About Grace
Grace Szeja, LCSW, welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or drained by life. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life changes, grief, trauma and related concerns. Grace aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
Grace uses a client-centered approach that centers the person's goals and lived experience. She blends creative expressive activities with practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions often include drawing, journaling, or other art-based work alongside skill practice to shift thought patterns and coping behaviors.
Her background includes about ten years as a clinical social worker with hospital experience across a wide age range. Before social work she worked as a fine artist, and she brings that creative perspective into therapy sessions. Grace values curiosity and gentle encouragement when people try new ways of coping.
In therapy she helps people notice old patterns, build healthier habits, and make choices that fit their values. Topics she commonly addresses include attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment, emptiness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and young adult struggles. She also supports people navigating bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Outside of work she gardens, runs long distances, hikes, and cares for cats and rabbits. She uses she/her pronouns and offers sessions in English for people both inside and outside the United States.
