Ezkiel Griffin, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ezkiel!

I am currently licensed as an LCSW who lives in Los Angeles, California. I have been practicing clinical social work for the past 9 years. My treatment areas are anxiety, depression, and personal trauma.

My focus

I work with individuals experiencing substance use, homelessness, severe mental health issues, chronic health issues, student issues, and intrapersonal conflict. I have experience supporting young adults, adults, college students, veterans, LGBTQIA individuals, geriatric clients, and disabled individuals.

My approach

Provides Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused therapy.

My communication style

I implement a humanistic, collaborative, and holistic approach to engaging clients in therapy. I like to be personable with clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a mental health therapist after learning that I enjoy helping people develop strategies to evoke change and balance in their lives while working at the microlevel.

My goals for you

I like to ask clients what their overall goal is and what their starting point is. Additionally, bring in things that have worked in the past, along with new ways of thinking and implementing self-compassion.

Our first session

We will begin the first session by gathering past psychosocial information.
