Dr. Julie Griffin , LMHC

Dr. Julie Griffin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience. She completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees in clinical and counseling psychology at the University of Louisville, where her training focused on adult mental health, forensics, and a range of clinical disorders. She went on to earn a Doctorate in Psychology from Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky, broadening her work to include children, adolescents, and families. Dr. Griffin also holds certification in Applied Behavior Analysis and has worked directly with autistic and developmentally delayed children and teens in home settings.

Her career has spanned group homes, private practice, schools, prisons, hospitals, and community mental health programs, serving adults, families, children and teens, and those in substance abuse treatment. She has led anger management, family reunification, and parenting classes, and has experience with play therapy and family therapy interventions. Dr. Griffin’s training includes extensive work in trauma, substance abuse, and cognitive behavioral approaches.

She draws from a strength-based, individualized framework that encourages an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgment. Her approach blends practical therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s needs, aiming to help people balance mental, physical, emotional, and social aspects of their lives for improved functioning. Outside of clinical work she enjoys arts and crafts, games, and building with Legos, and she has incorporated therapeutic animals into some of her work due to their intuitive presence and calming effects.

Dr. Griffin values the opportunity to witness both challenges and triumphs in therapy and appreciates the courage it takes to begin treatment. She offers support and aims to earn the opportunity to hear each person’s story.
