Getting to know John Griffin

As an ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), I offer evidence-based, neurodivergent-affirming therapy tailored to the specific ways ADHD shapes attention, motivation, impulsivity, and self-esteem. I work exclusively via telehealth, which means I can see adults anywhere in Massachusetts. My clients often describe feeling caught in a constant struggle with their own mind. Procrastination, self-doubt, overthinking, emotional dysregulation are common experiences. Together we work to build practical skills and develop a more grounded, confident sense of self.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I take a relational stance in working with my clients, working to provide a safe and calming space where we can explore the challenges they are facing. As someone living with ADHD, I can understand the pain of being misunderstood, and strive to make sure my clients feel seen and heard.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin by getting to know one another, exploring the experiences that have shaped you and building the kind of trust that makes real work possible. I draw on CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and ACT depending on what fits best for each person. Sessions are ongoing and the approach adjusts as we go, and if something isn't working, we talk about it and change course. Most clients come weekly, at least at the start. I offer morning, afternoon, and evening availability on weekdays so scheduling is flexible.
