Whether you’re searching for trauma therapy in Florida, LGBTQIA+ counseling in Oregon, or mental health services near me, Griffin is here to support you with solutions tailored to your local community.

 

Serving Florida Clients

Florida is a place filled with diverse communities, vibrant cultures, and unique challenges. After spending 20 years living in St. Petersburg, FL, Griffin understands the specific needs of those living in the sunshine state, whether you’re seeking therapy to address post-trauma growth, manage stress from life transitions, or explore your identity in a culturally sensitive way, ensuring therapy feels connected to your environment.
 

Serving Oregon Clients

Oregon is known for its progressive values and tight-knit communities, but that doesn’t mean everyone feels fully supported. Griffin specializes in LGBTQIA+ counseling in Oregon, creating a welcoming and affirming space to explore identity, relationships, and mental health. 

​
