Introduction

I’m Shanira Griffith, a licensed clinical social worker and holistic therapist based in New York, offering virtual therapy for adults across the state. I specialize in helping high-functioning men and women navigate anxiety, burnout, depression, overthinking, self-esteem issues, and relationship challenges. My approach blends evidence-based methods like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SBFT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness practices. I work best with clients who look like they have it all together but feel emotionally exhausted inside. Whether you’re the strong friend, the perfectionist, or the people-pleaser, our work together will focus on breaking harmful patterns, regulating your nervous system, and reconnecting with your most grounded, authentic self. My practice is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and rooted in the belief that healing is not one-size-fits-all. I provide a space where your lived experiences, identity, and voice are honored so you can heal without performing. If you're ready to move from surviving to thriving, I’m here to help you build clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.
