About me

As a licensed therapist in Nebraska, Iowa, and Florida I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges with compassion and cultural sensitivity. My practice centers on empowering clients through trauma-informed care, focusing on relationship dynamics, personal growth, and healing from challenging experiences.

I bring a deep commitment to understanding each client's unique journey, particularly supporting young adults, women, and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. My approach honors the intersectionality of personal experiences, addressing issues like self-esteem, life transitions, attachment, and emotional resilience.

My therapeutic work centers on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore self-love, overcome isolation, and develop meaningful coping strategies. I'm passionate about helping individuals process complex emotions, heal from past wounds, and cultivate a sense of purpose and connection.

With expertise in trauma recovery, relationship dynamics, and multicultural counseling, I strive to provide affirming, strength-based support that respects each person's individual path to wellness.

I was worried about doing therapy because I felt like I wouldn’t find the right therapist for me. However, after going through a couple of therapist. I found the right therapist for me (Sarika Griffin). I feel like I’m truly heard with her and supported. I would recommend her to my family and friends!

After starting counseling with Sarika I found a therapist who is honest, forthcoming, and knowledgeable. She will have the hard conversations that I need to hear all while being compassionate and kind.

Sarika is very attentive and really takes time to learn you as a person. She takes notes, listens very well and is always curious. She also provides great feedback and suggestions to help lead you to be the version of yourself that you want to see

I don’t know where to start. Sarika is kind, thoughtful, understanding, and amazing. She is extremely helpful, works through things with me, and reminds me that I am important. I have had multiple therapists in my life, Sarika is by far one of the best! I could not recommend her more!! 10 out of 10!

In only 2 sessions I have made a lot of progress and feel confident that continuing to meet with Sarika will help my relationship significantly. I am looking forward to working with her to better my life. She is a great listener and offers wise advice that does not come across harsh or judgmental, but informative and supportive. She gives good real life examples to help me better understand and she helps me feel like I’m not alone in my struggles. I am so thankful to have been matched with her and truly respect and appreciate her non biased advice! She is amazing.
