meet up and see if we are a good fit for therapy! If we are, we will set up good goals, go after them, and when we reach those goals we will transition out of therapy. In general, people do not need therapy for their entire life. So let's figure out what we need to do to help you and go after it.

My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each individual from ages 6 through 50.. I see neurodivergent clients, LGBTQIA+ challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, depression with a holistic approach to healing with psychoeducation on brain-body connection and tools to support the nervous system. As a neurodivergent individual, I am naturally attuned to the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent clients … which leads to greater patience, validation and empathy for my clients.
I draw from science-based therapies to support healing on both emotional and nervous system levels. This may include trauma-focused work, nervous system regulation skills, mindfulness, somatic (body-based) practices, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and practical tools to support everyday life.
Together, we will work at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you. Therapy may focus on processing experiences, building emotional regulation skills, increasing mind-body awareness, strengthening boundaries, and creating healthier patterns that extend beyond the therapy room.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of North Carolina. I received my Masters degree from Arizona State University and have been practicing for over 10 years. I believe that working together in a safe, non-judgmental environment can create space for the healing you deserve.
In my early career I worked with Child Protective Services to support the reunification of children with their biological parents. I then moved to North Carolina to continue work with keeping families together that had suffered trauma and/or behavioral issues. From there, I worked as an individual therapist working with teenagers and adults. During that time, I led groups that focused on education for women who experienced anxiety on a daily basis. Prior to the Grow Therapy platform, I worked to support adults in crisis who needed immediate psychiatric support.

Hello, I am Darrell Patterson
Does your life seem to be dictated by everything around you except for you and the things you want and love about being able to be fully you without shame, guilt or apology?
I assist people with centering or recentering their thoughts around their intentions, their attentiveness and their mindfulness in healthy and helpful ways to live life on a win-win basis. Together, we can identify what is healthy and helpful to your intentions giving you the ability to set a path that is supportive of you and the intentions you have for success in all areas of your life (mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, financially and so on). We will explore a love for your whole self approach to address the areas of yourself that are not currently a welcomed part of the whole.
Whether you are experiencing feelings of being overwhelmed, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to assist you. Seeking therapy can feel uncomfortable but you are making a conscious choice to regain the best version of yourself. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I believe the most important thing about therapy is being compassionate and introducing evidence-based techniques and interventions so you can overcome the adverse experiences that have become hindrances to your intentions for a healthy and happy life. Let's work together to find your win-win path and village.

My name is Jessica Scales and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC # 10501) in North Carolina. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I have been counseling for over 13 years, with children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 18-30) being my specialty areas. I enjoy helping younger children make sense of the world around them and figure out how to navigate the big emotions they experience daily. With adolescents, I feel it is important to make them feel heard and have a safe space to process past or present trauma, peer-related issues, family stressors, and personal changes and emotions. For young adults, it is important for them to have a safe space to explore life transitions and the emotional and mental stressors or effects that may accompany these changes. I believe in working with each individual in a holistic way, considering all areas of their lives: emotional, physical, spiritual, familial support, personal, environmental, financial, and social. I utilize interventions based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing while incorporating play-based care, faith-based care, and Expressive Arts techniques. The counseling space is the space for individuals to feel safe, heard, and able to process any life circumstances, big or small, without judgment and with unconditional positive regard. I intend to create this safe space for healing and each individual's counseling journey.

Hello, I am Chrissy Dingledine. I was born and raised in Ohio and in the past few years I moved to North Carolina. I graduated from the University of Cincinnati with my Master's in Social Work in 2012. I am currently independently licensed in Ohio and North Carolina.
I have had a range of experience from providing crisis and solution focused treatment in a jail setting, providing holistic and solution focused treatment in a medical clinic, and providing care to adolescents in the school setting. Each setting has helped me grow as a provider and a person. One commonality from each experience is that we are all human and we all need support throughout our lives, and there is no shame in this. I am here to provide you with a safe space where you can speak openly and honestly. I want you to feel supported, seen and heard as you share personal details of your life. Together, we will work on finding ways to improve your well-being so you feel more confident in your lifestyle.

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.
