Salish Skills Therapy: Welcome from Grace Nyblade

---

I love working with people in general.  Most of my experience is with adolescents through adulthood (13 to 64 years old) however this is not a hard and fast rule.  Under specific circumstances I can work with younger or older than this range.  Reach out and ask questions.   I am excited to work with and support all kinds of things.  I will try to help you find the right fit if I am not it:

THERAPY:

• Self-harm and Chronic Suicidality - Let’s build a life worth living together.  I have extensive training with Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT), Radically Open - Dialectic Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
• LGBTQIA2s+ - This community is dear to my heart and supporting transitions or coming out or the struggle of the current political climate is important to me.  I have joined with many people in this journey and I am honored by their stories.
• Neuro-divergence - Brains are fascinating.  Whether you are diagnosed or not.  Curious, exploring, struggling with coping with diagnosis and want to learn.  I am here for all of it.  I continue to learn from clients and work to apply what adaptations I can from traditional therapies.  The research wheels turn slowly and we don’t have the answers yet.  Let’s find what works for you.
• “Difficult to treat”  “Treatment Resistance ….”  Have you been to lots of therapy and struggle to find something that works for you.  I hope you will give this a try.  I am not a “lay down on the couch and tell me your life story kind of therapist”.  I am a skills based, let’s learn together, problem solving interactive therapist.  I don’t think that medicine or therapy have all the answers.  I am happy to try what I have learned and listen to your feedback.

COACHING:

• Executive Functioning (ADHD, ASD or other diagnoses that have difficulty with these skills – organization, initiating tasks, completing tasks, providing your own structure to the day)
• Emotional Regulation - keeping healthy habits that assist with staying healthy as an adjunct to individual therapy
• Autism Adjustment (learning how to balance being your authentic Autism Self and adapting to the world that is sometimes not Autism friendly)
• Study Skills
• Adulting for the first time
• Parenting of children with special needs, mental health diagnosis, ADHD, Autism
• Self-compassion (formerly self-esteem) and self talk
• Working through perfectionism and rigid thinking 

Striving for research based outcomes!
