Dr Grinnage has been the most helpful, professional, and attuned therapist I’ve encountered since my first therapist. She’s provided me with a multitude of helpful tools to help me find healthier ways of coping with life when it really started to “life.” I didn’t want to lose myself any further than I already had when enrolling and my coping mechanisms weren’t healthy or conducive for the goals I was trying to achieve. Her empathy and compassion made it easy to open up and share how I was coping, without fear of judgement.
Her listening skills and memory are A1 and I honestly am grateful I decided to look for another therapist after my first “match;” otherwise, I never would’ve found Dr. Grinnage.
It’s important to note I was READY for this process and I’ve been to therapy before so I knew in order for it to work, honesty was imperative.
If you’re ready for the process and lucky enough to have her be your therapist, especially if this is your first time; you’ll understand the hype behind therapy. Dr. Grinnage is why those of us who are ready to deal with ourselves, be honest about our thoughts and feelings, keep coming back. Especially when we need someone to talk to because the curveballs of life are flying towards us at rapid speed as if we’re in a batting cage.
I can’t thank her enough for how she’s helped me. I’m happy she’s young and retirement is a far cry away lol.

She is an amazing therapist. This was more of a benefit than I thought. I don’t think I ever had anyone else see me so clearly and give me the tools to progress

Dr. Grinnage is professional; she is a great listener and very pleasant to talk with. She speaks plainly and offers great insight. I wish I could have found her much sooner.

Dr. Grinnage is very attentive. She listen and responds in a respectful and helpful way. She is patient and very kind. She stays professional and demonstrates how knowledgeable she is, yet extremely humble as well.
