Shirnel Alleyne-Grant

My communication style

My goal is to provide a platform for my clients who need a space to feel warm, comfortable, and safe to express themselves while they process and heal.

My journey to mental healthcare

My first job was in accounting and banking, but I quickly realized I spent more time talking to those clients who opened up to me about the challenges in their lives than I did about their bank accounts. It became my reason for going to work every day until one day I decided to quit my job and return to school.

My goals for you

My therapeutic techniques are mainly solution-focused with a cognitive-behavioral therapy process. I tend to include motivational interviewing and a holistic approach to include mindfulness techniques, movement therapy to enhance cognitive, physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Our first session

I encourage clients to relax while expressing their feelings and work towards building a therapeutic relationship.
