Getting to know Grace Watkins

With more than 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I help everyday people, including children and adults, navigate trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, and anger. Beyond these specialties, I also work with a range of other disorders to best meet your needs. In our work together, I bring compassion, honesty, trust, partnership, and a belief in your own capacity for self-efficacy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

DISCLAIMER: We are not accepting Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time. I've always been empathetic, and fell in love with psychology during my freshman year of college. Growing up in Brooklyn, I saw many people who seemed to make the same dangerous mistakes, leading to drugs, violence, jail, or death. Those questions have stayed with me ever since: how did they get there? Why did they make those decisions? I bring that same investigative curiosity to my work with you today.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard guide how I show up for you, creating a supportive space where we can do this work together. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and schema therapy to help you feel heard, better understand your own thoughts and emotions, and build new coping skills.
