GRACE AGRESTA, LSW

The best thing about being me is my ability to connect with people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. What I have learned as a therapist, is the people who are most comfortable working with me are those who are open, honest, and straightforward. Choosing to attend therapy can be an uncomfortable process, especially when you fear being judged, but the right therapist can ease your discomfort and help you to transform your pain into power. No matter your challenges (anger, depression, anxiety, fear, or everyday life challenges), I am the therapist that helps you reach your goals.

I work best with children and adolescents who struggle with the demands of life. Some people describe this population as “at-risk,” but I see them as, “At-Promise.” I help to bring out the very best in every unique child, adolescent, and young adult. I’m about collective action!
​
As a therapist, I know the power of creating a motivational and inspirational environment. Here at The Center for Counseling and Holistic Services, we strive to meet the needs of each individual client. We are a diverse group of clinicians whose focus is client elevation and community transformation.

Marie Bruno-Mayel

Imagine your precious little joy growing up to be a teenager that is defiant, disrespectful, and treats you like he/she hates you. Truth be told, there are many parents who experience a breakdown in their relationship with their children. All children enter a stage in life where they want to feel like they have the power to make decisions without the input of adults. They tend to follow their friends and seek out social circles that are not always ideal for parents. What looks like a child heading down the wrong path is often a child who wants to be seen, heard, and understood.

​I am Marie Bruno-Mayel, and I specialize in parent/child relationships. I believe therapy should be fun, interactive, and stigma-free. It is my daily practice to help adolescents and their parents remove the fear of being vulnerable. I also believe that both children and their parents should feel free to express themselves in a therapeutic environment. I invite you to contact me today and schedule an appointment. I can help you and your child experience a better relationship that represents love, respect, and understanding.
