Grace Bryan

My practice specializes in help young women and queer individuals struggling with people-pleasing, confidence issues, and boundaries within family and intimate relationships. I love to help my clients find their voice, learn to listen to their emotions without being ruled by them, and enact healthier boundaries that reflect their worth and values. I also specialize in play and expressive art therapy for children and adolescents. My style is warm and non-judgemental in its foundation, but direct and evidence-based.

Outside of the office, I love thrifting, interior design and decorating, cooking, baking, hiking, traveling, and spending time with our two dogs.

My approach is rooted in person-centered philosophy and positive psychology, while drawing from evidence-based tools from DBT, CBT, and ACT. My goal for therapy is focused more on personal growth instead of symptom reduction, as I try to emphasize each client as a whole person and not a diagnosis.

In our first session, we will first explore the challenges that brought you to therapy, and what sort of therapy you are looking for. We will then do a more thorough exploration, at your pace, of your life up to this point, with a focus on what you feel is relevant for me to know. What you share is completely up to you.
