Getting to know Grayson Thompson
Therapy is an act of activism—liberating ourselves through improved mental health is powerful, political work. Exploring our bodies and identities in the context of how we relate to the world and how the world relates to us is a brave, deeply human journey. I’m honored you’ve arrived here, ready to start or continue your healing process.
My approach
My approach is client-centered (what works for you), relational (how you connect and feel connected to others), and integrative (draws on various techniques). I support clients in exploring and identifying unhelpful patterns and behaviors, establishing limits, and identifying and navigating choice to find a sense of stability in their lives.
My focus
I provide compassionate support for individuals facing various mental health challenges, specializing in BIPOC, Queer, and single/partnered clients. My expertise includes gender-affirming care, couples therapy, trauma recovery, and identity development, as well as supporting people impacted by systems (foster care, CPS, court diversion).
My communication style
Sometimes we'll get into it, I'll be pointing at some of the deep and vulnerable parts to promote change - and sometimes we'll redirect to more macro challenges. I am honest, and I will never judge you for using the skills you learned to survive for as long as you did. Let's work on some new skills and approaches together. I'm so glad you got here.
My journey to mental healthcare
I transitioned into therapy after a career in education, corporate, and nonprofit sectors, where I witnessed the impact of trauma on individuals from all walks of life. I sought to understand how we can reconnect with our bodies to heal and recover from survival. How do we move toward life beyond hardship?
My goals for you
I am a collaborative therapist. I believe in co-creating goals that are measurable, accessible, and flexible. Goals are often created from a black and white place, which can promote feelings of failure or "not enough".
