Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hi there! My name is Grace. I am a Clinical Social Worker based in the Western PA region at our Fox Chapel clinic. I’m trained through a holistic social work lens, which means that I see people as more than just what meets the eye and enjoy learning about clients whole-heartedly. I don’t subscribe to one therapeutic approach, but rather focus on using aspects from various modalities such as Humanistic Psychotherapy, Positive Psychology, and Trauma-Informed Practice. I focus on encouraging a Growth Mindset and building a trusting rapport in the therapeutic relationship. If this sounds like the approach you’re looking for, we’ll be a good fit!
My goal as a therapist is to promote self-awareness and self-growth through personal development and a trusting client-therapist relationship. I understand the impact that trauma and stress can have on a person and am motivated to work through these experiences with you. I hope that you can feel comfortable opening up to me and having a safe space to talk.
I like the phrase that “change starts from within”. I find joy and motivation from working with people who are willing to work on goals that we establish together, and who are also motivated to look within themselves for the answers they might be seeking. I am excited about working with you on your journey to wellness!
