Getting to know Joyce Griffin
Hello, thank you for visiting my Grow Therapy page. Finding a good fit in a therapist can take effort and time-congratulations on beginning the process. As your therapist, I will provide a supportive, non-judgmental, and confidential space for you to begin your healing. I work with clients on their chosen goals. To create a safe space, we might start by working on grounding, mindfulness, and other resources. My specialty is working with people who have experienced trauma in their lives. Trauma varies in severity, and all types of trauma can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I am a highly skilled Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner and am trained in many other therapy techniques. I also provide treatment for depression, anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder, and other mood disorders. I hold a Master's in Social Work from San Francisco State University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe self compassion is something most people can develop. People with PTSD often have a strong inner critic. By mindfully noticing these negative thought distortions you can begin to challenge them. I will teach you skills and practices that can help improve your self perception. EMDR can decrease flashbacks, nightmares and take the power out of traumatic memories.

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.
