My approach to counseling is often didactic and is solution oriented. It is my opinion that clients come to counseling because they can not figure out what to do. So “teaching counseling” offers them new skills to use in their situation, as well as ideas to assist in coping in their world. I am somewhat eclectic in my approaches, realizing that everyone is unique, and one size does NOT fit all. I find a Cognitive Behavioral approach often encourages clients to set their own solution-focused path. I give feedback and assign homework tasks. I ask clients to join me in making a sort of treatment plan, and we work together on problem-solving. I periodically consult with trusted professional colleagues on a confidential bases, who practice outside of our local area.
It is not my style to see what others have reported about their own work. I march to my own drummer and do what I believe is right in each situation. It’s fine with me if I am the only one doing it the way I do it.

Dr. Griffin is the best therapist I’ve encountered! She’s solution-oriented, which is the best approach for someone like me, and she gets straight to the point about what things look like at their face and what needs to be done in the most simple manner. She does not make you feel bad about yourself or bad habits. She’s inspired me in such a short time to take my control back, and I’m so grateful to have been matched with her!

I love working with Joyce. She encourages and supports without pressuring. She gives me assignments and has helped so much with my spirituality. I struggle heavily with OCD/anxiety, I am also a sober addict and I would say I have anger to work on. Joyce offers so many suggestions and tools. She is great!! She is incredibly kind, and her kindness is sincere. She means a lot to me!

Dr. Griffin is great to work with. I always look forward to talking to her. She provides keen insight, and is willing to work within my framework of beliefs, assigning me Bible readings along with the typical mental health exercises. She always answers messages within a day. Dr. Griffin is truly a blessing!

I like how she relates my situation to her own situations she has experienced. I believe it’s best when your therapist has been down the road you’re going through. This way you personally feel a connection because if she made it, I know I can too.

Dr. Joyce is absolutely amazing! I feel so connected to her. She understands me and gives me another way to view my situations. Very compassionate! Fun to talk to. I trust her with my life. I've had 3 other therapists in my journey in life and I never felt as safe and comfortable as I do with her. Such a wonderful therapist. I appreciate every word! Thank you for everything ❤️

Dr Griffin has been amazingly helpful for me as I get back on the mental health rails after a rough pandemic experience.
At times my life has felt like a whirlwind - feels like I'm rediscovering my identity a little bit every day, and sometimes it's hard to know which way is up. Dr Griffin has helped me stay anchored, focus on what's important, and get through the erratic swings in anxiety which seem intent on derailing my career or relationship (they're not picky). She has been here for me nearly a year now, shared my excitement through so many good developments in my life, and been a voice of reason when I get caught up in my own thoughts.
Thank you, Dr Griffin! You've made such a difference for me, and I know my life wouldn't be where it is without our conversations.

Dr. Griffin is a great match for me and I feel blessed that she "chose" me. I appreciate her experience, compassion, insight and penetrating questions. I highly value her Christian perspective and her prayers. I feel I have steadily moved toward my goals. God is not done with me yet - even in my "senior" years there is still room for progress.

Dr. Griffin makes me feel heard and empowers me to find it within myself to achieve my goals. She is very easy to talk to and makes herself as available as possible. I would strongly encourage anyone in need of therapy to give Dr. Griffin a try

I found Dr. Griffin through my company’s program, and I’m writing this review because I’m hoping it helps you find her too. Dr. Griffin is amazing and she’s the bright light to my week. From my first conversation with Dr. Griffin, I really felt she cared about getting to know me. Speaking with her is so easy; she’s kind, compassionate and really listens to understand my story and journey. Dr. Griffin is helping me build upon myself to get through this rough patch in my life and I highly recommend her.
