About Sam Griggs

Hi, I’m Sam 🙂 I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Supervisor in Missouri with over a decade of experience supporting children, teens, and adults. I often work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, and other life challenges.

My approach is client-centered and collaborative, incorporating tools from CBT and motivational interviewing to help you better understand your thoughts, build practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your growth.

If it sounds like we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect with you.
