Biography
Autumn Gray, LICSW
The first step in the therapeutic process is recognizing that change is necessary. Implementing change takes courage and persistence. Welcome to Valiant Strides Counseling. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 12 years
of experience.
For the past four years I have been working as a clinical social worker for the Department of Veterans Affairs, helping Veterans struggling with PTSD, chronic health issues, depression, anxiety, and more.
I believe that therapy requires a collaborative approach; one
that requires open communication between both parties. I will work with you to establish goals and build confidence. I have extensive experience working with adolescents, Veterans, law enforcement, crisis intervention, school systems,
special education, and the criminal justice system. I utilize several modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing techniques.
I hold a certification in Traumatic Stress Studies and enjoy helping clients understand that they don't have to remain victims of their past traumas. Most importantly, I value collaboration and recognize that my clients are the experts of their own experience.
