Trisha Graves
I'm a Native Hawaiian living in Northern California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from San José State University. I have worked extensively with trauma, stress, family conflict, depression, anxiety, school-related challenges, and organization and life skills.
My specialty has become working with teens and young adults who are struggling with the long term effects of trauma and low self-esteem.
I primarily work with adolescents and young adults struggling with trauma and low self esteem. I have been in the field of social services for 25+ years.
First session
My goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where we can work together to develop healthy coping skills, build resilience, and navigate whatever challenges you're facing. I look forward to the opportunity to support you in creating a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with your goals.
Strengths
I believe therapy should be centered around what matters most to you, and I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs and goals. My areas of specialization include somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based work, polyvagal-informed therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Ideal clients
I work primarily with teens and young adults who struggle with relationships, self-esteem, family conflict, depression, anxiety, having difficulty with school, as well as people who may be suicidal or who self-harm. My work with clients is focused on what they want to work on and what is most important to them. I feel it is a privilege to work and gain the trust of my clients to support them to a happier, more successful life. I look forward to having an opportunity to work with you.
