About me

Hi, I’m Chioko Juliette Grevious, LMFT, MPH. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My approach blends narrative therapy, somatic practices, and culturally responsive care to help clients heal from trauma, navigate life transitions, and reconnect with their authentic selves. I create a safe and collaborative space where you can feel seen, supported, heard, and empowered to make meaningful changes.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, my goal is to create a warm, welcoming, and grounding space. We’ll start by checking in and helping you settle in. From there, I’ll invite you to share what’s bringing you to therapy, your hopes and goals, and any important background or previous therapy experiences. You can go at your own pace; there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready. Together, we’ll begin clarifying what you’d like to work on, explore how my approach might fit your needs, and set some initial goals. Most importantly, the first session is about building trust and connection so you leave feeling heard, respected, and with a clear sense of how we can move forward together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients often tell me that what feels different about working with me is the way I blend evidence-based methods with cultural and body-based practices. I integrate narrative therapy, person-centered and humanistic approaches, relational-cultural theory, liberation psychology, and somatic practices. This means we don’t just talk about problems — we examine the stories, environments, and sensations that shape your experience, and we utilize mindfulness and grounding tools to help you feel safe while exploring them. Another part of my work is cultural humility and social justice awareness. I hold space for your entire identity and life context, honoring your lived experiences and strengths as we address challenges. As a result, clients often report feeling seen, empowered, and more connected to themselves — not only gaining coping skills but also experiencing deeper self-acceptance, stronger boundaries, and a renewed sense of agency and joy.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with motivated adults who are curious about themselves and on the journey of self-exploration. Together, we explore how family stories, intergenerational patterns, and cultural identity shape who you are today. I’m especially passionate about supporting people from marginalized communities — Black, Brown, Indigenous, other people of color, and LGBTQIA+ clients — in reclaiming their emotional well-being. I believe that when one of us invests in healing, the entire community benefits.

My treatment methods

Humanistic

I am a person-centered/humanistic therapist, which means I focus on who the therapy participant is now and who the therapy participant is striving to be. I work with adults who are longing to understand how the individual and family narratives and life experiences are important to understanding themselves. My goal is to make therapy participants feel seen, heard and understood.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Providing care for those whose identities and culture are not of the majority collective is something I am passionate about. I provide culturally responsive therapy that recognizes that groups and human beings have been placed in disadvantaged communities, by design. I seek to support folks who have experienced intergenerational trauma, race-based stress and trauma, life’s pressures, social injustices, and who are in a transitional space and are requesting a listening ear.

Racial trauma treatment

Experiences of race-based discrimination can have horrible impacts on individuals and their communities. In some cases, long term experiences of racism can lead to symptoms like those who have experienced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which looks like depression, anger, recurring thoughts of the event, physical reactions (e.g. headaches, chest pains, insomnia), hypervigilance, low-self-esteem, and mentally distancing from the traumatic events. In my practice, it is safe to talk about this and to know that you are validated in the experience. Being seen and heard is important when healing and coping.

I love every single session I have with Chioko! They only let me choose two things about her therapy style but truly on top of being warm and authentic, she’s so empowering, direct, humorous, and open minded! I genuinely feel like I can tell her things without judgment while still trusting that she will give me the objective feedback that I need to grow. There’s such a beautiful sincerity about her therapy style that makes every session effortless 🫶🏾
