Grace Burns(She/Her/Hers)

Grace Burns specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and individuals who have experienced trauma. She has particular expertise in supporting clients navigating emotional regulation challenges, life transitions, and the complex effects of traumatic experiences. Her warm, approachable style makes her especially effective with clients who may feel hesitant about therapy or have had difficult experiences with mental health treatment in the past.

Grace employs an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Her sessions are characterized by a laid-back, person-centered style that prioritizes building genuine trust and connection. She emphasizes practical skill-building, teaching clients effective communication strategies, mindfulness techniques, emotion regulation skills, and healthy coping mechanisms that can be applied in daily life.

With over three years of experience in behavioral health, Grace has developed her clinical expertise primarily through intensive work as an adolescent inpatient psychotherapist. This experience has given her a deep understanding of trauma-informed care and the intricate ways that difficult experiences can impact thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Her background in high-acuity settings has equipped her with the skills to support clients through both crisis moments and long-term healing journeys.

Grace is committed to creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. She believes that self-esteem building and strength-based approaches are essential components of lasting change, and she tailors her interventions to meet each client's unique goals and challenges.
