Gerry Grace PHD, M. DIV.

I was born and raised in Ireland and came to the US to pursue graduate and post graduate studies in psychotherapy.  San Antonio became my second home where I established my career and practice. My vision and passion has always leaned towards the integration of sound Psychological Health with a deep sense of the Sacred.  This passion led me to get my PhD in Psychology and my Masters in Divinity.

The specialized trainings I have received and continue to update and equip myself with include:

• Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist having completed level 3 IFS training.
• National and International trainer in Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) for PTSD for The Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at UPENN in Philadelphia. I spent 3 years traveling the US, Europe and Korea training psychologists social workers and psychiatrists for the Department of Defense in treating PTSD for combat trauma. I continue to consult with DoD providers in offering supervision in this area of combat trauma.
• Trained in Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for PTSD
• Trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Trained Spiritual Director in the Ignatius and Carmelite traditions.
• Trained in Emotional Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Intimacy From the Inside Out (IFIO)
• Certified Facilitator in Circling/Relatefullness Group Work
• Most of all I am a fellow human being on a similar journey to that of my clients. A journey seeking to maximize psychological health and flexibility while deepening access to spiritual resources that lie in the depths of what we call “Self”.
