Hi there, my name is Tiffany. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I studied Community Practice at DePaul University, where I attained my Masters of Social Work. During my career as a LCSW, I have gained experience helping a diverse group of people in all aspects of their lives. I am passionate about helping my clients with improving the quality of their life by providing a safe and judgement free space for them to decompress. Let’s face it, sometimes making the decision to seek therapy is not easy. In fact, it may be one of the hardest decisions you’ll make in your lifetime. I empower my clients and reassure them that they will not walk their therapeutic journey alone. I pride myself on being an empathetic listener and a collaborative partner during my client’s process of healing. Together, we work diligently to help you achieve the goals that you have for yourself.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
After your first session, you'll have a sense of empowerment and relief. You'll feel that you're taking a step in the right direction to improve the quality of your life. During our sessions not only will stressors/barriers be explored and better understood, but your knowledge of how to implement coping mechanisms will increase.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Because therapy is not a “one-size-fits-all” technique, I use an integrative approach in my practice. The modalities used, include, but are not limited to, EMDR, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused. I have experience working with adults who experience difficulty with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions, crisis, relationships, coping skills, and trauma.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As an LCSW, I have worked with children, adults, individuals, families, and groups. My strength is being an empathetic listener and empowering individuals to show up as their best selves. I ensure to provide psycho-education at all times, so that my clients have an understanding of their diagnosis and symptoms. I meet my clients where they are and respect that they are the experts of their life.
