Lois Griffith, L.M.F.T. Couple’s Therapist, Fresno

Lois Griffith loves considering how to make the best sense of life.  She has a tenacious desire to see things clearly as they really are and to help you do the same.  When life appears to be more than you can cope with, there are usually vital pieces of truth missing.  Finding those pieces and operating more and more in reality and truth allows for understanding, growth and increasing freedom.Lois believes  every person is valuable and relationships are the great delight in life.  The complication is that they are often an instrument of deep wounding and confusion.  It is profoundly worthwhile and rewarding to keep growing in this area.
