LCSW, 27 years of experience
New to Grow
Hey! I am Tiffany, and I want to thank you for checking out my bio! I am a LCSW with over 25 years of clinical experience. I and dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover healthier ways of living. I am licensed in 2 states (Tennessee and Florida). I bring both depth of clinical expertise and a compassionate, client-centered approach to my work. I am very involved with Neuroscience and how our brains are wired, because once we understand that, changing unwanted patterns becomes much easier. Over the years, I have witnessed how therapy can bring meaningful change to people's lives and help them break free from patterns that hold them back, heal from past wounds, and build stronger relationships with themselves and others. My goal is to equip clients with the tools, insights, and the healing that they need to experience lasting growth, resilience, and greater well-being.
Research has been done for many years on what the "most effective" therapeutic intervention is, and study after study confirms that it isn't a specific "intervention" but rather it is the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client. This relationship will be unlike any other in your life. It will be a safe and judgement free space for you to share and work through the issues that are holding you back or that need resolution. During our first few sessions, I will focus on building that relationship with you. I will want to understand what brings you to therapy, what you want to be different, and what is desired or important to you. We will work collaboratively to design goals and a plan that will work specifically for you.
My greatest strengths as a therapist lie in integrating neuroscience and trauma-informed approaches with gentle, effective techniques that support deep healing and change. I utilize memory reconsolidating and other evidence based methods to help clients shift long-standing unwanted patterns or beliefs to more of what is desired in their lives. At the core of my work is the creation of a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to move towards the lasting changes that they are seeking.
My ideal clients are adults who are navigating the weight of past trauma, grief, major life transitions, or relationship challenges. They may feel stuck in patterns of loss, pain or uncertainty. Many times my clients will tell me that they "know" something but how they "feel" about it is completely different. My ideal client holds a desire for growth, healing and resiliency. I work best with individuals who are ready to engage in a supportive and collaborative therapeutic process. It's ok if it is unclear on "how" we will get there, we can figure that out together.
Hypnotherapy is an effective tool in my practice as it allows the client to engage in a state of focused attention on what is desired. In this state of focused attention, clients can be more receptive and open to agreed upon therapeutic suggestions and can more fully embody what it feels like to experience new desired beliefs.
For those who are seeking to integrate sound clinical practice with Biblical principles, I offer Christian counseling services. This acknowledges that God, our creator, designed our minds, body, soul, and spirit, and that He has given us wisdom on how to deal with emotional challenges. The exciting news is that Neuroscience is now proving what the Bible has told us all along!
CBT is used in my practice to identify and challenge negative beliefs, and unwanted thought patterns. It has been proven to help break cycles of negativity and build resilience.
In grief therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to process the complex emotions and changes that follow a loss. I aim to encourage emotional healing, resilience, and the ability to find meaning and hope while honoring the memory of the person or relationship that was lost.
Solutions focused therapy is used in my practice to emphasize the client's strengths, resources and future goals. We will build on small achievable steps to foster hope, motivation and lasting change,
