Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Last Updated 30+ days ago

Hi! I'm Grace Polanco, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I specialize in working with adults and young adults experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, eating disorders, and addictions. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques based on your particular needs to help you feel empowered to guide your own healing and life goals.

My therapy technique is based on a humanistic approach, which is a focus on seeing the world through your eyes to foster growth, and resilience. You are the expert of your life, and my approach is to nurture that truth. I often reflect on the dimensions of wellness in session, and will utilize tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Sessions are currently being offered via teletherapy.
