Titi Grant
Welcome! I’m Titi Grant, a dual board-certified nurse practitioner with more than 20 years of nursing experience and over eight years of experience as a nurse practitioner. I provide compassionate, individualized mental health care for adolescents and adults across different stages of life. My approach is centered on seeing the person, not simply the diagnosis. I take time to listen, understand what you are experiencing, and explore the different factors that may be affecting your mental and emotional well-being. My medical background also allows me to consider the connection between mental and physical health when it is relevant to your care.
Beyond my dedication to my family (married to a wonderful man and blessed with 4 lovely children), I find joy in exploring the world, having visited 5 continents!
I believe treatment should be collaborative. Rather than telling you what you “should” do, I want you to understand your options, ask questions, and have an active voice in your treatment. Together, we can develop an evidence-based plan that fits your individual needs, goals, and life circumstances. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is watching people begin to feel like themselves again, sometimes after struggling for years. I am passionate about reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and creating a space where seeking help feels comfortable and empowering. Outside of my practice, I’m a wife and mother of four teenagers and an avid traveler. I’ve had the opportunity to visit five continents and hope to eventually explore all seven. These experiences have strengthened my appreciation for different people, cultures, perspectives, and life experiences. Whether you are seeking mental health care for the first time, restarting treatment, or looking for a provider who will truly listen, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.
First session
Clients can expect a focus on getting to know them and understanding their needs. The main focus of the first session, getting their mental health history, current symptoms, any medical history, social history. Based on the assessment, we would collaboratively discuss their goal for treatment and what improvement they hope to achieve. I hope to discussed potential treatments tailored to their needs, which might include talk therapy. I hope to discuss pros and cons of each options and answer any questions they might have. Finally, schedule a date to evaluate how treatment has been going since first our first session.
Strengths
What sets my approach apart is the combination of compassion, medical and psychiatric expertise, and my ability to connect with people across different stages of life. I care for individuals ranging from young adolescents navigating their first mental health challenges to mature adults facing changes in mood, relationships, health, and life circumstances. My medical background gives me a broader clinical lens, whether or not a client has an underlying medical condition. I understand that mental health does not exist in isolation. Sleep, medications, physical health, hormones, stress, relationships, family dynamics, and life experiences can all influence how a person feels and functions. I take the time to look beyond the diagnosis and understand the whole person. I also recognize that no two people experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or mood concerns in exactly the same way. Rather than simply treating symptoms or prescribing medication, I work collaboratively with each client to understand what may be contributing to their struggles and develop an individualized, evidence-based plan that fits their needs, preferences, and stage of life. Most importantly, I want my clients to feel heard rather than judged or rushed. Whether I am working with an adolescent and their family or an adult who has struggled for years, my goal is the same: to create a trusting partnership where clients understand their treatment, have a voice in their care, and leave feeling that there is a realistic path forward.
Ideal clients
The mental health population I especially love to serve encompasses individuals struggling with a broad range of conditions. This includes those grappling with depression, anxiety, and ADHD, but also extends to those experiencing panic attacks, PTSD, OCD, and binge eating. Witnessing the unique challenges each person faces motivates me. There's immense joy in empowering them with tools for self-compassion and helping them find relief from their struggles, whether it's managing emotional states, reducing anxious thoughts, gaining control over focus, or overcoming overwhelming compulsions. It's an honor to walk alongside them as they navigate their mental health journey and ultimately improve their quality of life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that can help you manage negative thoughts and emotions that contribute to problems in your daily life. I use this therapy treatment by first collaborating with the patient and identifying unhelpful thinking patterns. Next, I challenge and help patients reframe negative thoughts. Together we developed realistic coping skills.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy is a type of psychotherapy that combines mindfulness meditation practices with traditional talk therapy techniques. I use this to aim to increase patients' awareness of their present moment experiences, thoughts, and feelings without judgment. By cultivating this present moment awareness, patients can learn to detach from unhelpful thought patterns and emotional responses, ultimately reducing stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. I used this therapy by practicing mindful breathing, body scan meditation, mindful movement.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
As a PMHNP, I integrate DBT into my practice by: • Individual Therapy: Prioritizing the therapeutic relationship, addressing immediate crises, and teaching skills. • Skills Training: I conduct sessions to teach mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. • Phone Coaching: I offer immediate support and guidance during crises and reinforce skill use. Additionally • I integrate DBT with medication management. • Tailor DBT to individual needs and cultural backgrounds. • Collaborate with other healthcare providers if and when needed. By incorporating DBT into my practice, I provide comprehensive and effective care for clients with complex mental health needs.
