Getting to know Terri Graves

Hi there, I'm Terri! My name is Terri Graves, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I am a traditional talk therapist and have learned some helpful things, but if you are looking for something different, we work together to find something in therapy that will work for you. **My approach** My training is in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which allows us to find the tools for your toolbox and work on a start for your new healing process. **My focus** As a therapist, I view my job as working alongside my clients—never pushing them into a place they are not ready to observe, sitting with them through all the tough times, and cherishing all the successes of therapy. **My communication style** I have been known to have a calming speech pattern. In my therapy environment, I work with empathy and compassion. **My journey to mental healthcare** I am passionate about my education and learning what I need to help my clients. I received my bachelor's in psychology from Holy Names University in Oakland, CA, and a master's in counseling psychology from John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill, CA, focusing on Marriage and Family Therapy. **My goals for you** My approach to setting goals with clients is to listen carefully and work together on goals that will support your success in the therapy journey. **My first session with you** I help clients feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. We cover informed consent to counseling, role induction, discuss expectations, and explore the pros and cons of any previous therapy experience, which may inform how we work together now. I start building the alliance and help you see if I am a good fit. I hear your story so you feel understood and validated and continue doing so until your sessions are successful.
