Grace Szeja
Greetings, I am glad you are here today. My name is Grace and I have been a clinical social worker for more then 10 years. I use the pronouns her/she. My clinical experience began in a hospital setting, where I worked with a variety of people (age 5 to 90) with an equally vast range of issues and disorders.
I come from a background in art/film/comics and know firsthand how valuable the nonverbal approach to expressing oneself truly is.
Working from a client-centered approach, I utilize many expressive creative art therapies, including zendoodle, zen journal, drawing, painting, clay (and more), alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practices (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Practices (DBT). I am always excited to incorporate ecotherapy in a session! I believe that therapy is for anyone who would like to develop new thought patterns, increase their healthy coping skill, discard your old beliefs about themselves, and gain awareness of your internal and external resources.
First session
During the first session, I like to use this time to get to know you and what you have been struggling with and see what I can do to help. If the times I have available don't work for you, shoot me a message. I am pretty open and want to be flexible to offer a time that accommodates you. :)
Strengths
I myself am neurodivergent; that is my superpower. I come from a background in art/film/comics and know firsthand how valuable the nonverbal approach to expressing oneself truly is.
Treatment methods
Integrative
I use a variety of theoretical and creative approaches and will customize a session to fit your needs.
