Mrs. Grace Akopyan- Akopyan LMFT

I like to think that becoming a therapist was my calling. I remember going to my first therapist when I was a distressed young adult in a toxic relationship with anxiety/ depressive symptoms. I want to others to experience what it feels like to be happy with their life again.

I work with client's who are ready to see a change in their life. I do not believe in wasting your money and time. Time is the most valuable thing in our lives and if you allow me in , we will do the necessary work for you to see a difference! My clients want to understand their roadblocks and build emotional intelligence. Together we can work on helping you feel fulfilled and like you are back on track. Leave the emotional fogs you feel when stressed in the past and join me on helping you discover your dream potential. Happiness, joy, fulfillment, love and direction in your life is possible after you take this first step.
