About Me

    Dr. Grainer has been a licensed clinical psychologist for over 10 years. He earned his masters and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from Argosy University after receiving his B.S. in psychology from JMU.

    While primarily working with young adults dealing with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems, Dr. Grainer also enjoys working with teenagers and seniors struggling with life adjustment issues. As a Type-1 Diabetic he takes a special interest in chronic illness management, dietary health, and the mind and body connection. Utilizing an integrative and client-centered approach to treatment, there is both a focus on exploration of the past as well as the use of cognitive and behavioral interventions in the present to achieve treatment goals.

    “Therapy is a passion for me because it’s both an exciting opportunity to solve a complicated puzzle as well as have a meaningful experience in another person’s life.”

    About Me

      I specialize in working with individuals from diverse cultural, gender, racial, faith, and socioeconomic backgrounds, helping them navigate mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and major life transitions. My approach is rooted in Person-Centered therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness techniques, creating a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel heard and understood. Whether working through past experiences, managing emotions, or developing coping strategies, my goal is to provide a space for meaningful self-exploration and growth.

      My clinical experience includes working in both individual and group therapy settings, supporting clients through a wide range of personal challenges. I have experience helping individuals process complex emotions, set realistic and attainable goals, and develop strategies to improve their overall well-being. My work has also included experience in a VA hospital setting, providing care to a diverse population and reinforcing the importance of a nonjudgmental, compassionate approach to therapy.

      I believe therapy is a collaborative process where clients take an active role in their healing journey. Everyone’s path to wellness looks different, and I strive to tailor sessions to each person’s unique needs and goals. Whether you are looking to build resilience, improve relationships, or gain insight into your emotions and behaviors, I am here to support you. Together, we will work toward creating a stronger foundation for emotional well-being, personal growth, and lasting change.

      About Me

        I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who works with children and individuals. I apply a person-centered approach aimed at providing empathy and understanding first and foremost during therapy. As a therapist, I think that context and culture are exceptionally important when it comes to diagnosing and proceeding through therapy. There is a place for each theory and approach and as such I will work with the client to find what works best for them. I have incorporated psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, emotion focused, and reality-based models when working with clients. My areas of interest include working with clients through family/couple dysfunction, depression, trauma processing, managing life changes, and anxiety.

        I graduated from Wright State University with a Master of Science in Clinician Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Transylvania University. Previously I worked in community mental health in Ohio where I also worked at a domestic violence shelter while I finished my education.

          With over 14 years of experience, I am deeply committed to helping individuals understand and navigate the complexities of anxiety and its pervasive effects on their daily lives. My therapeutic approach is highly personalized, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and objectives.

          About Me 

            I am a Licensed Psychologist who joined GBCC in October of 2007. I employ an integrative approach to treatment with individuals involving both insight oriented therapy and behavioral interventions to help people achieve their goals. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship in which I help people to achieve insights, to form more effective ways of coping with stress, and to make positive changes in their lives. I believe that people are best able to do this in a caring and supportive environment. My areas of concentration are depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, psychological trauma, and crisis intervention.

            I earned my Doctoral degree from Loyola College in Maryland and completed my Clinical training at the Johns Hopkins University Counseling Center. Prior to that, I earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and my Undergraduate degree from Seton Hall University. I have over ten years experience in providing counseling services to adults.

            I am primarily located at Glen Burnie where I perform therapy and weight loss surgery evaluations. I also perform weight loss surgery evaluations at the Timonium location.
