Ms Mari Grande

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Competent, experienced, and compassionate therapist helps individuals and families find and strengthen skills from within.”

About Me

This therapist offers a compassionate space for individuals and families to navigate life's complexities. They support clients in exploring their unique inner resources, helping them uncover and strengthen inherent capabilities. Through collaborative sessions, practical strategies for resilience are developed. This approach is ideal for anyone ready to build lasting well-being by finding strength from within.

Approach

Work focuses on gently mapping what already helps you and designing small, doable experiments to try between sessions so progress feels steady and achievable. I meet with people in New York, in English, in a calm, grounded space that balances reflection with movement and creative prompts when they suit the moment. Sessions move at your pace—sometimes written or visual work, sometimes resourcing and emotion regulation—always anchored in practical steps you can use day to day. This way of working tends to suit those wanting steady, hands-on growth after stress or trauma.
