LCSW, 6 years of experience
Hello! My name is Tifanni Sanabria and I am a Licensed Clinician Social Worker in the state of California. I have experience working with children, adults, couples and families using trauma-informed practices. If you need a safe space to unpack how trauma impacts your daily life and feel better you can come to me. I combine my clinical training with an ecological model, recognizing how systems of oppression impact our mental health. Let's grow together!
On our first session clients can expect to review expectations for working together, their needs and what I can offer to support. The intake does have a lot of questions to answer, but I try to weave these questions into normal conversation so it doesn't feel robotic or intrusive.
My strengths come from my experiences as a clinician. Once meeting me you'll find that I'm easy to talk to because I recognize that you are the expert of your own life. I try not to assume I know what is best for someone else and humbly acknowledge the pitfalls in the field of psychology. I encourage everyone I work with to find a therapist that you can feel open and honest with, because that is truly the most important part of therapy; the relationship you have with your therapist. I hope it is with me, but if it is not I will support you in finding a therapist who will meet your needs.
I love to work with adults of all ages who want to work through anxiety, depression, trauma or current life challenges. If you need a therapist who is open, honest and addresses symptoms from a systemic lens we would work well together.
Many of my clients enter therapy due to new or unresolved trauma that has long lasting effects which contribute to symptoms of anxiety and depression. I adjust my treatment modalities to be trauma informed in order to address underlying experiences that impact current functioning.
For clients with anxiety and/or depression, I utilize methods of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to connect how our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are interconnected. I strive to address irrational thoughts, while simultaneously validating normal human responses to experiences which cause this type of thinking.

I’ve been to therapy throughout my life, but none of my previous experiences compare to Tiffani. She is absolutely incredible, caring, kind, smart, funny, and more - she has been the best therapist for me! I’ve had a lot of self growth opportunities since meeting Tiffani, and she’s been so helpful with empowering me. I truly see the impact our sessions have on me as a person and with my outlook in life on a daily basis. I’m very grateful and honored to be one of her clients.
