Joyce Griffin
Hello, thank you for visiting my Grow Therapy Page. Finding a good fit in a therapist can take effort and time. Congratulations on beginning the process. As your therapist I will provide a supportive non-judgmental and confidential space for you begin your healing. I work with clients on their chosen goals.
In addition to EMDR I also am skilled in DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing ,mindfulness and IFS or Internal Family Systems.
In order to create a safe space we might work on grounding, mindfulness and other resources in the beginning. My speciality is working with people who have experienced trauma/traumas in their lives. Trauma varies in severity and all type of trauma can lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I am a highly skilled Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner. I also am trained in many other therapy techniques. I also proved treatment for depression, anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder and other mood disorders.
First session
In the first session we will look at and answer any questions about the therapy process. We will gather information about you and past therapy, what worked and didn't work. We will look at your goals for treatment and develop a plan going forward.
Strengths
A strong therapeutic connection is the foundation of therapy. As an experienced therapist I establish this early in the process. I am engaging and focused on you and your issues. I am not afraid to get into discussion of painful memories. I have helped 100’s of people with their trauma using EMDR and trauma grounding skill. I emphasize self-care and self-compassion. Therapy can be a balance between self-acceptance and a willingness to change what isn’t working. Repetitive negative thoughts are challenging but with practice of skills you can begin decrease them.
