Dr. Veldorale-Griffin provided me with the guidance I needed at one of the most difficult and transformational times of my life. She is an extremely qualified and invested individual, and creates a positive impact in the people that she works with. I am thankful that I got to work with her, and I’m proof of the benefits counseling with a professional, invested and ethical practitioner can have. I recommend Dr. Veldorale-Griffin to anyone who is willing to answer the though questions and change their situations for the better.
