A place for those who find themselves wanting more
I'm Amy Griffo, a lesbian, non-binary therapist offering queer-affirming, trauma-focused therapy for adults in Washington, DC and Virginia.
For the parts of you that are changing & the parts that are still holding on
After the break-up and before the becoming.
After the church and before the self-trust.
After the diagnosis and before the treatment.
After the loss and before the light returns.
There's room here for your humor, your contradictions, and the things you haven't figured out how to say yet.
The systems you're living in and the ways you've been relating to yourself start to feel like they're not working. The monitoring, the adapting, the constant hypervigilance become overwhelming.
This is often where people come to me. When they can no longer keep organizing themselves in the same way.
I pay attention to how you are holding yourself together. How you stay functional, connected, and in control. How you make sense of yourself while doing all of that. And what happens when those strategies are no longer working.
My work is relational and somatic. I integrate EMDR, Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems depending on what is useful for what you're carrying.
Whatever brings you in, we start there.
