Grace Oakes

Whatever you’re facing in life, you don’t have to face it alone. I will be your expert guide and partner both in tackling practical concerns and in delving into the depths of the issues you’re confronting.

Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, identity or relationship issues, I can help you get to the heart of the issue and move past the places where you feel stuck. You have strength and resources within yourself that you may not fully recognize. Together we can tap into those to support your healing and growth.

My clients describe me as warm, compassionate, affirming and empowering. I create a safe space in which you can explore the issues that brought you to therapy and gain insight into the places in your life where you may feel stuck. I offer practical tools and strategies to get you through the tough times. I believe in your innate capacity to change and grow and will be a trusted guide and companion on your healing journey.

In our first session, I will work to gain an understanding of the issues you are bringing to therapy and what you hope to gain from the experience. I will inquire into your broader life experience and you will have the opportunity to ask about my background, experience, and approach to psychotherapy. Together we will decide on the treatment goals we will work on in future sessions. I aim to create a safe and comfortable environment in which you can take the risk to open up and explore the challenges you have been facing and find the strength and resources you need to heal and grow.
