Katherine Griffin, LICSW,
Have you or your teen ever read broad, one-size-fits-all advice online and thought: “This sounds like me, but now what?” Many families find themselves validated, but without the tools to create real change. That’s where I come in.
I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Educational Therapist with specialized experience helping children, teens, and young adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and learning differences. My approach combines clinical therapy with educational support, allowing me to address not only emotional well-being but also executive functioning, academic skills, and the daily challenges that shape growth and self-confidence.
In our work together, I draw from CBT, DBT-informed strategies, play-based approaches, psychoanalytic techniques, and parts work to help clients tune into their bodies, name emotions, and uncover the “why” behind their experiences. Sessions are personalized and collaborative, with the option for both short-term intensive therapy (for families seeking faster progress) and longer-term support.
I believe kids and teens thrive when therapy connects to their real-world environments—school, peers, technology, and home. My role is to bridge these pieces and empower clients to better understand themselves, build resilience, and develop the skills they need to succeed both academically and emotionally.
