Grace Dushatinski, LCSW-C
About me
Hello! I’m Grace, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) dedicated to supporting children and families through life’s challenges.
I have over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents in school-based and clinical settings. I specialize in helping kids navigate anxiety, big emotions, behavioral challenges, social difficulties, and life transitions. I’ve worked closely with students, parents, and teachers, so I understand how to support the whole child—both emotionally and within their daily environments.
My approach is warm, patient, and engaging. I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship with each child so they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Through a mix of conversation, play-based techniques, and skill-building activities, I help children learn how to express their feelings, manage emotions, and build confidence.
I also believe that parents are an essential part of the process. I collaborate closely with caregivers, offering support, insight, and practical strategies to help your child thrive both at home and at school.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is compassionate, experienced, and committed to helping your child grow, I would be honored to support your family.
I look forward to connecting with you.
