Chantierra Grant LPC-Associate, Supervised by Tia Jennings- MA LPC-S

You have the strength to try, you made the will to seek therapy and you have accepted that doing it by yourself probably isn’t the best option. But most importantly, by reading this, you took the first step in realizing that you are ready to start your therapeutic journey.

I believe that clients develop their patterns of thinking and behaving through life experiences, childhood and through their natural instincts. To approach these patterns of thinking and behavior, I believe we have to start with the way we are processing our thoughts as different things happen to you. Changing the way we think can ultimately change our lifestyle and as we know mental health is not just a journey but a lifestyle. 

I am open, an active listener and like to challenge those I work with. I create a space where you can openly express yourself so I can learn your thinking patterns and be able to bring light to things that you may not have been able to see on your own. I am certified in suicide prevention and trauma informed care. In addition to plenty of skills in counseling. The methods I prefer to use are Internal Family Systems (IFS) which focuses on different parts of our sense of self and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on the breakdown of engrained thoughts in order to modify behaviors. These methods stick to me because they drive my practice. I believe challenging our thinking and thoughts of ourselves can ultimately change our wellbeing.
