About Grazi

Hi, I'm Grazi (she/her/hers), and I'm honored to welcome you here. With over 25 years of experience as a therapist, I bring an outgoing, thoughtful, and compassionate approach to every session. I believe deeply in the power of creating a safe space where healing can unfold naturally.

My Approach

I approach each person and therapeutic challenge with positivity, respect, and genuine exuberance. My style is client-centered and strength-based, meaning I see you as the expert in your own life while I walk alongside you on your journey. I utilize an interactive, supportive, creative, and flexible approach that adapts to your unique needs and circumstances.

I believe that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Drawing from a diverse toolkit of therapeutic modalities—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strength-based approaches, and systems theory—I thoughtfully mix and match techniques based on what will serve you best. Your individual needs, goals, and circumstances guide which approaches we use and when, ensuring that our work together is truly tailored to your journey.

My clinical experience and open-mindedness create an atmosphere where clients feel at ease and fully committed to their healing process. I am completely dedicated to my clients and serve as an agent of positive change for them and their families.

What I Offer

My goal is to provide compassion, understanding, and empathy in a safe, non-judgmental, and relaxed environment. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, working through challenges, or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you.

Areas of Focus

I work best with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with:

Depression
Anxiety and stress
Interpersonal relationship difficulties
Social skills challenges
Grief and loss
Self-esteem concerns
Borderline Personality Disorder
The intersection of medical conditions and mental health

If you're ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I would be honored to work with you.

Services and Fees

What to Expect

Therapy offers a safe space to talk through any problem or situation—a place to learn skills for handling difficult circumstances, making healthy decisions, and reaching your goals. Whether you're seeking short-term support for immediate concerns or long-term work to address more complex issues, at Thrive Therapy AZ, we'll work together to explore your feelings, navigate life's challenges, identify what you wish to change, and create meaningful goals for your growth.

Your First Session

We begin with a 90-minute intake appointment focused on getting to know you. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your immediate needs, support systems, strengths, and treatment goals. We'll also cover confidentiality, fees, what to expect from our work together, and session structure. Most importantly, this is your opportunity to decide if my style feels like a good fit—therapy works best when you feel comfortable and connected with your therapist.

Ongoing Sessions

After our initial meeting, we'll schedule sessions at a frequency that works best for you. Each session is 55-60 minutes and provides a supportive space for exploration and processing. Together, we'll work to understand the impact of behaviors, deepen self-awareness, and increase self-acceptance. Our sessions focus on practical strategies to achieve the goals we create together, utilizing interventions specifically tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
