About me

My name is Terri Graves, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have nearly 23 years of experience working in the helping field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns. My goal is to help you find ways to get through these times by creating coping strategies, healthy boundaries, and core skills where needed.
Our world is ever-changing which requires a modern therapeutic approach. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by current stressors, or perhaps you want to heal from past experiences. Whatever your goals are, I am here to help you grow, heal, change, and thrive in your life. Many clients feel ashamed or scared to be vulnerable, but I can promise that you are safe from any judgment. There is nothing you can say in our space that will phase me or surprise me. All of your thoughts, worries, traumas, and hardships are welcome. Let’s start your journey to being a better you.

I connected with Ms. Terri as if she was family. She has a humbling and nurturing soul. She has been a strong support system for me during my life situations. She is greatly appreciated and I will definitely stay in touch with her for my life updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone in need.

Terri is a fantastic therapist. She knows how to listen and has a great way of getting me to open up. She never tries to give me the answer but encourages me to think things through for myself, offering encouragement along the way.
