Mrs. Altagracia “Grace” Akopyan

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | MA, LMFT

Hello, my name is Grace and I like to think that becoming a therapist was not by chance. I know it could be difficult to seek help because I have been in your shoes before. I remember going to my first therapist when I was a distressed young adult in a toxic relationship with anxiety and depression symptoms. It took me time and much needed self healing before I came out feeling whole and full of purpose again. My therapist then helped me change my life for the better and I decided at that point that this path was the right path for me. I am a therapist because I want to help others who are in need, as I once was.

I work with couples, adult individuals and adolescents treating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship conflict, life transitions, trauma, and communication issues. In addition to conducting therapy, I also have decided to give back to my community in the form of teaching and mentoring aspiring psychotherapists in the Pepperdine Graduate School of Education.

If God permits, I hope to be a part of your path to opening up this new beautiful chapter that awaits you.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
