Maria Grimshaw-Clark, LCSW

Maria Grimshaw-Clark brings 34 years of clinical experience to her work helping people move from emotional pain toward personal growth. She is a LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she has guided individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and other life challenges. Her approach focuses on replacing unhelpful coping strategies with more insightful and effective methods, while fostering new connections and shifts in mindset.

Over three decades she has drawn on training in family mental health, Systems Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Zen meditation to make meaningful links between life patterns and present difficulties. That background supports a collaborative process in which explorations often lead to clearer understanding and practical change. She has been present for many moments of sudden clarity as people discover new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Maria applies her experience to cases involving stress, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, grief, anger, self-esteem issues, and complex family dynamics. Her practice emphasizes thoughtful, compassionate work that helps clients develop healthier coping skills and build more satisfying relationships.
