We are located in the heart of Downtown Summerlin in the ONE Summerlin building. It is the tallest building in the center of Downtown Summerlin. I am on the 3rd floor, and you would turn right when getting off the elevator. The receptionists will assist you further from there.

Most insurances reimburse 40-60% of the session fee (sometimes a deductible is required to be met before reimbursement). Please check with your provider and see if your policy does this.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What can I expect in the first session?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
A great deal of relief and feeling like you made the right choice. In addition to that, we will discuss at length why you chose to come in and gather the appropriate amount of background info related to what brought you. You will have a chance to ask us questions and get a sense of how we work therapeutically.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do your clients receive homework assignments?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
Sometimes. This can be a case-by-case basis. Some clients benefit greatly from learning skills while others do better work processing in session. Feel free to ask if you’d like more or less.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What is your professional training and experience?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
Dr. Grant has his doctorate in Clinical Psychology and that included a great deal of training in Southern California, Manhattan, New York, and here in Las Vegas, as well. Dr. Grant’s training always included supervision from doctorate-level therapists who specialized in a myriad of different modalities. However, he chose to work more often with attachment-style psychologists. Dr. Grant’s training included a year focusing on just couples, two years working with families and individuals, two years working with university students, and two years running groups. Dr. Grant also worked in hospital settings with Geriatric patients for three years in Las Vegas.
Grace Ravenelle, LPC Intern, CPC-I has her Masters in Counseling Psychology from UNLV and has been in practice for 2 years. Grace is State Licensed in Nevada and works from both a Trauma and Attachment lens. Grace has experience working with Toddles/Preschoolers (0-6), Children (6-10), Preteens/Tweens (11-13), Adolescents/Teenages (14-19) and Adults. Grace has worked for the State of Nevada and most recently worked from a parent-child model of therapy that focuses on healing attachment/trauma wounds.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What do you do in sessions with clients?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
Dr. Grant works from a Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy perspective that is focused on Attachment, inconsistencies in actions/facial expression and words, and interpersonal relationships. That is the “lens” from which he views his clients, but he also collects background information, assess current behaviors/coping skills for help/hindrance, and explores how clients see themselves in terms of worthiness.
Grace Ravenelle works from a trauma-focused approach to help you and/or your child find meaning and purpose. Through this lens, you and/or your child will begin to express, feel and accept the internal experience in a way that’s safe and understood. Grace’s goal is to help enhance relationships, build empathy and improve understanding of the meaning of behavior.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do you work with people from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
Absolutely. In fact, a great deal of both Dr. Grant and Grace Ravenelle’s training was focused on diversity, including religion/religious studies, Women’s issues, LGBTQIA, and Multicultural lenses.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=” Do couples fight in front of you?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Yes, this does happen. There are boundaries we put in place and rules for my office (i.e., no touching or throwing, and my being able to ask one or both members to step out for a break if necessary). Fighting is not in itself a problem; it’s learning to fight fair.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=” Do you ever take sides with one member of a couple?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
There is a great deal of time spent working on remaining impartial. The interesting thing about couples is that we have yet to find one where it was ALL one person’s fault. It’s always a “couple-problem,” not an “individual problem.”

“Fun” Questions

You can ask, but we are also allowed not to answer. Whether we answer depends on whether it is conducive to the therapeutic experience for you. We want to make sure it remains about YOU.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I have to lie down on the couch?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
We would prefer you did not. Neither Dr. Grant nor Grave Ravenelle is that kind of therapist. Actually, that is called an Analyst, and it takes many, many years of concentrated training and is rarely offered (it IS in New York).
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What brand of tissues do you use?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Up & Up. The recycled ones. Sometimes Whole Foods brand because it’s close by.
[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Did either of you skip a few grades? ” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
We did not. We did them all and then some.

32 years old.
