About Me
My name is Alina Griffith, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My counseling journey began while working with children on the autism spectrum. I remember watching one of the clinicians interact with such a gentle presence, patience, and respect. Something in me shifted in that moment. I realized I wanted to be that kind of space, a safe and steady presence for those children and anyone who needed it.
What started as a desire to be a source of comfort for children grew into a deeper calling. I understood that many people, regardless of age or background, long for a space where they feel safe, seen, and supported. That longing became the foundation of my work. Creating a nonjudgmental, open, and trusting environment is not just my goal; it is the heart of my practice.
I believe that healing happens when we feel safe enough to show up as our whole selves. That is why I work to create a space where you can speak freely, feel held in confidentiality, and begin to trust the therapeutic process in your own time and way.
My approach to therapy is compassionate and deeply individualized. I draw from various therapeutic modalities, choosing what fits best for each person’s unique needs. That may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help shift unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for building emotional regulation skills, or Person-Centered Therapy to provide an empathetic, supportive foundation. For those who benefit from creative, non-verbal exploration, I also offer SandTray Therapy, a powerful tool for expression when words fall short.
This integrative approach allows me to support a wide range of clients, from young children to adults, in a way that honors their pace, story, and lived experience. I intend to always meet you where you are, emotionally, developmentally, and humanly, with care and presence.
If you are curious about the counseling process or want to know more about how a particular modality might support you, I welcome your questions. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and your voice matters here.
