Lisa Gray
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe wholeheartedly in the importance of "capital C" Childhood and facilitating a space where our young people can process, feel, and grow. I work with middle school age and up, as telehealth is a harder modality to connect with younger children. I am trained in play therapy and loved my previous experiences as a therapist in Minneapolis Public Schools, and carry the values of children (imagination, curiosity, open-heartedness) into all of my work.
