Dr. Joyce A. Griffin
My approach to counseling is often didactic and is solution oriented. It is my opinion that clients come to counseling because they can not figure out what to do. So “teaching counseling” offers them new skills to use in their situation, as well as ideas to assist in coping in their world. I am somewhat eclectic in my approaches, realizing that everyone is unique, and one size does NOT fit all. I find a Cognitive Behavioral approach often encourages clients to set their own solution-focused path. I give feedback and assign homework tasks. I ask clients to join me in making a sort of treatment plan, and we work together on problem-solving. I periodically consult with trusted professional colleagues on a confidential bases, who practice outside of our local area. It is not my style to see what others have reported about their own work. I march to my own drummer and do what I believe is right in each situation. It’s fine with me if I am the only one doing it the way I do it.

Gwen Donley
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My clinical experience includes over 12 years of working with families, children, adolescents, and adults. Some of whom struggled with depression, stress, anxiety, relationships, PTSD, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. My professional training consists of a Master of Arts (MA) in Professional Counseling, and a MA in Pastoral Counseling. In addition, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Graduate Certification in Health Promotions, and I carried a certification in substance abuse counseling for seven years. Using a collaborative approach, helping clients reach their goals in personal growth and healthier relationships is an honor. Everyone has a story and sometimes that story is yet to be heard, still hiding behind hurt, shame, loneliness, anger and fear. Holding in such emotions can be harmful to one’s mental health. In serving 24 years in the United States Air Force engaging with people of all walks of life, I was convinced we all share similar struggles. Helping others learn how to navigate these feelings and offer a path toward hope, is the ultimate goal. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits and cognitive distortions. Meeting you where you are and helping you discover an inner strength to walk through life’s challenges, with the courage to face each day with confidence is the goal I seek. People are my passion, connecting them to Hope is my heart’s desire.
