Therapist, LCSW, QS, RCSWI, MSW, MCAP
You've been holding it together for your job, your relationships, and your family. But when was the last time someone checked on you? At Elevating Growth, we work with high-functioning adults, college students, young professionals, and high-achieving women and men who are quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, stress, and the weight of life transitions. You might look fine on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or just… stuck. We get it and we've built a space where you don't have to explain yourself.

Debbie Cherry
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
After 25 years as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA, TX & FL. I know conflict is not the problem. Conflict is natural in close relationships. What matters most is HOW couples talk to each other when emotions run high. That’s why I created the research-based Happily Partnered Playbook — to help couples end negative cycles and grow closer.

Dr. Max Hurley-Dorof
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy through secure telehealth. My style is warm, collaborative, and engaged. I work to create a space where clients can speak openly, feel understood, and examine difficult experiences without judgment.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic and relational therapy, which means that we pay attention to the experiences and relationship patterns shaping your present life. I also incorporate practical strategies from other approaches when they can help.
I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, identity development, grief, social adversity, and major life transitions. I welcome clients of all identities and have particular experience working with LGBTQ+ folks, college students and young adults, older adults, and Veterans.

Dr. Le’ Isaac Gardner Msc.D. CTHT ORDM
Hypnotherapist, Doctorate in Metaphysical Science, MSc.D. Clinical and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist CTHT
As a client of mine, you will reclaim your life by focusing on pulling your issues from the root so that they never occur again. I will walk you back to wholeness and health, leaving things such as the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, motivation, and family and relationship issues in the past. I also use the wonderful powers of your mind, body, and spirit to enhance your memory, sports performance, optimism, spirituality, ability to focus and more.
I use a number of different modalities of hypnotherapy and metaphysics to bring my clients into a oneness with their desired goal. Eye Movement Therapy, Chakra balance and alignment, energy healing, and regression all come together to make a powerful, transformative treatment for any client.
It's now time to reclaim your life. As an ordained minister, I can say that It is very important to not only address an issue but to most importantly eliminate the cause. Let's begin!
