If you’ve been carrying the weight of past trauma, living with constant anxiety, or trying to cope with the stress of chronic health challenges, life can feel overwhelming. At Grateful Insights, our role is to help you make sense of what may be holding you back, build on your strengths, and make sustainable changes with a straightforward, practical approach. Gissa brings over 15 years of professional experience and specialized clinical expertise, while AynMarie offers collaborative, reduced-rate individual therapy for adults under clinical supervision.
Our role is to build on your strengths through evidence-based care, including CBT. Gissa offers individual and couples therapy for trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and health stress using EMDR and CPT. AynMarie supports adults with trauma, anxiety, relationships, life transitions, post-ketamine meaning-making, and sex-positive concerns.
We look forward to speaking with you about how we may be able to help. Whether it's your first time seeking therapy or you're returning after a break, we'll guide you in the right direction. If you don’t see a time that works for you, feel free to reach out — we are happy to find a time that fits your schedule.
