Hi there, I'm Tiff. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with close to 20 years of helping profession experience. My hope is as your therapist to be a breath of fresh air during this difficult time. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity and compassion. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, empathetic space where you feel comfortable and safe. I have worked with all age groups including adults, older adults, kids and teens. I specialize in grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, ADHD, mood disorders, anger and stress management.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, you can expect questions from me to help to identify what goals you would like to work towards as well as just getting to know each other. The therapuetic process takes time and therapy is about building relationships and rapport. Trust is so important in therapy and this does take time. Over time, we will work to create goals for you together and identify a realistic timeline for treatment. Your goals will be discussed often in your sessions and altered as you see necessary. You are in charge of your treatment and recovery.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a strength-based approach with the help of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Therapy, as well as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I also offer Family Therapy when the client feels that there are certain issues that would be best worked out in a family setting.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My approach to therapy is warm, interactive and accepting. My biggest strength is my ability to connect and build relationships with individuals on a deeper level. I create an environment where clients feel comfortable, safe and empowered. I am truly interested in wanting to help you in your recovery to have a happier, healthier life today.
