About Me

My name is Graziella and I am the founder of Rising Up Counseling. I wanted to provide therapy to those struggling in any area of their lives. I have had almost 15 years of experience  in the field of Social work. I have worked in Child Guidance Centers, private practice, hospitals and nursing homes. I have spent years training in  Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Therapy but together we will find what works best for you.  I believe it is important to build a solid trusting relationship with your clients. The reason you have come to me for help is my focus when we are together. I want to make sure that you are not on this journey alone.  Social work is my passion but when I am not with a client, I enjoy reading, hiking, running and cooking.
