Welcome, my name is Rhiannon B. Griggs and I have received a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University, where I specializes in cognitive-behavioral therapy and trauma-focus therapy. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of the intricacies of mental health, and I continue to stay abreast of the latest research and therapeutic techniques.
During our first session, we will start with a brief introduction which will help the client feel welcome, comfortable, and safe. Next, we will discuss expectations, the pros/cons of any previous experience with therapy, and client's history. Thirdly, I will start building alliance and help the client see if I am good fit. Then I will hear the client's story, so they can feel understood and collaborate a treatment plan. Lastly, I will answer any questions, and schedule a follow-up session.
I am guided by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and positive change. My mission is to facilitate that journey by fostering a collaborative and empowering therapeutic environment, where individuals can discover their strengths and unlock their full potential.
Rhiannon Griggs offers therapy covered by Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Virginia.
I am known for my integrative approach to counseling, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focus techniques. I believe in tailoring a treatment plan to meet the needs of each individual, empowering them to build resilience and develop effective coping skills.
