My name is Kathleen Griffin and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I offer a genuine, compassionate and respectful relationship with clients, so they can reach greater self-awareness and insight. My goal is to help clients reach greater satisfaction and balance with their own quality of life, overall. Do you want to feel heard, seen and understood? If so, this is what you will feel when you work with me. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. Let's explore aspects of your life, make sense of your past experiences and create plans for positive healthy changes in your future. I want to help you to live the life you want to live, and I am here to provide you with the tools to do so. Together, we'll work towards gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, finding meaning in your life, self-acceptance, and empowerment. You'll learn to manage strong uncomfortable emotions and work through difficult challenges. My therapeutic relationship, with clients, would lend time for mindfulness and allow clients to attend to what is right here, right now. It would be an honor and a privilege for me to work with clients as they learn about themselves and follow their natural impulses toward wholeness, vitality and peace. I welcome you to start a confidential, supportive and healing conversation.
I enjoy playing with my bull terriers (dogs), walking in nature, international travel, exploring and immersing myself in a different culture and environment.
