My counseling experience at Grow truly changed my life, and without it, I would not be the person I am today. Before I started counseling, I was someone who had no direction and did not know what the future had in store for me as my emotions clouded my judgment. I made decisions that I could not take back and felt there was no way for me to escape the eternal abyss I felt I was falling into. If it was not for Grow, I would have continued to live without purpose and feel like I would have no meaning in my life. If there was one person I could thank for helping me get to the position I am in now, it my therapist at Grow Wellness Group. My sessions with my counselor showed me the world in an entirely different lens as I learned more about myself, different social environments, cultures, and family dynamics. Moreover, she helped me keep my anxiety under control and helped me work through my depressive thoughts. However, my therapist, like any other therapist, is not an end-all solution to what we face as humans. We must first be willing to open ourselves up and be willing to try new things and perspectives as therapy provides the map of sorts to help show us the way through our journey of life. Opening myself up and being vulnerable was one of the best decisions I have ever made because I could see the change in who I was/am and how emotionally strong I had become since receiving counseling at Grow. Every session is the highlight of my week because it was an hour where I could escape my own thoughts or whatever I was dealing with, and find a way to handle it when I left. My counselor has become a trusted confidant and a major source of wisdom, and I am proud to say that I have been seeing her. I highly recommend Grow and their group of counselors on staff. My Grow experience has been life-altering. I have felt deeply cared for, prepared for, and held accountable to achieving my personal life goals. I struggled with depression and anxiety for many years and went through many other counselors. Through my work at Grow, I am on a path I am content with and committed to, and I know if I waver, I will have my counselor, who I feel a strong connection with, to keep me accountable. I can’t say enough about the group of people I have interacted with at Grow in various capacities, and would highly recommend them to anyone struggling within themselves and considering counseling
