No matter what kind of challenges or difficulties or painful situations you go through in your life, we all have something deep within us that we can reach down and find the inner strength to get through them. Alana Stewart My name is Melanie Griffin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), practicing in North Carolina (#C11127). I am also licensed and have done extensive work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Connecticut (#007008). I have been a Therapist/ LCSW for over 12 years and take pride in the fact that I have worked with a diverse population/culture of people. I received my Master of Social Work (MSW), from Southern CT State University, I also hold a Bachelors (BS) in Public Health. I have done work in such areas as Forensics, Community Services, Crisis Intervention, Trauma, Mental Health and Addictions, Geriatrics, Adolescent Services and Family Reunification. I firmly believe in “Meeting the client where they are”. This, I believe has enhanced my role as a truly empathetic therapist and has helped me to understand the importance of Person-Centered Therapy. CBT is another theory which I strongly believe really works in therapy. I understand that reaching out for help can not only be scary, but for many it still holds a realm of stigma and shame, this is why I am so conscious of the therapist’s role of engaging with their client for the purpose of opening up the gates of trust, empathy and understanding. If I can help you in anyway, please reach out to me.

Hello! I’m a professional counselor licensed in Connecticut with over 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. Clients come to me for support with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, trauma, and parenting issues. I also have specialized experience in adoption and foster care, as well as working with first responders and individuals in high-stress roles. My style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and practical. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, honest, and human. I partner with clients to create goals that actually fit their lives—not a one-size-fits-all plan. I bring empathy and humor into the room, and I’m comfortable offering gentle (and sometimes direct) challenges when they’re helpful for growth. If you’re looking for a therapist who will support you, laugh with you when appropriate, and help you make meaningful changes, I’d be glad to work with you.
