Introduction: My therapy services definitely stand out in the therapy services gene pool.
Since I am offering them, that means I definitely stand out in a crowd of therapists.
Therapist profiles are frequently indistinguishable from one another. That's why the first
sentence in my profile clearly describes, in the six words below, one of my most profound
beliefs about my work:
Therapy Does Not Have To Be Grim
That sentence has convinced most of my new patients to work with me.

vitals.com
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Abbey Graves, Psy.D.
I feel very happy when my patients realize that they deserve to enjoy life and to get treated with dignity and respect.
It is HARD WORK for many people to include THEMSELVES in a NO VICTIMS clause, even though they make sure to protect anyone and everyone else from becoming a victim.
It is Hard Work to UNLEARN putting everyone else's needs ahead of one's own.
I Enjoy The Results Of The Challenges Required For:
*Providing a safe place for trauma victims and their families
*Providing a safe place for the LGBT Community, especially for children and adolescents
*Providing a safe place for anyone who decides to trust me with their feelings, thoughts, secrets, and fears
I remain humbled and awed by the privilege of helping my patients, and that I helped them get well.
