Getting to know Maria Griffin

Hi there, I'm Maria! I seek to create a down to Earth and expressive space for those who feel ready to address concerns head on and who have desires for realistic solutions. My belief is that laughter truly is a wonderful medicine and when paired with effective collaboration, it can be one of the most powerful things on this planet. My focus I work with active adults who feel overwhelmed by the weight of life and the frustration of anxiety. We will create a plan that makes life more satisfying and generates a narrative that fits each client as a whole. My approach I use an integrative approach to the therapeutic space that addresses core events in childhood that often lead to the issues being experienced at present. Through the use of psychodynamic talk therapy and applicable theories like CBT, we are able to locate dis-ease at its root and apply skills to nourish the whole-self. My communication style I am very straightforward and honest. I believe that truth can be received with care and given with a smile. Humor is used often in my sessions and my inquisitive nature highlights my genuine interest in learning who clients truly are. My journey to mental healthcare It was actually through the support and encouragement of my students that led me to a more psychological route. Furthermore, experience with traumas and familial mental health solidified my desire to provide a safe and judgement free atmosphere for those who just need more support. My goals for you We will work together as a team to generate goals that match the reasons that brought you to therapy. Through non-judgement and realistic solution creation, we will make a plan that will set you up for success. Our first session I work at the pace of each individual client and seek to foster excellent rapport that will naturally lead to positive collaboration.
