Grace Nieman
I am passionate about helping individuals, children, and families navigate through challenges and foster growth. Therapy is a space where you can explore patterns and work together to adopt new perspectives and behaviors, and process emotions. I also aim to create an environment where you can heal from past experiences and embrace self-discovery and a deeper understanding of your relationships. I enjoy working with families and relationships collaboratively and ensure that each person is able to get their voice heard, feel respected, and have honest conversations.
I have experience working with adolescents, families, and individuals in many different settings; special education schools, nature settings, and in client’s homes and in the community.
On a personal note, I have one cat who loves to relax with me. Creating art and baking are also a passion of mine. I love to be out hiking and exploring nature-getting lost on the trail and working with what you have, all the while discovering new things!
