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.

Hi there and congratulations on beginning your therapy journey!

I am a licensed Clinical Social worker with over 3 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I aim to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have experience treating a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders and PTSD. Therapy is a big step, and I am so grateful you're here.

I am a compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10+ years of experience. My concentration was originally in Mental Health and Addiction with a Masters Degree in Social Work from Indiana University. I have additional training in Trauma Focused Behavioral Health, Specialized Treatment for Women of all ages including such areas as Post-partum Depression, and Intimate Partner Violence along with focused treatment for adolescents and adults with other mental health issues such as ADHD, and Anger.

Hi there! If you keep struggling and feel you have either tried everything or don't trust traditional therapy - I get it. Let's discuss a different approach...

I effectively treat anxiety, depressive symptoms, compulsive behaviors (sex, porn, OCD, etc), and most life challenges using Internal Family Systems (IFS) with EMDR.

IFS, or "parts work" is a revolutionary approach that's not the same as typical talk therapy. Couple targeted parts work with EMDR, and that is a powerful and effective trauma recovery approach that results in life transformation.

I offer an understanding, compassionate ear in a welcoming virtual setting.

I look forward to meeting you!

Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a deputy sheriff, firefighter, EMT, 911 dispatcher, and U.S. Navy Reserve member. That background shapes how I show up in sessions: direct, practical, and without judgment. I pursued counseling because I found I was genuinely good at helping people feel better, and I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, and difficult life decisions. If you have been waiting to talk to someone, I am glad you are here.
