Hello I'm Dr. Travis Griffith, I'm licensed in the greater state of California. My approach to helping others is rooted in humility and the practice of radical acceptance. I am just like you; I am a human; I have been through some challenges. I love tv, movies, books, and music. I pride myself on meeting the client where the client is and creating a blueprint for progress from there.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Guide to What to Expect in Your First Therapy Session and the start of Therapeutic Journey Part 1 (Intro Session) Introduction and Welcome: I will begin the session by welcoming you and introducing myself. I will briefly explain their therapeutic approach and how the sessions will be structured. This is also a chance for you to ask any initial questions or express any concerns you may have. Breaking the ICE: I will create a safe and supportive environment, aiming to build rapport and establish trust with you. Confidentiality and Limits: I will explain the confidentiality policy and its limits. We will discuss my responsibilities and commitment to keeping your information confidential unless there are legal or ethical obligations to disclose specific information, such as if you or someone else is in immediate danger. It's important for you to understand and feel comfortable with the confidentiality agreement and my mandating reporting obligation. Part 2 Gathering Information: To better understand your background, current concerns, and goals for therapy, I will ask you questions about your personal history, relationships, work or school, and any symptoms or challenges you are experiencing. It's important to be open and honest during this process. Please keep in mind that I use this patient intake method with all my patients. So, some of the questions may not necessarily apply to you. Exploring Your Concerns: I will invite you to share more about the specific issues or challenges that led you to seek therapy. During this activity I encourage you to express your thoughts, emotions, and any patterns or behaviors that may be relevant to your concerns. Remember, therapy is a nonjudgmental space for you to share openly. Concluding the evaluation: I will wrap up with going over what the Therapeutic Journey might look like for you going forward. Having taken the time to get to know you I will determine if I have the skills and techniques you will require for your transformation. We together will decide if this platform and I are an appropriate fit for you. I will provide you with some tools, technique and or worksheets for you to start building your tool kit. I will ask you to join me in the commitment in your therapeutic journey. Keep in mind this entire process is for you and your well-being. All I ask is if we decide I or the platform aren't the best fit for you, don't give up, locate what works for you. You will have my complete support. On

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

When reflecting on my greatest strengths as a provider, several key qualities stand out that contribute to effective, compassionate, and client-centered care: 1. Empathy and Compassion I deeply value creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. This empathetic connection fosters trust and safety, which are essential for meaningful therapeutic work and client growth. 2. Strong Clinical Knowledge and Versatility I bring a solid foundation in evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, EFT, and sex therapy, allowing me to tailor treatment approaches to each client’s unique needs. This versatility enables me to address a wide range of mental health and relational issues effectively. 3. Collaborative and Client-Centered Approach I prioritize working collaboratively with clients, empowering them to take an active role in their healing process. By honoring their values, goals, and perspectives, I help clients develop personalized strategies that resonate with their lived experiences. 4. Effective Communication Skills I am skilled at facilitating open, honest conversations about sensitive topics, helping clients articulate their thoughts and feelings clearly. This strength supports deeper insight, problem-solving, and stronger therapeutic alliances. 5. Commitment to Continued Learning Mental health care is constantly evolving, and I am dedicated to ongoing professional development. Staying current with research and new therapeutic techniques ensures that I provide the highest quality care. 6. Cultural Sensitivity and Inclusivity I am attentive to the diverse backgrounds and identities of my clients, striving to create an inclusive environment that respects cultural, gender, and sexual diversity. This sensitivity enhances rapport and relevance of treatment. In summary, my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my empathetic connection, clinical expertise, collaborative style, communication skills, commitment to growth, and cultural humility—all of which combine to support meaningful, lasting change for my clients.
