HSP Therapist

Ivy Griffin, LMFT

http://thrivetherapyandcounseling.com/

Ivy is a licensed mental health therapist (LMFT #51714) who is also a highly sensitive person and specializes in working with HSPs. She first heard of this trait in graduate school but didn't really begin to understand it until years later when working on her own private practice and recognizing that many of her clients struggled with similar fears and insecurities of her own. This realization started her on a journey of self-understanding, learning, and growth and has made her passionate about helping other HSPs and empaths work through their anxieties, grief, and traumas to embrace who they are and live their best lives.
