Hello, I am Jerry Phillips, a licensed mental health therapist. Welcome to our Grow platform. I'm so thankful you reached out for help. My personal and business motto has been for many years, "Helping People Help Themselves". I have two Master degrees; Master of Divinity (M-Div) and Master of Counseling Psychology (MS). I am a U.S. Navy Retired Chaplain, having served 29 years. While on active duty as a Navy Chaplain, I attended a one year school for Pastoral Counseling. Immediately following this, at my next duty station, I began a second masters degree program for Counseling Psychology.

Welcome! Seeking therapy can be intimidating, but you're making the right decision. Having personally navigated the challenges of mental health stigma, I'm acutely attuned to the diverse cultural backgrounds that shape individuals' experiences.

Collaborative Healing Partners believes that our client’s behaviors or presenting concerns will make sense once we understand the context of their behavior or situation. We partner with our clients to better understand their individual situations from their perspective and work to create a roadmap together to help them achieve their short term or long-term goals and begin living a more enriched/purposeful driven life. We specialize in the brief therapy model which seeks to provide our clients with permanent lasting changes in 10 sessions or less per presenting problem thus minimizing endless therapy.

Are you a woman feeling stuck in a place of anxiety or depression? Is fear holding you hostage? Are you feeling helpless as a parent and don't know how to navigate life in a healthy way? Do you feel frustrated in your marriage and can't figure out how to move forward on your own? Do you want someone to hear you and understand? I am passionate about helping people find freedom and discover what it looks like to live a life of joy. In addition to being a counselor, I am also a wife and a mom of four. I long to create a safe and comfortable environment for you to find healing and HOPE!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily obligations? Do you find yourself having difficulty focusing? Maybe you find yourself thinking you’re not good enough or feel like an imposter. I know exactly what you’re feeling: feeling things are out of your control, the tension in your body, the feeling you can’t possibly get everything done without disappointing others and you want relief now. Anxiety can be debilitating, and I don’t want you to have to suffer anymore. Reframing thinking patterns can significantly reduce anxiety, and I look forward to teaching you the strategies that will give you your life back.

A little bit about me: I curtail my treatment approach to the client's needs. We do not all fit a mold. I am goal-oriented and want you to feel you have all the tools you need to effectively handle the curveballs life throws us. My goal is to provide availability outside the typical 9-5 so therapy is more easily accessible. I completed my doctorate degree in clinical psychology with a specialization in neuropsychology and have been licensed for over 10 years. My training is across the lifespan and I have worked in a myriad of settings both inpatient and outpatient. I offer evaluations as well as therapy.

Do you find yourself struggling with feeling heard or being able to be fully present in the moment? Each person deserves the space to be heard, a place where they can be their authentic self.

Maybe you've been recently diagnosed with a long term illness or you've had symptoms for years and you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You know these health struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone…like no one understands. Right now, you may have more questions than answers, but one thing you know for sure is that you’d do anything to get your life back. You grieve for the person you used to be and find it hard to imagine yourself living a worthwhile life with this illness trying to drag you down every chance it gets. (Due to demand, I ONLY accept clients with chronic illness concerns)

I provide a safe environment to foster healing and growth through supporting and empowering you on your personal journey. I have experience in mind and body connection, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, behavioral challenges in children and teenagers, relationship challenges, and substance abuse.
