Did you just leave a religion, religious group or cult or are in the process of doing so? Maybe you wonder what life without high levels of control might feel like and want to explore your new ideas in a safe space. Navigating a faith crisis or faith transition can be incredibly overwhelming and scary. You’ve been looking for a therapist who specializes in deconstruction, religious trauma, purity culture, shunning and the challenges of mixed-faith relationships, but still haven’t found the right fit. Maybe you’ve been considering therapy for a while but feel too paralyzed with confusion, fear, guilt or shame to reach out.
Imagine being in therapy with me, certain that your views are 100% accepted, and that you don't need to pretend anything. There's probably enough of that in your day-to-day! Plus, psychotherapy's long since left the realm of the nebulous and is considered a quantifiable process, firmly rooted in years of scientific research and evidence-based practice.
Scientist Carl Sagan once said: “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.” Maybe he wasn't just speaking about what's still undiscovered in the far corners of space, but also the amazing things we can discover about ourselves! Instead of calling me, the best way to reach me is by sending a message through the Dr Grisel website 'Contact' tab.

I specialize in helping clients who have decided to leave high demand / high control religions, groups and cults. Some clients started deconstruction, some of them are right smack in the middle of the process, and yet others left years ago and now wish to process what they experienced.

If you are newly secular, this period in your life can be a challenging one, as you navigate a new stance on your former religion, and you figure out how to negotiate family ties and relationships with people who were aligned with how you used to think. You are looking for a safe space to parse this all out without judgement and find your way forward.

I use a number of modalities in therapy. Like all therapists, over the years I have picked a certain number of tools which I prefer using over others, and which I bring out depending on the client and the subjects they wish to tackle. To decide on which ones to use in my practice, I look for sound scientific research supporting its effectiveness (as a research nerd!)
