Rachel McGriff, LMHC, MS.Ed., CAS

MS in Mental Health Counseling from SUNY Oswego

Certificate of Advanced Study in School Counseling

Every one of us craves for something. We crave for more confidence, healthier relationships, less arguments and less stress. You might ask yourself that everything seems so much easier for everyone else. Unfortunately, technology has not made it possible for wishes to come from a genie that appears out of a lamp (as amazing as that would be.) To achieve a fulfilling life it takes  hard work and you don’t have to do it all by yourself.

As a therapist, I’ve worked with children, adolescents and young adults in a safe, confidential, non-judgmental environment. I have advanced training in person-centered therapy as well as DBT. DBT (or dialectical behavior therapy) is a therapeutic method that helps with finding techniques for emotional regulation. The goal of DBT is to transform negative behaviors into positive outcomes. Additionally, I have experience with working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, anger management, trauma, and career challenges.

So, whether you’re feeling lost, lonely, anxious or depressed don’t hesitate to reach out to someone who can help. I look forward to meeting you and helping you accomplish any range of goals you hope to achieve.

She has experience in both in-patient treatment and private practice.  Courtney has a wide range of experiences working with people of all ages in creating change for hope and healing. Clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and empathetic environment.

Courtney helps clients overcome current life stressor and work towards a healthier and happier life. She expertly partners with her clients in their healing journey and is genuine and supportive. Her greatest goal in counseling is to give children, teens, and adults the tools to cope with life’s challenges as well as the confidence in themselves to know that they can. Struggles with anxiety, depression, negative self-esteem, academic/work pressures, anger, and family/friendship/relationship issues can all seem that much more overwhelming when young. Courtney is passionate about helping young people and families manage these issues and helping to set them up for success.

She specializes in using a holistic Person Centered, Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge and change negative thinking patterns and to adopt healthier, more realistic ones.  Courtney believes everyone has strengths they can build upon while also working to improve areas of weakness. Courtney provides an environment where you and your child feel safe, accepted, and genuinely cared about. Together, you will create a foundation where self-exploration, and implementation of lasting positive change can occur. Your family will be supported along your child’s journey in working through life’s toughest moments and implementing new strategies to be successful. Courtney looks forward to helping you and/or your child embrace resilience in the face of life’s obstacles and to live life to the fullest.
