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.
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.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are compassion and knowledge of coping skills to help you meet your goals and improve your functioning.
I am passionate to serve children and adolescents struggling with mood disorders (e.g., anxiety and depression), as well as eating disorders.
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.
