Getting to know Dr. Frances Griffis
I am a clinical psychologist with 35 years of experience providing psychotherapy. My current private practice serves adults, with a specialty in geriatric psychology. I have practiced in Burlington, VT, Plantation, FL, Pompano Beach, FL, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and upstate NY. My approach to therapy is person-centered and cognitive-behavioral. I primarily offer an ear to listen to, a shoulder to lean on, and guidance on how to make your life better than it is. This may include a variety of other approaches and techniques.
My education includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, a Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology, and a post-doctoral Master of Science in Psychopharmacology. I like to say I have studied both the art and the science of psychotherapy.
My personal life provides a broad spectrum of experiences including having lived in cities, the suburbs, and in rural areas. I have been married, divorced, remarried, widowed, and have a very large family and extended family.
Treating depression, anxiety, grief & loss, chronic mental illness, family & relationship issues, and poor-self esteem are some of my areas of expertise.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The biggest thing a client can expect to take away from the first session with me is a sense of hope. Secondarily, they can begin to feel they are doing something right and are basically good people. These building blocks can then help them solved the specific issues they came to therapy to address.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
