Lydia Griffin, MSW, LCSW

Clinical Therapist

Lydia Griffin is a therapist at Advaita Integrated Medicine who is passionate about helping individuals heal from trauma, build authentic self-esteem, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. She provides affirming and inclusive care for LGBTQ+ individuals and strives to create a supportive environment where clients feel safe exploring their experiences, identities, and goals. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change is possible at any stage of life.

Lydia has experience working across multiple levels of care, including outpatient therapy and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) settings. She has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing a wide range of concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder, adjustment difficulties, and other co-occurring mental health challenges.

During her Master of Social Work program, Lydia completed her clinical training at a Veterans Affairs healthcare clinic, where she had the opportunity to support veterans and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences deepened her appreciation for resilience, adaptability, and the importance of individualized care.

Lydia utilizes an integrative therapeutic approach, tailoring treatment to the unique needs of each client. While she draws from several evidence-based modalities, her work is primarily informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and person-centered therapy. She enjoys helping clients identify their strengths, build practical skills, and recognize the progress they are making as they work toward creating lives that feel more aligned with their values and goals.

Outside of the office, Lydia enjoys baking, getting coffee with friends, needlepoint, and spending time with her miniature schnauzer.
