Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

Trauma impacts us in ways we can’t imagine. It affects human development and rewires our brain. I remember seeing the impact trauma from childhood had for my adult clients. I remember seeing elementary school children and the impact trauma has on their ability to develop healthy relationships. Processing trauma isn’t something you need to do alone. I can still remember meeting with a teen girl and seeing her relief after processing her trauma and expressing how much better she felt. Working through trauma allows my clients to feel relief and feel a decrease in their daily triggers.

What if your own worst thoughts weren't the enemy? What if nothing needs to be removed? My ideal client is someone who is working through some of the hardest phases of their life, someone who might be: going through a faith transition - receiving a new diagnosis - losing a job - suffering due to trauma - parenting a child with a disability - managing increasing anxiety or depression. I want to help increase the amount of space you have to live in. Often when our worlds crumble apart, it feels like we are confined to these small, unlivable corners. My goal is to help expand those spaces so you can move towards what matters.

(Biofeedback and Neurobiofeedback see profile for details.)
I have been a clinican since 1973. It is through this depth of experience I have come to realize that we are all just innocent beings who, through conditioning, forgot who we truly are - perfect, loving, and whole.
Therapy then becomes a process of remembrance and realignment with our true Self.
Marci R Grayson
Counselor, MA, LMHC

Go beyond managing your life and give yourself permission to live your possibilities and finally choose to be true to you. Everyone is seeking a change or a way to fix what they think is broken. Then there's you, where you are right now is not fulfilling, you don't want to have things fall apart, you feel stuck, and you are not sure where to begin. You are no longer comfortable with the discomfort. You want to feel good being you. You're someone who knows there is more to do, to experience to accomplish. You're seeking the next logical steps to live the one of a kind life you are meant for, on your own terms.

ATTENTION PARENTS WHOSE CHILD IS STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, OR INTERPERSONAL ISSUES (AT SCHOOL OR AT HOME): You have a teenager who needs someone to talk to, but you aren’t sure who they will feel comfortable with. When your child shares their challenging experiences, you want someone who can RELATE. You’re looking for someone who has lived what your child is facing, and who MADE IT THROUGH. Someone who has a shared understanding of the struggles of school, someone who can provide support and empathy, and someone who has already learned to manage and conquer what your adolescent is feeling.

Marsha Farias
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMHCA, Intern
Verified
People seek psychotherapy for different reasons. Sometimes they want to solve a specific problem produced by difficult circumstances; sometimes they want relief from feelings of general unhappiness and anxiety; other times they want to make a change, to feel less stuck, less depressed and more hopeful. Asking for help is the first important step. It gives substance to our desire for change and makes concrete our wish to feel better. This very act of asking says that we feel entitled to support and serious consideration.
Elizabeth Heinhuis
Counselor, LMHC
Verified
There are many reason why you find yourself seeking therapy at this time, however, I imagine a consistent theme may be the desire to begin building the life and relationships you desire. Therapy is one of the few spaces in which insightful, thought-provoking connections can thrive; allowing room for new understanding, fostering growth and healing past wounds. Ultimately, providing the necessary space and time to heal. While I build my practice from many schools of therapeutic technique, I truly believe the relationship between client and therapist is the most important piece of the counseling experience and the healing process.
