Hi! My name is Grace Bonney (Grace/they). I’m a therapist who specializes in working with queer, trans, neurodivergent and disabled couples (including polycules), individuals, families and friends.
As a queer and non-binary therapist with an invisible disability, I pay particular attention to the impact of stigma and ensure my clients’ identities are not simply accepted — but embraced and celebrated.
I believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. I collaborate with clients to move through challenges from a strengths-based perspective. I work with clients to understand the larger cultural systems around all of us and how they impact our relationships and identities.
I approach therapy through an anti-oppression, anti-diet, neurodiversity- affirming, fat liberation and disability justice framework.
I’m also a certified end-of-life doula and help clients navigate grief, chronic illness, medical trauma and disability. I am not afraid to go toward the most complicated and uncomfortable topics and issues. My style is compassionate, direct and supportive and my goal is for all of my clients to feel less alone while they face difficult moments.
My specialties are in:
navigating gender and sexuality (including people on the Ace/Aro spectrums)
queer and trans couples (poly and kink positive)
disability and chronic illness
and working with parentified adult children or those that need support in learning to set and maintain boundaries
I graduated from Syracuse University’s Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy program (Permit #P130115) and am also a New York Times best-selling author with 15 years of experience supporting artists and creatives navigating life and work. I’m supervised by Jillien Kahn, PhD, LMFT, CST.
When I’m not working, you can find me outside birdwatching, collecting rocks, and spending time with animals as a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. I live in the Hudson Valley with my wife and our four pets.
