Daymar Blanco-Gracia

Founder | Licensed Professional Counselor #85506

I believe therapy is a supportive partnership, one where I walk alongside you as we uncover solutions tailored to your unique journey. I strive to create a safe, nurturing space where you feel truly heard and can explore challenges without fear of judgment. Every step of our work together is guided by your individual goals, values, and preferences, ensuring the process respects and honors your needs.

Therapy is never one-size-fits-all, which is why I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques, customizing each session to meet you where you are. With experience across diverse mental health settings, I support children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, and identity concerns. My goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel empowered, supported, and seen, so you can move toward meaningful change and the life you envision.

Therapist | Licensed Social Worker #113564
Supervised by: Danita Gallegos, LCSW-S

I specialize in therapy for children and teens. I work with young clients navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and the everyday challenges that come with growing up. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I focus on helping kids and teens better understand their emotions, build healthy coping skills, and gain confidence in themselves.

I believe that early support can make a lifelong difference. Whether your child is experiencing big emotions, struggling with school or friendships, or just needs someone to talk to, I’m here to help them feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Counselor | LPC-Associate #97658
Supervised by Shelley Zavodny Abeles, LPC-S

I see therapy as a collaborative process that grows with time. Change can occur, even if it is a small step. My goal is to support you in feeling understood, supported, and more confident in creating and integrating back into a life that aligns with your fullest potential. I hope to create a warm and supportive space where you can feel safe, accepted, and comfortable exploring what you’re going through at your own pace. I primarily work with adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and cognitive distortions.

I also have experience supporting children diagnosed with autism and am open to working with young adults as well. My approach is grounded in person-centered care and solution-focused work, with integration of CBT, DBT-informed skills, and present-focused strategies. I strive to help you build coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and develop healthier patterns of thinking that support your well-being.
