Virginia S. Grenier, ACMHC, CCTP, SSP-P, is an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor, author, editor, advocate, and podcast producer. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions and sees clients in private practice in St. George, Utah.
Before entering the counseling profession, Grenier spent decades writing, editing, publishing, and advocating for others. She is a Mom’s Choice Silver Honoree, an award-winning author, and a former director of the St. George Book Festival. Her work includes numerous books and short stories for children and young adults, along with nonfiction writing for both children and adults.
Grenier’s background as a writer continues to shape the way she understands people, identity, meaning, and the stories we carry. Balancing her professional and creative work with a rich family life, she draws inspiration from her personal experiences to inform her writing, advocacy, counseling practice, and other creative projects.
Her longstanding commitment to supporting others is also reflected in her work as a nationally credentialed Victim Advocate through NOVA’s National Advocate Credentialing Program. She has walked alongside survivors navigating the difficult and often non-linear paths of grief, trauma, abuse, recovery, and growth.
Through both her professional work and her own life experiences, Grenier has come to believe that healing is not simply about fixing what feels broken. It is about finding meaning, reclaiming voice, restoring agency, and gently examining the stories we have been told about who we are and who we are allowed to become.
Virginia S. Grenier is the producer and co-host of the Language of the Soul Podcast, where she and host Dominick Domingo explore communication, identity, resilience, healing, relationships, and personal growth through heartfelt conversations and storytelling.
