Sara Griffith, LMFT

Sara Griffith is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Southern California with two decades of experience supporting children, parents, and families. She has focused much of her work on families with infants and young children, helping parents adjust to the demands of early parenthood and navigate the everyday challenges of caring for young children. Her clinical experience also encompasses anxiety, depression, family conflict, stress, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties.

Sara brings a positive, nurturing, and empowering counseling style that aims to help people move past stuck places and reconnect with their strengths. She draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, and she uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical steps forward. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach to support change, and she also incorporates mindfulness practices and experiential work when appropriate. Sara is familiar with 12-step recovery principles and supports clients facing a range of life transitions, including pregnancy and parenthood, maternal mental health concerns, grief, and the long-term effects of trauma.

Known for combining clinical judgment with practical insight and empathy, Sara works collaboratively with individuals and families to build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and address issues such as parenting, relationship conflict, attachment concerns, and mood disorders. She aims to create a space where clients can learn, grow, and tackle difficult challenges with support.
