Jamie Grant, MA, BSN, LPC
I'm really glad you're here. I've been in your shoes. and while I know therapy is not easy, I also know the journey can be incredibly freeing. I'm neither surprised by nor ashamed of my story or yours.
Since high school I wanted to study psychology. For practical purposes at the time (and at the insistence of my dad), I earned my BS in nursing, and in 1999 became an ICU nurse with the Veteran's Administration. After nearly 10-years in healthcare, I returned to graduate school while raising my family and in 2017 received my master's in counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary.
I began practicing as a counselor with a non-profit group in Grapevine, TX journeying with women recovering from addictions and trauma. Following 5 fulfilling years with this practice, I pursued training and experience with the Meadows, working in the Intensive Outpatient (IOP) setting with trauma and addictions as primary therapist. In November of 2023, I launched my own, Metanoia with my friend and colleague, Delise Morris.
I am certified in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and a member of EMDRIA. In September of 2024, I will be one of only several certified in the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM®) therapists in the D/FW area. Perhaps because of my own personal experience with generational and complex trauma, the heartbeat of my interest and treatment is complex Trauma. c-PTSD is widely recognized as the underlying reason for many of the symptoms with which people regularly struggle, such as depression, anxiety, addictions, and relationship issues. While NARM and EMDR are the mainstays of my approach to treating clients, I am also trained in post-induction therapy (PIT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and IFS informed.
I live in the Dallas area with my husband of 25 years and my 2 children, a middle schooler and a high school senior. I like music, travel, coffee, and time with my family. I don't like working out, but I do it anyway. I like to walk and work in my yard (when it's not 4,000,000 degrees outside). And in case I forgot to tell you, I'm really grateful to be part of your journey.
