Tiffanni Downey
Hi! I'm Tiffanni! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and have experience working with children, teens, and young adults for over 8 years. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree from The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg and my Master's Degree in Professional Counseling from Carlow University. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental space tailored to each client's unique needs. Outside of work, you can find me hiking with my dog, gardening or baking anything sourdough!
First session
In our first session, you can expect getting to know each other and ensuring that working together feels like the right fit for you. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, any questions/concerns you might have, and your therapeutic goals. I will explain my therapeutic approach and together create a structured plan to meet your goals.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a therapist is meeting the clients where they are and genuinely curious about each individual. I want clients to feel comfortable expressing themselves and to be able to heal and grow at their own pace.
Ideal clients
I am passionate and dedicated to working with children/teens/young adults who are navigating life and the challenges that come with it such as life transitions, school, relationships, self-esteem, and emotional/behavioral challenges. Together, we will work to have a better understanding of thought, emotion, and behavior patterns, build healthier coping skills to reduce symptoms and to create meaningful change in life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have experience using CBT for 8 years. I use CBT to help clients gain insight to unhealthy thought patterns by identifying and replacing negative and unhelpful thoughts with more balanced thoughts.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I have experience using DBT in therapy for 8 years. I use DBT to help clients manage intense emotions through core mindfulness, non-judgemental awareness and DBT skillsets.
Motivational Interviewing
I have experience using motivational interviewing for 8 years. I use motivational interviewing to help clients explore their own thoughts, strengths and understanding of themselves in order to create meaningful change in their lives.
