Hello, I am Grace! I'm a licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience providing evidence-based therapy to clients in need. I earned my Master’s degree in mental health counseling from Nyack College, and have more recently studied forensic psychology in a post graduate program at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Over the years, I've worked in many different clinical settings including: a medical clinic, a scatter site housing program, a mental health clinic, a federal halfway house facility, an outpatient drug treatment program, a reentry housing program, and a medical health insurance company. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with expertise in anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma. I have experience leading clients through various relaxation techniques including deep breathing, guided imagery, mindfulness, and other emotional regulation techniques via anger management training and DBT exercises. Through person-centered counseling, I support and assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives. I pride myself in providing a safe space for clients and working collaboratively with them to help achieve their goals.
