Meet the Founder

Dr. Michelle Grayden, PhD

Do you continue to struggle with anxiety or depression despite trying medication or traditional psychotherapy?

After 25 years of experience as a clinical psychologist treating a multitude of psychiatric issues such as Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Panic Disorder, OCD, ADHD, and Trauma, I moved to Scottsdale, Arizona and discovered Reiki, a holistic practice centered on channeling healing energy and quickly became passionate about its potential for well-being and self-discovery.

Excited by the impact on myself and my clients, I began incorporating mind-body-spirit modalities into my practice.

These new paths to recovery activate the brain’s natural neuroplasticity to rewire disturbed functioning and rebuild step by step the ability to “know what you know and feel what you feel.” They also offer experiences that directly counteract the helplessness and invisibility associated with trauma, enabling both adults and children to reclaim ownership of their bodies and their lives.

  • For anyone looking for the doctor who will listen to you, and give you the tools to apply to your inner strength, you owe it to yourself to meet Dr. Michelle Grayden. She was key to helping me prepare mentally through the very difficult stages involved with a cancer diagnosis. I want to thank her for her insight during that most difficult time, and I still apply her words through post-cancer.
