Raffaela works to embody safety, to create a space of union for people to align with themselves and their surroundings, to feel seen wholly, as they are and wish to be, through the relationships, cultures, systems and environments that have influenced their shape.
Grace O'Shea, LMSW
ABOUT GRACE
My name is Grace O’Shea, and I am a licensed psychotherapist based in New York City. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Neuroscience from Augustana College and my Master’s in Social Work from New York University. I specialize in working with athletes and survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault, and my professional training also focused on contributing to research investigating treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
As an advocate for survivors of gender-based violence and a former collegiate athlete, I aim to partner with individuals who have experienced the effects of violence and athletes struggling with mental health challenges. I provide an empathic and non-judgmental space to work together to understand the root cause of your symptoms and address maladaptive coping patterns and relational difficulties.
I have received training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), and I implement a trauma-informed approach grounded in my neuroscience training. In addition to IFS, I incorporate elements of systems theory, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy, depending on the most appropriate approach for our work together.
