Under Clinical Supervision

Mrs. Leslie Brinson, Licensed Associate Counselor, 37AC00690550 is practicing under the supervision of Titani Grant (New Jersey, LPC, 37PC00679600) at TG Counseling and Consulting Services.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases.

What does a first session with you look like?

In our first session together, we'll focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment where you can openly share your reasons for seeking therapy and any immediate concerns you may have. I'll take the time to understand your background, including your childhood history, and discuss your goals and areas where you feel you'd like support. We'll explore what you hope to achieve through therapy and begin identifying strategies to help you move forward. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling understood, supported, and empowered with a plan that aligns with your needs.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

It’s important for clients to know that I believe in meeting them where they are, offering a non-judgmental, supportive space where we can work together to address their unique life concerns. I prioritize a collaborative approach, ensuring that each client feels heard, valued, and empowered throughout our work together.

What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?

Success in therapy can look different for each person, but generally, it means seeing positive changes in areas that once felt challenging. Clients may notice they are making progress when they feel more empowered to handle difficult situations, experience reduced symptoms (such as anxiety or low mood), or use healthy coping strategies that feel natural. Progress often shows up as an increased sense of self-awareness, improved relationships, or a stronger sense of purpose and self-confidence. As we work together, we’ll regularly check in on your goals to celebrate the small and big wins along the way, helping you feel clear about your growth and development.
