Grace Ziskind

Grace is a Master’s-level Clinician, Expressive Arts Therapist, and Director of Mike’s Club, working with individuals of all ages. She brings a compassionate, grounded presence to her work, supporting clients as they move toward healing and growth.

Grace integrates expressive arts, grief counseling techniques, mindfulness practices, and strengths-based approaches to create a safe, welcoming space where clients can explore their experiences. Drawing from modalities such as CBT and DBT, she weaves in coping skills, journaling, creativity, and humor, honoring that healing is not linear and can hold both heaviness and light.

Her journey with Hope Floats began as a graduate intern through her Master’s program at Lesley University. Since earning her MA, Grace has stepped into the role of Mike’s Club Program Director, where she has nurtured the program’s growth through thoughtful, grief-informed, expressive arts interventions. She is deeply passionate about supporting children and teens as they navigate the loss of a parent or sibling, helping them build resilience, connection, and a sense of belonging through Mike’s Club.

Grace feels grateful to be part of the Hope Floats community. Outside her clinical work, she is often found creating art, reading outdoors, practicing yoga, or cuddling with her cat.
