Grace Peabody has always been interested in working with people. From a very young age, she wanted to pursue a career in teaching, as she was drawn to a lifestyle of coming alongside individuals as they learn and grow in life. From this interest stemmed her passion for therapy, and now her journey through higher education in Psychology. In 2020, Grace graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and double minored in Education Studies and Study of Religion. Grace has also worked in school settings as a classroom behavior technician and pre-school teacher.

Background and Experience:

Grace champions the idea of creating a space where people feel seen, accepted, and heard while giving them helpful tools that can be used throughout their lifespan. She believes that to best care for individuals we need to understand their holistic environment, including their biopsychosocial contexts. Grace wants to collaborate with clients through a person-centered approach, as they work together to accomplish their therapeutic goals.

Grace has completed her EMDR basic training, is Gottman Level 2 certified, and has attended trainings in Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

When not in school, Grace enjoys spending time with family and her husband being outdoors—going on walks, hiking, running, or skiing. She also enjoys cooking, playing guitar, singing, painting, drawing, and petting any and every dog that comes her way.
