Meet the Founder: Grace Lawton, LCSW

Welcome! My name is Grace, and I am a holistic integrative psychotherapist and the founder of GML Therapy, PLLC. I started GML Therapy, PLLC with the vision of creating a practice that integrates clinical excellence with warmth, intentionality, and holistic care. After working in a range of mental health settings, I saw a need for a space where clients could feel deeply seen, not as diagnoses or problems to solve, but as whole people with wisdom, resilience, and values worth honoring. This practice was born out of a desire to offer thoughtful, evidence-based therapy that supports real change while staying grounded in compassion, integrity, and connection.

In my clinical work, I specialize in working adults who are navigating anxiety disorders and obsessive thinking, couples enduring family/relationship conflicts, adults enduring struggles in attachment and dating, those navigating self-confidence concerns, adults experiencing complex trauma, and people struggling with impulsivity or emotional dysregulation.

My expertise is in integrative holistic psychotherapy, where my primary focus is to combine different therapeutic modalities to create a treatment plan best fit for you. I pull from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and transpersonal (spiritual) psychology. I also offer faith-based treatment for those interested in bringing their faith or spiritual practices into their therapeutic work. My supportive, hands-on style is designed to assist you in building a toolbox of skills to take with you in creating the life you desire that aligns with your values. Much of my work incorporates a spiritual or values-based perspective, which I have found helps us better understand our emotional and physical experience and helps us find clarity on what has meaning in our lives.
