Damira Grady, Ph.D., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
I’m here to offer a compassionate and safe space where you can explore and work through life’s challenges. I believe that everyone deserves care that addresses their needs and honors their unique cultural experiences. With a strong commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice, I’m passionate about helping people find healing through trauma-informed care, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), harm reduction, and restorative justice.
Here’s what you can count on from me:
- Integrity: I’m all about being real and doing the work honestly and transparently.
- Compassion: I genuinely care about the people I work with and want to help them feel supported in every way possible.
- Cultural Sensitivity & Humility: I get that our differences matter. I’m here to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected.
- Creativity: I love thinking outside the box to help build resilience and tackle issues in ways that feel right for you.
- Collaboration: We’re in this together. Whether it’s you, your family, or community partners, I believe in teamwork to get the best results.
- Consistency: You can rely on me to follow through; when I say I’ll do something, I’ll do it.
- Challenging the Norm: I’m not afraid to do things differently if it means offering counseling modalities that truly resonate and make sense for you.
Services I offer: I provide one-on-one, couples, and group therapy to help you navigate a range of issues, including but not limited to the following:
