About me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida with a PhD in Family Relations from The Florida State University as well as an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Kentucky and a BA in Psychology from The University of South Florida.

I understand that starting therapy can be scary and I strive to make your experience I positive one. I believe therapy should be a collaboration between therapist and client. You know your situation better than I do. I will combine my therapeutic expertise with your expertise about you, your family, and your situation to create workable solutions for you. I operate from an approach that draws on your strengths to help you and your family function the best it can!

I am an LGBT affirmative therapist with a passion for helping families. I specialize in working with parents, children, adolescents, survivors of trauma, and LGBT clients. I am also a certified Relationship Enhancement instructor.

Dr. Veldorale-Griffin provided me with the guidance I needed at one of the most difficult and transformational times of my life. She is an extremely qualified and invested individual, and creates a positive impact in the people that she works with. I am thankful that I got to work with her, and I’m proof of the benefits counseling with a professional, invested and ethical practitioner can have. I recommend Dr. Veldorale-Griffin to anyone who is willing to answer the though questions and change their situations for the better.
