A place for women to unload the mental load.

My name is Marissa Gray and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Perinatal Mental Health provider, and psychotherapist. I am glad you are here. I understand that sometimes, life feels too stressful. The mental load feels too heavy. Perhaps you find yourself picturing the worst case scenario, or maybe you struggle to prioritize your own needs. You may be wondering why your relationships are not what you hoped for, or you might be noticing how overwhelmed you feel by decision-making. You might feel anxious, worried, or depressed by pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting. By even wondering if therapy is right for you, you are showing yourself incredible compassion and support.

Gray Therapy Group specializes in women’s mental health, providing virtual sessions for Illinois residents who are ready to prioritize their emotional well-being. Whether you are new to therapy or ready to integrate therapy into your life again, I am here to support you.

Individual therapy offers a space to safely process and explore childhood experiences. Childhood is a formative, and often times as adult, making sense of family dynamics and childhood experiences provides a way to not only make meaning of your lived experiences, but to also make sense of how these perspectives in adulthood can help you live a meaningful and authentic life.
Individual therapy allows clients to explore and identity how to move away from making fear-based decisions and how to move into making values-based decisions. This practice of acceptance support clients in their ability to make decisions even when feeling uncomfortable and navigating uncertainty.
