Hi! I’m Yanique Grant and I thank you in advance for considering me to be your personal therapist, it is not a title that I take lightly. Choosing a therapist can be a very difficult decision and there are many factors that go into this significant choice. Let me help you make your decision by telling you a little about myself:
I am a fun loving person who enjoys to laugh and I am empathetic. I can promise you that working with me will not only be a comforting experience but also a joyful one. We will share laughter, tears, and every emotion in between. I am here to walk with you every step of the way and to assist you in a genuinely empathetic way. I want to be able to build a trusting relationship because I believe in healing and defying the odds. Often time societal standards places so much stress on us to be perfect and to attain “certain things” by “certain times”. This can lead to feelings of hopelessness and stress. Let’s throw out society’s standards and create our own for your life! I believe wholeheartedly that you are the author of your own life and that no one holds the pen but you.
As an LCSW, I have been working in the field of mental health and trauma since 2009. This includes individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and also intensive outpatient treatments. During my time in this field I have worked both with children as well as adults. I have experience working with families and individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds and pride myself on being able to identify with them in various ways.
My practice specializes in treating complex trauma, and more specifically, racial trauma as well as post-traumatic stress, and the effects that it has on various communities. My aim is to look at the person as a whole, to better assist with piecing together the various aspects of your life. I am well versed in various therapeutic models and work with clients of all backgrounds who are seeking to develop a deeper understanding of their identity as it relates to the complexity of race, culture, and ethnicity. Through the use of evidenced- based therapeutic interventions, my aspiration is to assist you in uncovering your full potential by helping you to heal, cope, and understand yourself better.
