Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Southfield, MI

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.

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!

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.

As a compassionate and experienced therapist, I specialize in working with children and teenagers to navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also work with neurodivergent children.

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to each client's needs, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Play Therapy.

I am here to support you and your family on your journey to healing and growth.

I’m a dual-certified psychiatric (PMHNP-BC) and Adult-Gero Primary Care (NP-C) nurse practitioner with 17 years of experience across a variety of healthcare settings. My clinical education includes a Master of Science in Nursing and post-graduate certificate from the University of Michigan-Flint. I treat clients age 13-65 with a variety or mental health conditions, but I especially enjoy working with middle-aged adults struggling with life and health transitions.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your emotions, or constantly fighting your own mind, you’re not alone. Many teens and adults I work with describe racing thoughts, intense feelings, difficulty focusing, or patterns that feel impossible to break. Whether it’s anxiety that won’t quiet down, depression that drains your energy, ADHD that makes daily life harder than it should be, or trauma that still echoes in the present—I help people find steadiness, clarity, and confidence again.

I am actively welcoming new clients who are looking to do EMDR therapy.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, respected, and understood. I bring warmth, curiosity, honesty, a sense of humor, and directness into my work, while recognizing that healing from trauma is complex.

I see you as a whole person, not a diagnosis or a collection of symptoms. I value collaboration and autonomy, and I want you to have a voice in what we focus on and how we work together.

I also understand that culture, identity, relationships, and lived experiences shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us. As a Chinese woman who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I carry my own unique lens of how the world works, and I welcome all of the lenses and identities you bring into the room.

I am also a cat mom, I have two fur babies that might join our session at times :)

Hi. I'm glad you're here. The decision to ask for help is a brave and difficult choice, and I'm proud of you for making it. I might be a good fit for you if you're looking for someone who has been where you're at. In addition to my own experiences with mental health and life challenges, I have worked in substance use disorder treatment, inpatient psychiatric treatment, and community risk assessment/management.
