Hi, I'm Dr. Shelby Griffiths, a licensed psychologist with over six years of experience specializing in the mental health and wellness of children and adolescents. I am passionate about helping young people navigate life's challenges with greater resilience, confidence, and hope. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting youth struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, suicidal thoughts, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and eating disorders. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to the unique needs of each child and family. I aim to create a safe, supportive environment where young people feel heard, valued, and empowered to make positive changes. I believe in working closely with families, schools, and other important support systems to ensure comprehensive care. Whether your child is experiencing emotional distress, behavioral challenges, or difficulty adjusting to new circumstances, I am committed to helping them—and you—find a path forward. If you are looking for a therapist who understands the complexities of growing up today and who will meet your child with warmth, expertise, and understanding, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can help your child build a healthier, more hopeful future.
