About Me

Hello, I’m Dr. Grace Kiriakos, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California (PSY 31468). I work with a wide range of adult individuals in private practice. My other professional roles include supervising clinical psychology doctoral students at the Wright Institute, providing consultation and assessment services, as well as serving on the Education Committee of the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (NCSPP).

I have 13 years of experience working with culturally, sexually, and gender diverse patients, 5 years of which focused on working with children and families on such issues as attachment and the impact of early adversity and trauma on biopsychosocial development. My specializations include complex trauma, neurodivergence, identity issues, attachment styles, relationship issues, life transitions, and substance use.

Currently, I work with adults who may be discovering aspects of identity—such as complex trauma, neurodivergence, and/or gender identity—later in life. Necessarily, I am curious about the ways in which intersectional identity, cultural contexts, and structural systems reciprocally inform the individual development and mental health of my patients.
