Carri Griffin

Carri Griffin is a licensed clinical and macro-level social worker with school social work certification and more than 20 years of experience providing school-based services and therapeutic support in Michigan. She holds a master’s-level social work license in Michigan and has spent her career working with children, adolescents, and adults in educational and clinical settings.

Her clinical focus spans a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and family conflicts, parenting and intimacy-related issues, anger management, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and support for LGBT clients. She also has particular experience with educational disabilities and cognitive processing challenges.

Carri values the connection between mind and body and emphasizes the development of autonomy, healthy coping skills, and self-esteem as foundations for daily wellbeing. Her counseling style is warm and interactive, and she places the therapeutic relationship at the center of the work.

She approaches therapy without stigmatizing labels and works with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her clinical methods combine trauma-focused techniques, solution-focused strategies, and motivational interviewing, and she customizes conversations and treatment plans to match each person’s specific needs.

Carri believes that most people can benefit from engaging in therapy at some point to help navigate the changing and often complex experience of being human. She likens our connections to people, systems, and communities to a pebble dropped into a pond - small actions create ripples - and she helps clients identify what is within their control and build concrete plans to support improved mental health.
