You've made an important decision to start therapy. I'm glad you're here. It has been said therapy with me is like talking to your "auntie". I will help you see yourself but in such a nurturing way you receive it, and it allows you to do your work. My gifting is in assessment and working with adults and couples. I have always worked in some form of mental health assessment in my career. Most recently I spent 5 years in Grady’s Psychiatric ER. Allowing me to quickly assess needs and develop a life plan with the client. Couple work is also a skilled area for me. Especially when communication has broken down evidenced by constant arguing. Therapy can break couples out of the destructive tit-for-tat cycle. Broken trust, infidelity and unforgiveness are also areas I specialize in. Women’s concerns and issues are important to me. I’ve done extensive work in healing their “father wound”. Tapping the spiritual relationship for healing. Topics include relationships, self development and growth. Another very successful service is my therapeutic walkthrough of popular books. Titles have included RC Blakes’ Queenology and Sophia Nelson’s The Woman Code. Currently, I am authoring The Majestic Woman Mindset, which comes from a woman’s empowerment curriculum I developed. TALK|THERAPY LIVE, is a podcast on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmxgzmGXbnqKKizcNu32WuA of educational videos and live broadcasts addressing behavioral health and relationships. Sometimes with special guests. I have been a helper/healer my entire career and looking forward to this season working with those I can help the most. So whether it’s life just happening, grief, a relationship starting or ending, relationship issues and specifically if there are struggles with depression, anxiety, or a disorder, REACH OUT…Success in life is about making good decisions. Starting therapy is always a great decision!!

Hi I am Kristie L. Griffin, LCSW, an eight-year, honorably discharged Army Active-Duty Veteran. I have over fifteen years of working directly with individuals who have experienced substance abuse, traumatic brain injury & chronic mental illness. I possess the knowledge, skills, abilities, and experience to provide comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, mental health treatment plans, and counseling services to individuals, families, and groups. Most of my experience always included case management. My social work experience and training have equipped me to comply with many treatment protocols, perform advanced treatment care planning (Nursing Home Placements), and serve as a cohesive member of a multidisciplinary healthcare team. I am also experienced in assessing and responding to patients who are identified as high- risk and may have urgent or acute care needs. As a clinical social worker, I am responsible for educating (and connecting) clients to the available resources and interventions. Referrals are made beyond the scope of social work practice. Ethics and beneficence are primary for the Social Work Profession. I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree (Specialization: Military Families) in Social Work from Troy University. In addition, I have one and a half years left of qualitative research remaining toward a Doctoral Degree in Social Work (Clinical Expertise) from Walden University (Graduation Fall 2026). My doctoral training has prepared me to learn and adapt to various roles. My leadership training has allowed me to master/refine and define professional and technical knowledge of clinical theories, ethical principles/practices, and evidenced-based modalities/ treatment plans as clinically indicated for adults and children. I am dynamic because I can work well in any environment!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from Fisk University, an HBCU. My Master's degree is from Argosy University in Atlanta. Throughout my career, my primary goal has always been to collaborate with clients and assist them in navigating through challenging times. Externally, everything may appear to be going well, but internally, challenges persist, making life difficult. Striving for perfection, grappling with past worries, and facing uncertainty about the future can impact various aspects of your life, including relationships with family and friends, hindering you from living authentically. Even if your professional life is thriving, interpersonal connections may be strained. My aim is to create a supportive space for you to heal from challenging experiences, ease your mind from persistent worries, and foster a sense of hope amid sadness. Whether difficulties stem from past events or unexpected circumstances, I am here to assist. With extensive experience helping individuals and families navigate tough times, discover their true selves, and regain a sense of normalcy, I am dedicated to guiding you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
