Hello. I am Dr. Jillian Graves, a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW), in the state of Michigan. I have experience working with adults, adolescents and families in both group and individual sessions. I have the most experiencing working with anger management, trauma, anxiety, parenting issues, mood disorders and workplace issues. I earned my MSW at Smith College and then went on to earn a Ph.D. in social work at Bryn Mawr, where my dissertation work focused on emerging adult (18-29-year-old) siblings of people with schizophrenia. As you might guess, working with siblings of people with mental illness and adolescent and young adult development are specialties of mine as well. I believe that the most important work in therapy is the relationship. Establishing trust and solid communication is important and with that in mind, therapy is a collaborative process where I am here to help you set goals, provide support and offer insight. I have an eclectic approach to therapy, using approaches such as psychodynamic theory (including attachment theory), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused treatment and narrative approaches. Making meaning, improving communication and understanding the ways that our personal histories shape us are important areas to focus on in therapy as well. Beginning therapy is difficult but I will be here to work with you every step of the way and if you have additional questions for me, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to working with you.

My Approach: A Direct Path to Trauma Recovery My name is Danni, and I'm a Licensed Therapist in Michigan. My approach is direct, heavy, and unapologetically thorough. I won't just ask, "How are you feeling today?" because frankly, if that was enough, you wouldn't be here. We are going to dig. My goal is to get to the root cause of your distress and dismantle it, brick by heavy brick. This is a form of progressive therapy, and it is driven by one core belief: that the most profound and lasting change comes from psychodynamic trauma processing and inner child work. We will not be skimming the surface. We will begin there, yes—at the surface of your current pain—but we will be following it down into the core of your past. We will find where your coping mechanisms and triggers were first formed, because our deepest parts are often stuck in the moment of their original trauma. The goal of this process is to go back to that stuck place, find safety and stability, and then walk you through the developmental stages you missed so that the "inner child" can finally grow up and become one with your current self. This is not easy. It’s intense, it can be scary, and it will require you to face things you’ve likely spent a lifetime running from. We'll be going into the depths, so you can stop just surviving and start truly living. Because of this, my approach is not for everyone. As I see it, my job is to be an honest guide, and my first act of honesty is telling you WHO MIGHT NOT find this to be a good fit. If you are looking for a quick fix, this is NOT FOR YOU. This is a commitment to a deep, transformative process. If you are NOT willing to talk about your childhood, this is going to be incredibly challenging for you. We will always find our way back to the inner child to understand the origins of your core wounds. If you believe your trauma or pain is "not that bad," my approach is probably NOT FOR YOU. I don't believe in minimizing your pain. I believe in facing it, no matter how scary it may seem. My focus is on individuals because you cannot have a healthy relationship with anyone else until you have one with yourself. My commitment is to get to the heart of the matter, so that you can heal and find the freedom you've been searching for. If you’re ready to face it all, I am here.
