Getting to know Ava Griffiths

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in the therapeutic field for over 20 years. People want to be heard, loved, and accepted without judgment for their thoughts and feelings. As a therapist, I provide that safe space for individuals to do so. I take pride in helping my clients look beyond the surface of personal challenges to identify and heal root issues. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults with mental health conditions and other social stressors. I specialize in helping individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, relationship and parenting issues. I am also SIFI certified, open to providing clinical supervision for students if needed. As a certified holistic doula, I assist with postpartum care, providing emotional support and guidance for new mothers. The transition from hospital to home can be a challenging time, where adjusting to nurture an infant around-the-clock is a learning process. I help women find their balance between motherhood, work, and self-care. For clients interested in a holistic approach, how to deepen their connection to self and spirituality, you are in the right place. I also offer crystal healing and sound healing, within my practice. Together, we can explore which services work best for you, on your schedule, at your pace. My goal is to help you take back control, build confidence, and find your equilibrium.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I utilized empathic listening CBT and psychodynamic theories with a focus on mindfulness as a way to distress management. I strongly believe in talk therapy as a way to process thoughts that one might swirl in their heads until they become overwhelmed. I assist with compartmentalizing their thoughts for better outcomes of problem solving.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Talk therapy is the primary focus. Sometimes, given what might be occurring in the moment, I will implement a mindfulness practice or breathing exercise to aid in decompressing in the moment.
