Sabrina Griswold, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sabrina!

I offer a warm, collaborative space to explore the patterns, relationships, and experiences shaping your life. My humanistic and existential approach emphasizes self-understanding, authenticity, meaning, and helping you move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

My focus

I work best with adults who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that keep showing up in their lives. I have a particular passion for working with women and supporting concerns such as anxiety, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, grief, identity, and building greater self-trust.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, curious, and individualized. I help clients explore patterns, relationships, emotions, and life experiences with warmth and without judgment, while drawing from humanistic, existential, attachment-based, and compassion-focused perspectives to support insight, growth, and meaningful change.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, candid, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest, while also offering thoughtful questions, reflections, and gentle challenges that help deepen insight and support meaningful change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy because I’ve always been interested in how people make meaning of their experiences, relationships, and identities. My work has deepened that interest into a commitment to creating a space where clients can feel understood, explore what matters most to them, and move toward greater self-awareness and authenticity.

My goals for you

I help clients turn broad concerns into clear, meaningful goals that reflect what they want to feel or do differently in their lives. We check in on progress together, explore what is helping or getting in the way, and adjust our focus as their needs and priorities evolve.

Our first session

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin making sense of what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what’s been happening, what you hope to get from therapy, and any patterns or experiences that feel important, while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
