Thank you for visiting today.
The decision to look into personal, couples, and family-life counseling, can be a difficult one. As a personal growth and relationship-oriented therapist, my goal is to work together with you in a respectful and curious manner regarding the challenges you now face in your committed relationships, and your work-life circles. I want to learn the ways that are working well for you and others, and some of the ones that seem to be limiting or negatively effecting you and/or those you love and serve. We will be looking to find your own best path through them, and being your best self-possible in them, now.
Together, I’ll first want to learn more about you and your story, for that will inform and make connections for us in everything that follows. For our story is informed by how we have come to understand and think about ourselves, others, and life, and how we have learned to interact and utilize the internal & external resources we have to live life well. We will be looking for ways to find less fault with others, ourselves, and our circumstances, while exercising a healthy sense of personal power, that empowers those we travel & work with too. We’ll see ways to more objectively own these realities in our lives, without giving up our necessary personal power and voice, nor others’ theirs. The aim here is to better support one another’s best life-possible, in our everyday relating and supporting of one another.
Jay Griffith, IMFT, provides his counseling services, to Individuals & Couples, under the company name of “Restorative Solutions Now.” He maintains a local, private practice, here in Newark, Ohio, at the Newark Church of the Nazarene, on Williams Street. His focus is in providing a more holistic approach to therapy that considers: 1) the emotions that are connected to our historical streams of thought and self-image, 2) the thoughts themselves, 3) the often reactive behaviors we then live out as a result, and 4) the levels of consciousness and spiritual energy (of fear &/or love) that we engage people and life with, in how we are with and for one another when we are with them, or within ourselves, moment to moment, each day we live, and circumstance or challenge we face.
