I’m Dr. DJ Griffith, a queer, neurodivergent therapist and educator with a PhD in Counseling Education and Supervision. Through PhDeej Psychotherapy, Consulting, and Supervision, I bring clinical expertise, lived experience, and a no-nonsense approach to therapy, consultation, and supervision.
At the core of my work is the Coexistence Framework—my approach to helping people hold conflicting truths, identities, and emotions without collapsing into black-and-white thinking. Whether it’s clients navigating trauma and self-worth, professionals managing burnout and compassion, or systems trying to do better, my work centers on integration rather than resolution. I support people in learning to tolerate ambiguity, repair internalized harm, and re-author their lives with both self-compassion and accountability.
My therapeutic approach draws on evidence-based modalities like ERP, DBT, CBT, EMDR, and ETT—but technique alone doesn’t drive the work. I bring attunement, adaptability, and clinical precision, especially in the context of complex trauma, OCD, neurodivergence, and substance use. I’ve spent years in crisis response and assessment work, and I understand how to meet intensity with clarity.
My dissertation research on microaggressions toward non-binary counselors deepens my commitment to culturally responsive and identity-affirming care. This research informs the consulting and supervision work I offer to therapists, clinics, and organizations who are ready to think beyond checkbox DEI and toward actual systemic change.
If you’re seeking grounded therapy, sharp consultation, or affirming supervision, I offer real conversations, no posturing, and a focus on what connects us—not what divides us.
