Getting to know Shakeema Griffin

I’m a trauma-informed therapist who works with adolescents and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. My professional journey began on the front lines of care — working in a crisis nursery with children from birth to age 10, supporting adolescents as a Youth Specialist with Boys Town, and assisting young mothers as a case aide in a residential setting. These early roles shaped my deep understanding of how early experiences, chronic stress, and systems involvement impact emotional well-being across the lifespan.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and harm-reduction principles, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs, goals, and lived experiences.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. With consistent work, many clients develop stronger coping skills, healthier boundaries, and greater confidence navigating relationships and transitions into adulthood.
