Tiffany Cortese
Hello! My name is Tiffany and I am the founder of Honey & Twine Counseling. I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in providing trauma-informed and survivor-centered care to clients impacted by sexual violence, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking, and complex intergenerational/developmental trauma.
In addition, I have specific knowledge and experience supporting survivors with developmental disabilities, and survivors within the LGBTQIA+ community.
I hold a Bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in Social Work and Theater and a Master's degree in Social Work from NYU with a specialization in Integrated Youth Behavioral Health. Additionally, I am currently in the process of recieving my doctrate in social work at Rutgers University, with a concentration in power based personal violence and drama therapy.
First session
For our initial session, you can expect me to ask you a series of in-depth questions designed to get a better understanding of who you are as a human, your story (past, present, and furture), what brings you into therapy, and what you hope to gain throughout our work together.
Strengths
I completed 80+ hours of training to receive my certification as a sexual violence and domestic violence crisis response advocate in 2015. In 2020, I became re-certified as a sexual assault counselor in California through Rape Trauma Services (RTS). I have 6+ years of experience in providing crisis counseling and direct therapeutic support to survivors of power based personal violence and their families from various backgrounds and cultures. In addition, I have specific knowledge and experience supporting survivors with developmental disabilities, and survivors within the LGBTQIA+ community.
Ideal clients
I See You, I Hear You & I Believe You. Like honey & twine….. love, abuse, power, and control can all too often become entangled in very complex and enmeshed ways. At Honey & Twine, we specialize in helping you slowly begin to unravel all the narratives that have become stuck over time, unleash all the chaos that the body has stored due to being in an ongoing traumatized state, and support you in unlocking your potential to live a fulfilling, healthy, and whole life.
