Tricia Grant, MSW, Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist
(She/Her Pronouns)
Are you seeking to make changes in your life to achieve your goals and create a lifestyle that supports your personal aspirations and mental health? Are you looking for a therapist to support you along your journey? I am a therapist that has devoted my private practice to supporting racialized folks, students and individuals living with invisible disabilities. I am passionate about helping individuals no matter what label they live with or the social class they identify with, applying an anti-oppressive framework to enhance one’s self-worth and quality of life. It is important for me to advocate for social justice, develop collaborative plans, promote equity, and support individuals that are experiencing conflict within the criminal justice system or face systemic barriers due to colonial practices. Together we can determine the right therapeutic approaches to achieve your goals and guide you in the direction of your choice.
My approach is client-centred, trauma-informed, non-judgmental, collaborative, strengths-based, and goal-oriented. I utilize cognitive-behavioural-based interventions, incorporating various modalities such as Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Task Focus Therapy, System Therapy, Mindfulness, etc. It is essential for us to develop rapport, a sense of connection, and foster a space where you feel comfortable sharing.
My areas of focus:
• Invisible Intellectual Disabilities
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Rejection
• Stress Management
• Low Self-Esteem (centering your voice)
• Isolation
• Relationship Issues
• Work or School Difficulties
• Family Conflict
• Self-Care
• Trauma
• Acquired Brain Injury
• Domestic Violence (Partner intimate violence)
• Grief or Loss
My experiences working as a counsellor began in 2003. I have a Master's in Social Work and Diploma in Child and Youth Care. Currently, I work within the social service field offering counselling support to individuals impacted by systemic mental health barriers and experiencing difficulties navigating within an ableist society. I enjoy physical activity, cycling, swimming, yoga, travelling, and spending time with friends and family outside of my career.
