My name is Tiffany Libby, and I have 15+ years of experience, primarily focusing on helping women recover and cope with Narcissistic Abuse. Whether the abuse has happened in the past or is ongoing, is with your family or romantic partner, or anyone in between, I am here to help you navigate this unique and complex issue. I work with women from all cultural backgrounds to help them understand, process, and cope with the various traumas they have experienced. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent people in a way that speaks their language and helps make therapy effective for them.
In our first session, I will ask a few questions to get to know you and answer any questions or fears you may have about starting this process. It's important that you don't feel like you are starting from scratch so I like to know what works for you and what doesn't so we can save your time and energy, and not rehash unhelpful skills.
What many people don’t realize is that most therapists are not trauma-trained and have been diagnosing and treating people incorrectly, leading clients to feel that they are “too messed up to fix.” I have found that you have to be a particular type of therapist to treat this form of abuse because it’s not just about reading a book and taking some classes (which I’ve done), but living through it yourself. I believe because of my personal experiences of trauma, combined with my therapeutic experience, I have a unique ability to not only provide real techniques that work but can genuinely understand and empathize with your experience. Having a therapist you like, you trust, is very important to the outcome of therapy. I’m a person who has been through trauma, who knows surviving is messy and has made it through the other end, which means I may understand you in a way most therapists can’t.
I find that I tend to connect the best with women who have been through trauma as well as neurodivergent women. As a woman who has AuDhd as well as a trauma survivor, I am here to help you feel understood and supported in the unique way only someone who has lived this can. I also have been privileged enough to work with women from many diverse racial and cultural backgrounds and have been able to be an ally and support system to those who struggle to find a therapist that can help.
The more I learned about trauma, Complex PTSD, and Narcissistic Abuse, the more intimately it affected me. I wanted to be able to help people who had fallen through the cracks, and who had not gotten relief even after years of therapy. I also wanted to help the people who didn’t even realize they had been abused and blamed themselves for appropriate reactions resulting from years of trauma.
My goal is to help you understand the resiliency already inside of you and to utilize it to effectively cope with all of life’s ups and downs. With your collaboration, I tailor my approach to meet your needs, as I feel it is important to find what works for you, not what “should” work.
