Allan Griffith

Hi, I'm glad you're here. I know reading bios and choosing a counselor can feel overwhelming. I've been in seasons of my own life when I was looking for help, and I remember how hard it was.

For years I was stuck in my own mind and feelings, cycling through pain I didn't know how to name or escape. Counseling was where I learned I didn't have to carry it alone, and that the weight could be shared, understood, and changed. That experience changed me, and it's a big part of why I became a counselor.

I believe our emotions and behaviors often carry stories that want to be heard, not judged. Together we can explore those layers with curiosity and compassion, at a pace that feels safe. My work is trauma-informed, experiential, and shaped by family systems, and I draw on Internal Family Systems, existential and phenomenological psychology, and Classical and Ericksonian hypnotherapy.

I've counseled for more than 10 years in Brazil and the Middle East, with people in high-risk, high-mobility settings: tribal leaders in countries at war, ministers serving on the front lines, and many precious men and women I was honored to walk with. It would be an honor to walk with you too. I look forward to hearing from you.
