Getting to know Jerry Phillips
Hello, I am Jerry Phillips, a licensed mental health therapist. Welcome to our Grow platform.
You can read more about my background, education, experience and therapy approach below.
I'm so thankful you reached out for help. My personal and business motto has been for many years, Helping People Help Themselves. This is also my goal with each client. I recognize that most people do not need to be fixed. Rather they need to be heard and understood. By listening and attempting to understand, I am often able to help guide people to real solutions for their personal issues. It will be a privilege to assist you exploring the concerns you discuss.
Background: 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.This helped me become a much better Chaplain.
I also received extensive training at the US Navy's Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Center and then conducted alcohol and drug counseling with military members. Three years after this degree program I was licensed in the State of Florida (my home) as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). After retiring from the US Navy, I established the Upper Room Counseling Center, serving people in the Central Florida area. During this time I specialized in Anxiety disorders, Grief counseling and Addictions. I have had the opportunity to help many people mature as individuals and recover from their addictions. Today I continue helping people through Grow Counseling Telehealth.
To access our live, face to face session, you will need to either a computer, tablet or smartphone with a working camera and audio.
What should a new client know about working with you?
One of our biggest needs is to be both heard and understood. All too often others are not listening and therefore are unable to understand. In our sessions together I promise to Listen and try to understand what you are saying. If I misunderstand, you have permission to let me know and to help me better understand. Through this I will be able to encourage you and offer direction leading to solutions. This is a combination of both person centered and solution based therapy, helping you help yourself.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
