About The Author

Steven T. Griggs, Ph.D.
A PSYCHOLOGICAL CORPORATION

I live with my son and wife of 34 years in Southern California. I’m a volleyball aficionado, having played over four decades. I have two offices that cover the San Diego North County areas, but I see almost all patients virtually.

Here's a little about my practice. I am an informal, low-keyed warmer fuzzier type. But I deal directly with problems, using CBT, emphasizing support/non-judgment. I'm pretty active in therapy. I'm not the kind of therapist who just sits back and doesn't contribute.

I work on anxiety and depression and lots of issues. My practice is filled with marital/relationship and employment problems. I fix self-esteems and teach people how to be assertive. I am a child psychologist, too, so I specialize in kid issues (acting out and general behavior problems, ADHD...).

Lately, I've begun writing ebooks (now sixteen) that help people master these psychology problems. There are three that typify ambivalence -- Procrastination, Guilt and Forgiveness. This is a NEW way of thinking. Ebooks are a great way to reach lots and lots of people very fast, providing them with effective ways to solve behavior problems. I've written two "real" books, both on Amazon, and have another three in editing.

I've come up with a unique way to measure one's Relationship Quotient (RQ). Think of the as your IQ in relationship skills. It's a tool to screen dating candidates, but also measure compatability with existing relationships of any length. This is a new concept and will be available around Christmas, 2026 at a new website: www.highrq.com.

In therapy I accept almost all managed care programs (EAP's, PPO's, HMO's EPO's), if that is best for the client. I don't use email or text because neither is timely nor confidential (NOT HIPAA compliant). But if you want to ask a question or suggest something, call me. Telephones and faxes are confidential.
