My name is Keziah Grindeland, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Washington State. I work with adults of all ages over telehealth.
I believe that therapy can be an important part of navigating life changes, building self-compassion, and processing the stories that we are told, and tell, about ourselves. As a therapist, I am very collaborative. I view everyone as an expert of their own story, and I strive to provide a compassionate, curious, and kind space where clients can explore their journey of healing and growth. Whether you are looking to build sustainable routines to help manage ADHD symptoms, process the impacts of trauma, reduce the impact of OCD, or rediscover who you want to be after a life transition, I am excited to meet you!
Outside of the therapy room you might find me camping with my spouse, losing at trivia night, working on a puzzle, or knitting!
My primary areas of focus are trauma, grief, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, and increasingly OCD. The majority of my work with clients has been in trauma processing, particularly with survivors of Domestic Violence. I am trained in multiple trauma processing modalities such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence based technique proven to reduce symptoms of PTSD.
I am also in the process of being trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. If you think you may have OCD, we can explore if this might be the right treatment for you.
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Washington. I received a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Lutheran University. Since 2022, I have provided therapy to survivors of domestic violence and their children at the YWCA Pierce County. In that role I work with both adults and children. In addtion to individual and family therapy, I've led art-based therapy groups designed to support DV survivors in their healing journey.
Before becoming a therapist I studied religion, interfaith engagement, and social justice at the undergraduate and gradudate levels. I also worked as a community organizer and communications manager in nonprofits located in Washington DC and Los Angeles.
