Grace Ligon

(she/her)

LCSW, MHA

Grace is the founder of Bridge Counseling & Wellness and brings ten years of clinical experience across the full continuum of care, from crisis settings and hospital systems to outpatient practice.

She tends to work with high-achieving adults navigating trauma recovery, identity intersections, neurodivergence, and major life transitions. Her clients think and feel deeply, question everything, and are often a little unconventional. She has built this practice for exactly those people, and she counts herself lucky to witness their journeys.

As a neurodivergent clinician herself, Grace brings both personal understanding and clinical expertise to her work. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence. She uses EMDR to process what words cannot always reach and DBT to build lasting skills. She holds both MSW and MHA degrees. She speaks on traumatic stress and digital health ethics, bringing clinical depth to examinations of the broader forces of technology, systems, and power that shape health.
