Support for Adults & Professionals
You appear “fine” while performing and achieving despite anxiety, stress, burnout, traumatic experiences and lingering responses, strained relationships, and life transitions.
The same traits that helped you succeed now leave you depleted, disconnected, or conflicted between your roles and deepest values.
Psychologist in Dayton, Ohio
Hi, I'm Dr. Tricha Weeks
I have 20+ years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults in private and nonprofit organizations, tribal communities, military environments, and social service systems. These experiences provide a deeper understanding of the pressures faced by adults serving within complex systems.
As a veteran and woman of faith, I understand the realities of duty, responsibility, and service. I have navigated conflicts between professional roles and personal values in demanding environments.
This practice and my approach are authentically aligned with my core values. This is also why I attended a private, faith based graduate school, and served this country with honor and integrity – despite hardships.
While everyone navigates conflict and transitions differently – my goal is to assist you with clarifying your values to navigate the demands and transitions you face.
These are the very reasons why I combine deep empathy with straightforward, values-based, and evidence-informed support. Services are individually tailored, and include practical steps to align your roles and responsibilities with your core values, without losing momentum.
My Personal & Professional Mottos
By grace — we endure, persevere, and grow through hardships.
Grace Endures & So Do You!
It doesn’t matter how much you know – until you show how much you care.
What It’s Like Working With Me
My Approach
My approach is straightforward, upfront, and specifically tailored for you. I use practical strategies, with a balance of humor, challenge, and support. I specifically emphasize your personal autonomy, respect for privacy, and the gravity of what you manage every day. Your goals are individualized, and collaboratively developed to create actionable steps in-between session.
-
Care is collaborative, reflective, and guided by ongoing assessment and progress towards your goals.
-
Evidenced informed frameworks (ACT, CBT, CBTi, Somatic, Trauma, Polyvagal, Personal Insight) are integrated with your individual values, religious, cultural and spiritual practices.
-
These approaches and your lived experiences are used to tailor your goals with actionable steps between sessions.
-
The focus is on practical results and aligning your daily life with what matters most to you.
How I’m Different
I’m direct. I encourage and model open, honest and consistent collaborative discussions about outcomes. I actively tailor my practice to work best for my clients and work really well for me. I created values-based measures and self-screeners that are freely available for you to identify and measure your progress.
I can also help you tailor your life in a way that works best for you, because I don’t expect, nor do I believe it’s helpful for you to stay in therapy forever. I also created a free tool to help you figure out when you’re done with therapy with me and when it would be helpful to return to therapy. We’re going to discuss progress toward your goals at every session, because I want to know that what we’re doing is working for you. It’s also helps you see what’s working for you. If things aren’t working, we want to make corrections right away so you’re not wasting your time.
At the end of every session – we do a session checkout, which is time for you to reflect on what was or wasn’t helpful during the session, and what your takeaway is from the session.
What You Can Gain
-
Clarity, emotional presence, and sustainable energy.
-
Manageable stress.
-
Improved sleep.
-
Lead and live with integrity – achieve without sacrificing what matters most.
My Journey To Becoming a Psychologist
Raised in a family with generations of military service, I experienced the standards, and quiet perseverance that defines the lives of many military families. Families like mine appeared sturdy – while struggling to navigate deep fractures, limited emotional presence amid family crisis, health concerns and loss. These realities, combined with being raised on a rural mini-farm with periodic multigenerational support, alongside numerous dually involved teen boys, deeply shaped my understanding of resilience, perseverance, and ingrained my values of faith, integrity, and service. Having been heavily involved in 4-H, animal husbandry, and training my own horses fostered my love, honor, and respect for the land, animals, resources, and all of God’s creation. Through these hardships, I learned lifelong lessons about the quiet power of humility, grace, and authentic connection.
Prior to graduate school, as a co-owner of a family owned satellite company, I implemented customer satisfaction measures, assisted with basic tech support and installations while simultaneously spending 15 years in direct service roles supporting children, teens, and adults facing trauma, crisis, addictions, and transitions. Noticing problematic substance use and deep communication gaps between teens and their families, I became certified in addiction counseling (CADC) and equine-assisted therapy (EAGALA). I then piloted a free school based treatment program using my personally trained horses to provide services through a private non-profit program. My early life experiences, paired with directly serving others stirred a deep calling to pursue doctoral training at a private religious doctoral program to incorporate my values with advanced clinical training.
While in doctoral training, I earned a military scholarship and combined prior experiences with specialized studies while volunteering as a Family Readiness Group Coordinator (FRG) with an Army Reserve Battery Battalion. As a military psychologist, I provided support to service members navigating their military career, leadership and various military experiences and life transitions. While in service, and to this day, I stand for my values, the rights of fellow service members, as well as the legitimacy of our inalienable and constitutional rights.
After transitioning out of military service, I took a much needed sabbatical to adjust, and channeled this journey into founding Grace Endures Psychotherapy to offer deeper clinical expertise, evidence-based tools, and collaborative therapy that honors personal strengths to better serve professionals seeking meaningful growth.

The name “Grace Endures” reflects my core belief that grace and resilience sustain us through life’s hardest seasons. I created this practice to provide collaborative, individualized teletherapy honoring personal strengths, faith, and growth that high-achievers need to thrive.
The logo was created based on the theme of God’s enduring grace and incorporates my values of faith, family, friends, colleagues, and my country.
