Getting to know Thomas Griffith

I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist for over 20 years. Prior to that, I had careers as a principal and teacher in Christian schools and in ministry, mainly in the areas of youth and Christian education. My adult life has been spent in the helping professions, primarily working with young people, couples, and families. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Phoenix and a Master’s in Divinity from Western Seminary – San Jose, which have both shaped my approach to therapy and counseling. Personally, I am married with four adult children and three grandchildren. My children’s mother died when they were young, so I also have a stepson from my current wife. As a Christian, I prefer to incorporate the Bible and Christian principles into my counseling, though much of my career has been spent working for agencies where that was only allowed by special request. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is my main therapy modality, as I find it aligns well with faith-based therapy. Still, I use many other therapeutic approaches to best serve my clients. I believe that my many life experiences and the difficult situations I have faced enable me to empathize deeply with my clients’ needs. I seek to assist them in all areas, whether they are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, struggles with substance abuse, or interpersonal problems.
