For Clients Taking Psychiatric Medication
Grace welcomes clients who utilize prescribed psychiatric medications to assist in managing their mental health symptoms. Grace will work directly with your psychiatrist or prescribing physician, as appropriate, to provide a collaborative approach to comprehensive mental health care.
Grace does not provide alternative therapies or certain types of holistic therapy that lack scientific support. She is a strong believer in the application of skilled techniques, and prefers measurable goals, clear progress, and completed work. It is a disservice to the client to provide unsupported psychotherapy techniques, especially while the client is acutely symptomatic.
