Meet the Founder: Grace Lawton, LCSW-S
Welcome! My name is Grace, and I am an 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 as whole people with wisdom, resilience, and values that can lead them through their healing journeys. 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, couples looking for premarital counseling or pre-engagement support, adults enduring struggles in attachment and dating, those navigating self-confidence concerns, 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 values-based perspective, which I have found helps us better understand our emotional and physical experience and helps us find clarity on what brings meaning to our lives.
