More about Cherita

  • LPCC

If I could write a letter to my younger self, I would tell her this: You are not broken. You are responding to what you’ve been through. And one day, your healing will become someone else’s hope.

Hi, I’m Cherita Griffin, MS, LPCC-S, NCC, CYT, SEL-F, C-DBT, CMIP, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Endorsement who has spent over 20 years supporting people through mental health challenges. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who deeply understands that healing is not just clinical… it’s personal.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master’s in Applied Behavioral Analysis, complemented by a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensic Psychology.

I’m also a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT), Social Emotional Learning Facilitator (SEL-F), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), and Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), allowing me to integrate both evidence-based practices and holistic approaches into the work we do together.

I specialize in helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves find their way back to clarity, confidence, and peace. Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and low self-worth, often feeling like they “know what to do,” but can’t quite apply it to their own lives.

In our work together, we don’t just talk, we gently uncover, process, and rebuild with a compassionate, real, and non-judgmental space.

This is a place where: • You don’t have to have it all together • You don’t have to carry everything alone • You can finally exhale

Healing is not about becoming someone new, it’s about returning to who you were before life taught you to shrink, question yourself, or survive in silence.

You deserve to feel whole, worthy, and at peace.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
