Not a One-Size Fits All Approach
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Grace believes it should be tailored to each individual's unique therapeutic needs and the specific challenges they are facing. If therapy hasn't worked for you in the past, it doesn't mean there is something “wrong with you”. It likely that you didn't have the right therapy modality or therapist that aligns with your specific needs. Our clinician Grace Shivka offers a wide range of therapy modalities while utilizing an eclectic approach to ensure each client is supported on their journey to wellbeing.

Helping You Invest in Your Relationship with Yourself.
We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can sometimes neglect our relationships with ourselves. Let Grace be your advocate and show you a kinder, gentler way to treat the most important person in your life.
At our therapy practice, our clinicians believe in the power of self-care and self-compassion. Our mission is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, heal from past experiences, and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. Through our therapeutic approach, we aim to empower you to prioritize self-care and develop a kinder, gentler relationship with yourself. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
