Grace Addow-Langlais Psychotherapy, LMHC

I have an eclectic professional background that includes experiences in the entertainment industry, K-12 education, higher education, consulting, and entrepreneurship. I believe my background affords me the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people to help them address their unique mental health conditions and situations. While working in the entertainment industry, I decided to pursue a master's degree in nonprofit because I have always been drawn to the helping fields and wanted to follow that path. I received my first master's degree in nonprofit management and public policy. A few years later, I went back to school to pursue a master's degree in education with a specialization in counseling. After receiving my counseling degree, I decided to obtain an advanced certificate in mental health counseling, which led me to the path of becoming a licensed mental health therapist.

Once we decide that we are a good fit for each other, we begin the process of exploring the issues and circumstances that brought you to therapy, understanding how they present or show up in your life, identifying what they are, and developing a personalized treatment plan to address your situation or mental health condition. I understand that there’s more to us than our circumstances so I take into account your background, culture, traditions, environment, and other dynamics that may contribute to your condition or situation. Along the way, you may laugh, cry, and sometimes resist the changes that are needed to meet your goals in therapy. We will work through the resistance together. From time to time, I assign homework so clients can take the work that they are doing in therapy into their day-to-day lives. As clients begin to meet their goals, we begin the transition process so clients can experience the fullness of the changes they’ve made in therapy.

I seek ongoing continuing education and advanced training in order to provide the best care for my clients. I have completed additional training in anxiety treatment, telehealth and distant therapy, and anger management. I am a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional (CCATP), certified specialist in anger management (CSAM), and certified clinical telemental health provider (CCTHP).
