Grace Oakes
Whatever you’re facing in life, you don’t have to face it alone. I will be your expert guide and partner both in tackling practical concerns and in delving into the depths of the issues you’re confronting. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, identity or relationship issues, I can help you get to the heart of the issue and move past the places where you feel stuck. You have strength and resources within yourself that you may not fully recognize. Together we can tap into those to support your healing and growth.
Additionally I blend elements of dialectical behavior therapy, narrative therapy, and solution focused therapy into my work.
First session
In our first session, I will work to gain an understanding of the issues you are bringing to therapy and what you hope to gain from the experience. I will inquire into your broader life experience and you will have the opportunity to ask about my background, experience, and approach to psychotherapy. Together we will decide on the treatment goals we will work on in future sessions.
Strengths
I have over three decades of experience in the mental health field. I create a safe space for you to explore your issues and feel your feelings. I am not afraid of or intimidated by big emotions.
