Grazia Dimauro

My communication style

My approach can be very validating and provides a sense of 'I feel seen'. More importantly, it can help you see yourself more clearly and with love and understanding. I do challenge you to grow, and at times there can be moments of discomfort. My tone is casual, honest, and caring.

My journey to mental healthcare

Therapy is different from other medical professions. I am not some doctor who knows all and will heal you; I am simply a person who is really good at sitting with you when you are in pain, when you laugh, cry, or get angry. As we sit together and truly share this experience, it is not me who heals you but you who does the work to grow.

My goals for you

I use motivational interviewing to help build momentum for change. I challenge you to look within yourself and assess your perspectives and values. This helps us pause and look at what we want to change. Together, we help you focus on change for what you really want in your life.

Our first session

In the first session, we look at what brings you in, your history, and where we go from here. You can say what is most important to you and what you want out of this. Therapy is a relationship, and you can share what you would like from me, what you find helpful, and what you don't like.
