I am a licensed doctor of psychology practicing in Beverly Hills for 20+ years. I have a credential from the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, Human Sexuality Program. I would very much be available to treat many human sexuality problems which plague relationships and individuals: Disorders of Desire; Arousal Disorders; Relationship Problems which may lead to Lack of Intimacy and/or Confidence. Any of these issues may lead to Depression and/or Anxiety.
You do not have to face these problems alone. I am here to listen carefully to you. I have many approaches with which to help you. My approach is a collaborative one. I will give you the tools and insights that make sense to you. You and your needs come first.
It is important to me as your therapist that you feel heard!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall rating:
Dr. Grayson is punctual, professional and understanding.
Very kind and empathetic. Honest and had a genuine interest in the story being shared.
Very professional and lots of insight.
I've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Graysen. I initially did not anticipate the susbtantial impact that Dr. Graysen's help would have on my life. However, working with her has ushered me into a more stable, resilient and empowered version of myself, which I have felt reflected both personally and professionally. This transformation filled a previously unnoticed void, akin to adding a missing puzzle piece to my life's picture. For that, I am profoundly grateful.
Dr Graysen was exactly who I needed for issues relating to family dynamic, sexual health, romantic troubles, and basic proactive functioning. I came to her in crisis mode six months ago and we have step by step untangled the logic that was keeping me trapped in a difficult situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate listener with a sense of humor.
I couldn't have asked for a better person. Thank you!
Today was my first session with Dr Graysen and I have no words to express how much better I already feel. She was very professional and extremely easy to talk to regarding the most embarrassing of situations. A little weight has been lifted off my shoulders . Looking forward to more time with her.
Really helped me with an issue I’ve struggled with since I was a teen. 10/10
She is compassionate and concerned about my well-being. Very friendly.
Dr. Graysen has help me tremendously. She listens to me and the exercises she showed me when I feel anxious have help me to better deal with my anxiety.
This is my first time trying Better Help. So far I’ve felt very supported & safe. I am looking forward to more.
Dr. Grayson is friendly and tuned in to what I need from her. I have confidence in her to help me in my life at this time.
