Getting to know Claire Griffin

At Hope and Healing Counseling, my goal is to provide a safe space where clients can explore barriers such as inner beliefs, past experiences, and unhealthy relationships that prevent lasting joy, helping them find wholeness and recognize their inherent worth. I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Social Work and a Master’s of Science in Clinical Social Work, with diverse clinical experience in children and family services, gerontology, hospital social work, substance abuse recovery, hospice care, wilderness therapy with teenage girls facing PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-harm, learning disabilities, ODD, ADD/ADHD, attachment and co-occurring disorders, and continued work with women navigating similar challenges through holistic, team-based care. My primary therapeutic approaches include existential therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and reality therapy, while integrating additional theories as needed to meet each client’s individualized path toward healing and wholeness..

What should a new client know about working with you?

You can expect a safe, compassionate space where we explore the deeper beliefs, past experiences, and relationship patterns that may be blocking lasting joy, while focusing on helping you rediscover your inherent worth and move toward wholeness.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin by understanding your personal history and current challenges, then use existential therapy, CBT, reality therapy, and other tailored approaches to address root issues, build insight, and support meaningful, lasting healing.

    Claire listened to me, understood me, Most therapist I've had does not look like they are listening. She does!
    I feel very comfortable talking to Claire about my depression and anxiety.
    Claire listens carefully. I am grateful to have sessions with her.
    Very helpful, nonjudgemental and always listens to me.
    I did not receive any confirmation or visit link prior to my appointment. When I called at the scheduled time, I was told the appointment still needed to be confirmed and that they would get back to me. Unfortunately, the appointment was lost due to poor communication.

    After I scheduled my visit on Monday, I got a phone call from the receptionist to verify information. After confirming, I got another phone call telling me my insurance wasn't covered, but they offered me the rates. Once I received the rates, they asked me if they should keep the appointment or cancel. I told them I'd keep the appointment but that I'd keep looking around for in-network therapists, after which I was informed that if I needed to cancel, I could via zocdoc. Then, today, when my appointment time comes, I get no email or text about my meeting link, but I'm still getting reminder texts about the appointment. When I called the office, the receptionist is extremely rude, telling me they had already spoken to me about them not taking my insurance and reminded me I had said I'd look for in-network therapists. When I reminded the lady that I said I was keeping the appointment, she claims to have never heard that part of our conversation & that they don't hold appointments.
