With over a decade of dedicated experience in the field of substance use disorders (SUD), I have spent the majority of my career specializing in co-occurring mental health and addiction treatment. I am a dual-licensed professional in the state of New Jersey, holding credentials as both a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT). This unique background allows me to provide comprehensive, integrated care that addresses the complex intersection of substance use and relational or systemic mental health challenges.
At the core of what I do is helping people build a different relationship with anxiety. Whether you’re an adult navigating OCD, a young person overwhelmed by social anxiety, or a mom lying awake at night replaying everything you said that day (and wondering if you’ve ruined your child forever), you are very much not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
I am licensed professional counselor. I provide a safe space to vent, explore your thoughts and emotions through life's stressors and uncertainties.
I am currently mainly working with female clients ages 15 and above who are struggling with anxiety, depression, generational trauma and family system complexity.
I am a licensed therapist in two states with 10 years experience in counseling. I graduated with my Masters in Behavioral Science majoring in Mental Health Counseling in 2015. I specialize in working with youth ages 5-19 and their families.
As a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey, I offer remote individual psychotherapy to adults. My approach is collaborative, and you are an active partner in designing your personal goals. I individualize treatment based on your presenting concerns/needs as well as your unique background and history. Based on my training and experience in a variety of treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I use an integrative approach to help you reach your personal goals, which may involve learning skills to manage life’s difficulties and developing greater understanding of yourself.
I have more than 15 years of experience working in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals and schools. As a trained pianist and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I also incorporate creative expression in my practice, and my speciality includes issues related to cultural diversity (e.g., LGBTQIA+, Asian American mental health, immigration). As a native of Japan, I am bilingual in Japanese and English, and offer services in both languages.

Hello and welcome!
I'm George Rosemond Griffith, a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. I believe that investing in your mental health is one of the most empowering steps you can take, so congratulations on being here. I've been practicing for 14 years, most of that time in an adolescent PH setting. I specialize in areas like substance use, anger management, anxiety, depression, and sexual trauma. Above all, I create a warm, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and build on your strengths. I'd be honored to walk this path with you.
With 30 years of experience working with people of all cultures and backgrounds, I believe that learning more about oneself is a gift for our inner health. Therapy can be an important resource for clarifying concerns and formulating strategies which could lead to positive choices. My approach is open, non-judgmental and interactive. Therapy does not need to be a long term process but can be an effective tool for developing better coping mechanisms. I have experience working with children and adolescents; and adults.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Clifton
Finding therapists in Clifton starts with understanding what kind of support fits what you want to address. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Their profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Clifton has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New Jersey while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, focus areas, and what sessions may feel like.
Therapy in Clifton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, check your coverage, and see your estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Clifton, review profiles, and book directly when you find someone who fits your needs.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
