Gracemarie Fong Louis, LCAT

Psychotherapist
NY
Professional Philosophy In my past life, I was a graphic designer for various magazines where communicating brand identity creatively to the audience was key-but not as fulfilling as guiding someone to their own sense of self instead of manipulating or selling a product. Now, I work with children, teens, and young adults to discover their own self-expression and identity. In therapy, my number one concern is creating a safe space for my clients to express themselves, whether it's through art therapy, talk therapy, or maybe a little of both! I have found that once my clients feel comfortable and supported by me, they begin making exciting strides in their awareness of themselves and, thus, make important changes to enhance their quality of life. My goal is to guide clients through their journey of self-discovery and help them gather the tools suited to their personality to successfully address life's challenges. Personal Background Creativity was always encouraged and nurtured in me as a child. Growing up, I also became aware that I am culturally different from others. I know firsthand that in some cultures, mental health is not a popular subject in the community. Because of my experiences, I have always been mindful of how our cultural upbringing influences the person we ultimately become. I strive to honor each client's individuality while providing the education and support they need to strive to be better versions of themselves. That belief has strongly influenced my practice, making it a point to allow my clients to be their authentic selves while working toward their goals and needs. I earned my Master's in Art Therapy from the College of New Rochelle, which has deeply informed my approach to integrating creativity and therapeutic techniques in my work.
