Shelby Griffiths
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not like yourself lately, you’re not alone! Hi, I'm Dr. Griffiths - a clinical psychologist who works with children, teens, and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Reaching out for support can be difficult, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and not alone in what you’re going through. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, and I also enjoy supporting adults as they navigate life transitions, stress, and emotional challenges. I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-harm, eating disorders, and autism spectrum disorder. I’ve also worked in higher levels of care and with individuals transitioning from recent hospitalization, which has deepened my understanding of how important it is to feel supported during vulnerable times.
Shelby Griffiths, a licensed psychologist with over six years of experience specializing in the mental health and wellness of children and adolescents.
My approach is person-centered and collaborative. I meet you where you are and tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. I also incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building healthier relationships. Whether you’re seeking support for something specific or just know that something doesn’t feel quite right, therapy can be a place to better understand yourself and begin making meaningful changes. I’d be honored to be part of that process with you.
First session
In our first session together, I will gather information based on your current challenges. We will then create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Strengths
My greatest strengths as a therapist are compassion and knowledge of coping skills to help you meet your goals and improve your functioning.
Ideal clients
At this time, I am interested in working with adult, female clients experiencing eating disorders, mood disorders, or anxiety. I am also open to working with some substance use as well. Ideal client would also present with some insight and willingness to make some change or is somewhat motivated to change. I would best serve clients looking to develop more coping skills.
Treatment methods
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have been practicing DBT for the past 5 years. I utilize a combination of a skills-based approach and a person-centered approach to meet clients where they are at. I find this approach most helpful for individuals with depression and anxiety. However, this can be utilized with anyone.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
5 years. I utilize a combination of person-centered and DBT to meet my clients where they are at, while also challenging them.
