Grace Lindahl, LPC

Meet Grace

Therapy is an incredibly vulnerable process, one which requires safety to begin. I work to create a safe space through authenticity, warmth, curiosity, and humor. I have experience working with all ages, including children, teens, and adults on a variety of presenting concerns with both talk and play therapy. I enjoy taking a creative approach to therapy and am always prepared to sit on the floor, pass you a fidget, or create art together if we need a softer start to our session. 

Some of the concerns I particularly enjoy working with include anxiety, depression, perfectionism, trauma, self esteem, emotion regulation, people-pleasing, inner child work, neurodiversity, and with the LGBTQIA+ community. 

“Surround yourself with voices that roar with yours, without drowning out the sound of your cries. We roar together. We heal together.”

More About Grace's Work

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Illinois. My favorite approaches include play and art therapy, psychodynamic and person-centered therapy, inner child work, and attachment-based therapy. I am providing play therapy services while working toward Play Therapy certification under the supervision of Jessica Bloom, LCPC, RPT-S. 

Because I am a relational therapist, I care deeply about earning your trust over time and will check in every so often on your feelings about our work or my work with your child, the therapeutic relationship, and our progress toward your goals. I am always open to hearing your feedback to make sure our sessions feel meaningful, helpful, and safe. I see therapy as a space for growth and change and will compassionately and respectfully challenge you if I notice we are straying from your goals or values. With that said, you are the expert on you and I welcome you to let me know when I don’t get something quite right. You set the pace and limits of our journey together.
