Nancy Grau

My communication style

Clients tell me that they feel comfortable talking to me. My style reflects my values: authenticity, transparency, kindness, and compassion.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path began at age 19 with my own experience as a client in therapy. I decided to start graduate school with the goal of becoming a psychologist. I began working in domestic violence services in NYC and found that I had a lot of passion for helping women and children. In 1996, I moved to New Mexico to complete a PhD.

My goals for you

Goals for therapy are discussed in the first two sessions. Clients identify their unique goals, and collaboratively, we identify small steps that help you reach those goals.

Our first session

My intake process tends to be structured to get an overview of the areas of challenge a client may be experiencing presently. This includes a bio-psycho-social assessment that takes context into account (geography, culture, race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and neurodivergence). My goal is to "meet the client where they are at".

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
