About Mary Griffith

As a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience, I provide compassionate, holistic support to individuals navigating complex life challenges. My practice centers on understanding each person’s unique journey, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and life transitions.

I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors diverse experiences and identities. My approach is rooted in empathy, cultural responsiveness, and evidence-based practices that empower clients to explore personal growth, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful coping strategies.

My professional focus spans a wide range of concerns, including social anxiety, self-love, communication challenges, workplace stress, and multicultural experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to unpack complex emotions, build resilience, and cultivate authentic connections—both with themselves and others.

Through a person-centered lens, I support individuals in understanding their inner landscape, confronting barriers, and moving toward more fulfilling, intentional lives. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine care, respect, and professional guidance.

For most people, seeking counseling is a giant step and it takes a lot of courage. If you are ready to work on having a more meaningful life, I am here to support and encourage you. I look forward to working with you!

“Mary has been so helpful with my situation. I feel that all the exercises she gives me are very useful, and my depression symptoms have pretty much disappeared. <br /> <br /> When I came to her in the winter, I was barely functioning in life. Just through chatting with her, and working on the exercises she gave me, I feel like a completely different person. <br /> <br /> Mary is compassionate, but straightforward. She is very understanding, and excellent at getting me to talk.”

“Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.”

“Mary is honestly one of the best I’ve ever had on my team for mental health help. <br /> I’ve had a lot of therapists who were beyond qualified to help me and they would deny my case, criticize my problems and even quit on me. <br /> Mary is very professional but yet talks in a way that I understand and I don’t feel like I’m being judged or looked at any kinda way. <br /> I am confident in the ability she has to help me and I’m very happy to have her on my team! She gives me hope and faith that mental health is something that I don’t have to struggle with alone anymore. <br /> I can’t wait to see the progress I can make with her behind me!!”

“Mary is the ray of sunshine I needed to help me out of my funk. She is so sweet, but also calls you out on things that you need to work on. She listens with compassion, and takes each problem, analyzes it, and offers exercises and tips on how to work on them. <br /> <br /> Her glowing personality makes me feel comfortable talking to her, and her compassion and understanding takes the edge off talking about difficult things. <br /> <br /> I highly recommend her! 100%”
