I have training in, child development, attachment theory, play therapy, mindfulness, infant and child-parent psychotherapy, perinatal and postpartum transitions, mind-body techniques, couples therapy and trauma-focused therapies.

Hi there! It's so nice to meet you.

I have been a therapist for 6 years and whether this is your first time trying therapy or not, it can feel difficult. Acknowledging you need help is one thing and seeking help is another so I'm glad you're here!

I partner with people experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction related coping and life transitions to identify and reach their goals. I am dedicated to serving the needs of the LGBTQ+ and broader community and am committed to creating a safe, accepting and supportive environment for those I partner with.

As a Master of Social Work–trained therapist, my experience in hospice and mental health has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges that come with grief, anxiety, and major life transitions. I work with adults ages 18+ and provide a warm, practical, and unhurried space where you can feel heard and supported. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way of the life you want and identify meaningful steps toward change. My goal is to help you build resilience, find clarity, and move forward with confidence.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin to affect your daily well-being. You don't have to face those struggles alone. With over 25 years of clinical experience, I help adults find relief, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment.

Hi, I’m Dr. Tonya Griffith, a trauma-informed therapist who works with teens, adults, and couples navigating the effects of trauma. I help you make sense of how past experiences may be shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships today—without judgment.

Together, we focus on building practical coping skills, stability, and a stronger sense of control in your life. My approach is compassionate, straightforward, and centered on your growth. If you’re ready to start, feel free to call or email me.

I am a therapist who understands that everyone’s mind works differently. When you know your mind works differently from other people, you need a therapist whose mind works differently too. I have 15 years experience working with:

Neurodiverse folks (adhd, autism spectrum, sensory processing issues, AuDHD), animal people, grief and loss related to pets and people, menopause, elders, introverts, empaths, those experiencing social anxiety, isolation and/or loneliness, chronic health issues, life changes (including menopause) and life purpose. I also have experience working with the Native American community.

Being a "pre-elder", I've led many chapters of my life and have learned from every single one (even the cringey ones). It has taught me to focus on what is truly valuable and fulfilling and how to be comfortable just being me. I hope these things are cultivated in the therapeutic relationship with clients. My own neurospiciness allows me to connect with others that experience the world in a different way than neurotypical folks do, and my love for animals and kindness makes therapy with HSPs, empaths, introverts and animal people more connected as well.

I hope my clients upon meeting me see that I am warm and welcoming and patient with their concerns and needs.

I hope they feel safe knowing I have 30 years in the field and will assist them in their journey with appropriate approaches to assist in reduction of symptoms and or learning more about who they are so they can navigate their life with better skills
