Grace Li, LMSW

I see therapy as a collaborative and welcoming space where you can feel truly heard and understood. My style is compassionate and down-to-earth, focused on building trust and connection while supporting you as you explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I aim to help clients feel empowered and confident in navigating life’s challenges.

Modality & Approach

I provide therapy to children, adolescents, individuals, and families, tailoring sessions to fit your unique needs and goals. My approach is integrative, blending evidence-based techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness practices. Together, we’ll work on practical strategies, personal growth, and emotional resilience, creating tools you can carry into everyday life.

Self Care Statement

One thing I do daily to support my mental and emotional well-being is spending time in nature. Whether it’s a walk, a hike, or simply sitting in the park, this practice helps me feel grounded, clear-headed, and ready to approach each day with calm and focus.
