Hafia Gray, MA, LPCC, LADC Licensed Behavioral Health Clinician

Namaste! My name is Hafia and I have passionately worked in the mental health/social services field for over 15 years. I hold professional licenses in drug and alcohol counseling (LADC) and professional clinical counseling (LPCC). I believe in taking a supportive, person-centered approach when working with clients, and I keep trauma-conscious practices at the forefront of my clinical and community work. Some of my specialties include working with individuals living with depression, anxiety, PTSD or other trauma responses, interpersonal/relationship challenges, and drug and alcohol addiction. I also provide couples and family counseling for those looking to repair or explore effective communication and interactions with their partners and family members.

Some of my other interests include practicing yoga (currently pursuing the 200-hour yoga teacher certification), meditation, writing, and exploring in nature and these values absolutely “show up” in my therapeutic approaches with clients. Therapy is a powerful tool that I believe starts with improving self-awareness. Do you really know yourself and accept yourself? Let’s work on that!
