Individual & Couples Therapy for Adults

The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying small stones.

- Chinese proverb

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel powerless and defeated because life seems to be happening to you? Do you have trouble letting go of unhealthy parts of your life? Do you desire to live a more fulfilled, peaceful life but are having trouble getting there? 

Well, I can help. My name is Dr. Julie Griggs. I am both a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP). I am a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor.

My specialty is helping clients feel more empowered and fulfilled in their life. I believe the counseling journey is a collaborative endeavor and healing happens in relationship to ourselves and with others. Together, we will face the challenges in your life and work to resolve them as we seek to uncover your true potential. 

Beginning the therapy process takes courage, hope, and self-determination. I am in awe of my clients who take the brave step to seek transformation, increased self-awareness, and healing. I consider it an honor to walk with you as you untangle yourself from what is holding you back and experience more and more freedom. 

I have a Ph.D. in Human Development & Family Studies from the University of Connecticut. In addition, I have a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from University of Connecticut and a M.Ed. in Human Development Counseling from Vanderbilt University. I have been in mental health for almost 20 years working in Hawaii, Connecticut and Tennessee. 

In the psychology and counseling field, I have co-authored academic journal articles and book chapters, taught Introduction to Psychology as adjunct faculty, trained at an addiction treatment facility, and worked in medical family therapy at a family medicine clinic. 

Today you are one step closer to a more fulfilled, meaningful life. The road is not easy but the outcome is priceless.
