About Dr. Jillian Graves
Dr. Graves earned her Master of Social Work at Smith College and completed a Ph.D. in social work at Bryn Mawr College.

Her style is eclectic, drawing on psychodynamic perspectives including attachment theory, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused techniques, and narrative approaches. Important themes in her work include helping clients make meaning of life events, improving communication, and exploring how personal histories shape present patterns.
