Introducing our 2026-2027 MSW Student Intern, Grace Lill. She will be observing sessions (with client signed consent), learning about therapy, engaging with clients through resource sharing, co-running a group, and seeing her own clients!
Grace will also be posting on this Instagram page with resources, topics, etc. so please feel free to DM with topics you’d want information about.
Meet Grace: Grace is a graduate-level social work intern completing a Master of Social Work with a clinical concentration at the University of Maryland, with an expected graduation of May 2027.
She is interested in working with adults and children, with a clinical focus on trauma, grief, and anxiety.
Grace’s approach to therapy is compassionate, attentive, and supportive. She aims to create sessions that feel relaxed and collaborative, while maintaining a trauma-informed and strengths-based framework. She values meeting clients where they are and helping them feel safe, understood, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.
Her experience includes working with adolescents from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating trauma histories, grief, anxiety, and significant life transitions such as immigration, family loss, and school-related stressors.
Grace’s interest in social work is rooted in her own lived experience with mental health challenges, trauma, and grief. She describes the clinicians who supported her as meaningful sources of guidance and stability, and she is motivated to offer that same kind of support to others while helping clients build on their strengths.
Outside of clinical work, Grace enjoys hiking, skiing, swimming in the ocean, playing soccer, and antiquing. She also has a strong interest in dinosaurs and shares her home with three pets: a black cat named Herbie, a Maine C**n cat named Scout, and a pit bull named Ivy.
