Because our support system is growing, allow me to reintroduce myself: Destiny Grigsby, B.S. LMSW, DSW-C, CEO & Founder of discovered her passion for helping others at a very young age. As a child, she was often encouraged to pursue a career as the “family attorney,” but her life experiences ultimately guided her toward a different calling. During her second year of undergraduate studies, Destiny recognized her purpose: to serve and advocate for vulnerable individuals with limited resources.
Raised by her mother, Bernice Grigsby, a resilient survivor of domestic violence and an extraordinary woman who successfully guided her five children toward higher education, Destiny developed a deep commitment to making a difference. Inspired by her upbringing and her mother’s strength, she founded her nonprofit organization, Our Place Healing Hearts, in 2016 to create a space for healing, empowerment, and support.
Destiny holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Walden University and is a full-time psychotherapist with over eight years of experience in mental health and community outreach. She has worked extensively with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Her areas of expertise include anxiety, stress, depression, adjustment challenges, and addiction, with a strong focus on helping clients create meaningful and sustainable lifestyle changes. Her therapeutic approach integrates Task-Centered Practice, which emphasizes empowerment and goal-setting, alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns.
Destiny is deeply committed to helping individuals regain peace of mind, build resilience, and reach their fullest potential. She lives by the motto: “Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much—so don’t forget to celebrate the small wins.” Outside of her professional work, Destiny enjoys spending quality time with her daughters, Saniyah and Jaycee, traveling with family, watching movies, enjoying monthly staycations, exploring DIY home projects, and giving back to her community alongside her children.
