I’m Kerri Griffin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience helping people move through life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge maladaptive thought patterns, increase awareness of the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop healthier coping strategies. Treatment focuses on recognizing cognitive distortions, building problem-solving skills, improving emotional regulation, and implementing behavioral changes that support symptom reduction and improved functioning. Interventions are tailored to the client's individual needs and treatment goals, with an emphasis on practical skill development and application outside of sessions.
Supportive
I utilize supportive therapy to provide a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly process emotions, life stressors, and personal challenges. The approach focuses on strengthening coping abilities, enhancing resilience, fostering insight, and reinforcing existing strengths. Through active listening, validation, encouragement, psychoeducation, and problem-solving, I help clients improve emotional functioning and navigate difficulties more effectively.
Trauma Informed Care
I utilize a trauma-informed approach to treatment by recognizing the widespread impact of trauma and integrating an understanding of trauma into all aspects of care. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment that promotes trust, empowerment, and emotional safety. Treatment is guided by the client's unique experiences, strengths, and goals while avoiding interventions that may inadvertently retraumatize the individual. I emphasize choice, autonomy, resilience, and skill development to support healing and recovery.
