Aimee Grauf, LPC

Located at 4231 Laclede Ave., St. Louis, MO 63108

Meet Aimee:

My approach is compassionate, genuine and holistic. My intention is to support you in connecting more deeply with the direct experience of yourself [mind, body, heart, spirit], allowing you to further discover your personal truth, so that you may navigate life's inevitable ebbs and flows with more honesty and confidence. As a licensed mental health counselor with a degree in Transpersonal Wilderness Therapy, I know the importance of nurturing your mental health and finding a deeper connection that will increase daily satisfaction and meaning in one's life. 

My orientation to therapy is person-centered first and foremost. I believe in creating a space where you feel free to come as you are and feel supported. From my experience and training, I sprinkle in motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral approaches, solution focused, transpersonal and mindfulness. I have experience working with various backgrounds; including individuals, couples, groups, youth and addiction. I have almost 4 years of experience working with the addiction population. This experience has deepened my understanding of mental health and provided a unique lens through which I practice. I understand that many of us struggle with some sort of challenge in our lives, whether that be addiction or challenges with our relationships. I hope to provide healing in areas that may be challenging and praise the moments that are hopeful. Together, we can explore all that life offers.
