Dr. Jasmine Griffith believes that to counsel another is a great thing, but to be a counselor is honorable work. This belief underpins her clinical practice. As a licensed resident in counseling, she has clinical experience in community, private practice and integrated behavioral health settings, providing psychotherapeutic care to adolescents and adults with diverse mental health concerns and social determinants of health issues.

In addition to her clinical work, Griffith has five years of experience teaching and supervising students in master’s-level counseling programs as an adjunct professor and full-time faculty member. She takes pride in her role as an educator and follows a core leadership practice of empowerment. This approach allows her to facilitate collective wisdom, attend to the needs of her students and help them use their voices beyond the classroom.

As a critically engaged researcher, Griffith investigates cultural and social factors affecting historically oppressed and marginalized communities, with a focus on social determinants of health, academic employment and belongingness. Grounded in advocacy and a commitment to systemic equity, her scholarship has resulted in numerous publications and awards, as well as grant funding from the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES), the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) and the Journal of Human Services Scholarship and Interprofessional Collaboration (JHSSIC).

Griffith is a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA), the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES), Counselors for Social Justice (CSJ) and the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS). She also serves on a climate and environmental justice task force for ACES. Through these leadership roles and organizational memberships, she has contributed to grant reviews, program-led initiatives, instructional webinars, professional presentations, mentorship, volunteer efforts and outreach. Her work supports informed counseling and education practices, educational advancement and community impact within the counseling field.
