Fishtown Wellness Center helps individuals and families create, cultivate, and sustain the life they want to live.
Grace is a licensed social worker (License # SW140533) providing individual psychotherapy under the supervision of Katherine Glick (License # 009315). With a background in case management, education, and activism, their approach to therapy is anti-oppressive, relational, and holistic. They aim to be a partner in healing rather than an authority, encouraging you to offer feedback and demystifying the therapeutic process.
Grace welcomes those who may be new to therapy or skeptical about it, and they are committed to discovering with you how to best address your concerns. It’s not unusual to feel hesitant about therapy, and Grace loves when clients admit “I didn’t feel like coming to session today.” With curiosity, they will assist you in discerning whether therapy is right for you, or if you would be better served by another service, healing modality, or provider.
In session with Grace, you can expect compassion, collaboration, and gentle challenging. They will work with you to identify any changes or areas of growth that you would like to address in therapy and will offer feedback and challenge ways of thinking and behaviors that are not serving your goals. Through regular check-ins, they will also invite you to offer feedback about your experience in therapy, and whether there is anything they could be doing differently to address your goals or concerns.
To best help you reach your goals, Grace believes it is important to be flexible and adaptive in the interventions they use. They are informed by a wide array of therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and more. They are trained in EMDR and currently working towards their official certification.
Grace is white, queer, nonbinary, non-monogamous, atheist, and ex-catholic. Outside of being a therapist, they enjoy walking their dog, practicing yoga, and doing karaoke with their friends. They love being outside and everything creative, from crafting to songwriting.
My work as a therapist is rooted in social justice. I believe the mental health issues that we face are often a result of systems of oppression—namely capitalism and white supremacy. I am committed to addressing my personal biases and remaining aware of how my identity and background influence our work together. I am committed to handling with care and honoring the issues of identity & oppression you may bring into session. The state of our world can cause us to feel overwhelmed and despondent, and I hope to share in those feelings with you and address them with compassion.
