Breona Dunlap-Griffin

I am licensed in both MD and OR. I do not believe in an ideal client. As humans, we are all unique and need different things to thrive, so I will work with you and your experiences to help you be your ideal self. Your experiences do not have to define you but can aid in personal growth in one way or another. If you are open to self-exploration with a mix-bag of feedback, I believe we can work well together. This journey is not always a pretty one but can be rewarding. I am able to assist my clients by providing a safe space for exploration to allow my clients to go through their feelings. At times I am able to help clients name their feelings, but I am just a passenger, supporting safe travel through an emotional/ mental outing.Allow me to help you through your next adventure, where you learn more about your strengths and abilities. At times, your dislikes are also your strengths.

I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based modalities to meet each client's unique needs. My work incorporates CBT to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors while building practical coping skills. I also use MI to support clients in exploring ambivalence, strengthening motivation, and making meaningful, lasting changes.

I'm a compassionate, real, and supportive therapist here to help you navigate life's challenges, build coping skills, and grow.
