Brandee Grissett

So much of my work is rooted in one question: what happens when we stop trusting ourselves? For me, that question became very personal.

After the birth of my first child, I found myself carrying not only physical pain but a deep sense of disconnection. I was listening to every voice but my own — questioning my body, my instincts, my inner wisdom. It was disorienting in a way I hadn't expected.

With my second child, something shifted. The experience felt empowering, attuned, and deeply mine. I listened inward. I trusted my body. And I witnessed firsthand just how intelligent and wise the body truly is when we feel safe enough to connect with it.

That journey brought me back to something foundational — the body knows. Our minds and bodies are constantly communicating with us. But life has a way of teaching us to override those signals. Trauma, stress, cultural conditioning, the pressure to hold it all together — they all teach us to ignore our inner knowing. Healing, I believe, is often about learning to listen again. It's a homecoming.

My approach is holistic, body-centered, and forward-moving. The challenges that bring most people to therapy — anxiety, burnout, relationship patterns, nervous system overwhelm — aren't flaws. They're how we learned to make it through difficult times. They made sense once.

Our work together is about understanding where they came from and gently building something new.

I integrate somatic techniques, nervous system regulation informed by polyvagal theory, and IFS parts work. We might use breathwork, guided visualization, or body-based awareness tools to help you reconnect with your own inner signals. We explore the past to understand patterns and focus on building presence and creating change that feels authentic to you.

Your first session is about connection and clarity.

We'll talk about what's bringing you in, what feels most heavy right now, and what you hope will feel different. I'll ask questions to understand your history and patterns, but we won't rush into deep work. The goal is simply to build a foundation of safety and direction together.

Most clients leave the first session feeling heard, with a little more clarity and at least one grounding tool to take with them.
