As a licensed therapist in Ohio, I help adults navigate the complex emotions and transitions that come with modern life. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration — creating a space where you can reflect, heal, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship stress, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy during times of change — whether that’s navigating career shifts, redefining relationships, or rediscovering who they are after loss, separation, or burnout. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I work with you to uncover patterns, strengthen resilience, and build practical tools for lasting growth. My style integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with strength-based and solution-focused approaches, always tailored to your unique needs and goals. With an extensive background in clinical practice, I bring both expertise and genuine care to every session. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change — not just in how you cope, but in how you thrive.

If I could write a letter to my younger self, I would tell her this: You are not broken. You are responding to what you’ve been through. And one day, your healing will become someone else’s hope. Hi, I’m Cherita Griffin, MS, LPCC-S, NCC, CYT, SEL-F, C-DBT, CMIP, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Endorsement who has spent over 20 years supporting people through mental health challenges. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who deeply understands that healing is not just clinical… it’s personal. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Master’s in Applied Behavioral Analysis, complemented by a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensic Psychology. I’m also a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT), Social Emotional Learning Facilitator (SEL-F), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist (C-DBT), and Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), allowing me to integrate both evidence-based practices and holistic approaches into the work we do together. I specialize in helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves find their way back to clarity, confidence, and peace. Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and low self-worth, often feeling like they “know what to do,” but can’t quite apply it to their own lives. In our work together, we don’t just talk, we gently uncover, process, and rebuild with a compassionate, real, and non-judgmental space. This is a place where: • You don’t have to have it all together • You don’t have to carry everything alone • You can finally exhale Healing is not about becoming someone new, it’s about returning to who you were before life taught you to shrink, question yourself, or survive in silence. You deserve to feel whole, worthy, and at peace.
