The Benefits of Therapy

Therapy with Grace understand that one of the biggest advantages of therapy is the safe and non-judgmental environment it provides. When discussing sensitive issues, talking to friends or family can feel daunting. At Therapy with Grace, you can express yourself freely allowing you to get to the root cause of what is bothering you and how to fix it quicker. For example, a 2018 study revealed that 75% of people reported experiencing significant improvements after just a few sessions, attributing this healing to the safe space therapy creates.
2. Helps Break Negative Patterns
At Therapy with Grace, we understand many individuals find themselves trapped in negative thinking or behavior patterns. These cycles can be tough to break, often without us realizing their impact on our lives. Therapy with Grace helps uncover and analyze these patterns. By doing this, you can achieve a dramatic reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Therapy with Grace helps client beat their big inner critic and take back control of their emotions leading them to live a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Debunking Common Misconceptions
“I’m Not Crazy, So I Don’t Need Therapy”
A common myth is that therapy is only for those with severe mental illness. In truth, anyone can benefit from the insights gained in therapy, even those who seem to have everything together. In fact, at Therapy with Grace we found that 1 in 3 adults seek therapy for issues like relationship problems or work-related stress.

Therapy with Grace accepts Debit / Credit Card, Cash, Zelle, Apple or Android Pay and Health Savings Accounts to pay for services. Flexible Spending Accounts & Medical Savings Account plans can also be used to receive reimbursement for services depending on your insurance plan. Therapy with Grace is private pay, which means we don't accept insurance. However, your plan may include out-of-network benefits that partially reimburse fees for my services. I suggest contacting your insurance company to confirm the benefits that you may be eligible to receive.
