Grow Wellness Group

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.

My family has been seeing a couple counselors at Grow for over a year. We have been thoroughly impressed and pleasantly surprised by the outstanding quality of care this group provides compared to many other counseling practices we have tried in the area. Collaboration between the counselors is evident, which has made our experience so much more productive. The office environment is beautiful as well - it is wonderfully designed, relaxing and welcoming. I have recommended Grow to countless friends and colleagues. Very much gratitude for this wonderful group of counselors. They have done a fabulous job taking care of us.

I would highly recommend Grow Wellness Group for your therapy and counseling needs. I have received services at Grow for well over a year, and could not speak more highly of their counseling team, and how easy the entire counseling process has been from the day I began seeing my counselor at Grow, where I work through individual, marriage and parenting related challenges. The care I feel I receive that has been a huge improvement compared to my experience with larger counseling groups with significant turnover and lots of billing issues - I felt like a number and not a patient. Grow clearly has a tight team who mesh well. Lastly, the office space could not be more relaxing and comfortable. Kudos to their designer.

The years of experience and wide-ranging expertise of the team at Grow has been a great resource for myself and my family. We all have experienced tremendous progress with our experience working with Grow Wellness, and give them and their practice the highest recommendation.

Counseling at Grow is the only counseling experience that has ever worked for me. When I came to see my counselor, I was suicidal and very disenchanted with the mental health community. I didn't think there was any way for me to ever feel happy, let alone feel happy because of therapy, a practice which had never helped me in the past. Thank God I found Grow Therapy & Wellness Group in Naperville, who offered an approach to therapy that didn't rely on medication, meditation, or a combination of the two. Grow helped me build up my self-esteem and work through years' worth of personal issues and helped me readjust my way of thinking, giving me a new worldview and a new logic that made it so much easier to cope with my anxiety and depressive thoughts. I walked into my counselor's office a troubled teenager that was convinced I could poke holes in anything he threw at me and walked out pleasantly surprised that I'd failed. If you are an over-thinker, if you are convinced that no therapy will work on you, and, most importantly, if you secretly desperately want to get better, then Grow can help you. I have no idea where I would be without this therapy, which I credit to saving my life.

I remember that the first time that I walked into the Grow office, I was in a pretty bleak and vulnerable condition. I had been dealing with depression and anxiety on my own for a long time. Leaving my counselor's office that night, however, I knew that he could help me. The way he listened attentively to everything I had to say and his amiable character were very comforting for me. Soon after that, he became a person I could trust with anything, and above all, I could easily tell that he really cared about his patients. He treated my problems as his own, and he was very understanding and sensitive when dealing with them. I know that my counselor cares about his patients because he goes out of his way to keep communication outside of appointments, and he has even visited me at work. Additionally, I became very close with my counselor at Grow because he shared a lot of personal experiences that he felt related to my circumstances. His sharing of experiences provided insight for my situations, and they also made our relationship stronger. My counselor is phenomenal at what he does because he loves his job, and I have no idea what condition I would be in if my mom had not set me up with him. What I have come to realize during my time with him is that he has become more than a therapist to me - I know he sincerely cares about my well-being. I am certain that we will remain in touch long after I leave the area for college.

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 is him. 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 fatherly figure, and I am proud to say that I have been seeing her. I highly recommend Grow and their group of counselors on staff.
