Hi, I’m Tiffany! For over 10 years, I’ve been holding space for people to show up as they are—no masks, no apologies. I work with folks dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and stress. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey so you feel truly seen, supported, and never alone. My path to becoming a mental health provider started with a deep curiosity about the mind and a genuine desire to help people heal. Along the way, I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and gained experience in places like crisis centers, outpatient programs, and partial care—working with people from all walks of life. Over time, I found myself drawn to a more holistic approach to healing, which led me to become a yoga teacher and begin blending mindfulness, movement, and evidence-based tools like CBT and ACT into my work. I truly believe in the power of the mind-body connection. My goal is to support you in rebuilding self-love, resilience, and trust in your ability to navigate life and thrive.

Life transitions, relationships in flux, maybe you haven't felt like yourself recently. Navigating hard emotions that keep you up a night, or preoccupy thinking, might be holding you back from enjoying activities and relationships you once did. Reasons for seeking therapy are unique and individual to you. You are deserving of a therapist who will build a space for you to be vulnerable with your story and emotions. Together, we can build a path forward through empathetic processing, acceptance, skill building, and goal planning. Therapy is like a compass, it doesn't provide all the answers, but it provides direction. Focusing on your strengths, presenting problem, and future goals, our time together will be spent targeting false thoughts, realizing potential, and building trust in yourself.

I am most passionate about working through trauma and grief. I know what it is like to feel desperate. I know what it's like to wake up in the morning and wish I hadn't. I know what it's like to lose hope. And I know what it's like to gather bits and pieces of myself and seek professional help. With that help and through my faith, I've not only found hope, I have slowly put pieces of me together again. If I can find hope, if I can laugh and love again, you can too.

Welcome! My name is Ryan Rathman and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey. For the last 11 years I have been working with individuals who have experienced trauma in the early years of their lives. In this work I have helped individuals weaken the chains of trauma in order to help them begin to guide their lives back towards safety, joy, and fulfilment. As a trauma-informed therapist my primary goal is to help you feel safe again, and create a more efficient capacity to feel safe on a regular basis. While my work has primarily been with trauma survivors, often times this has also involved assisting with symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, mood swings, irritability, substance use, and many more. Regardless of the difficulties you are experiencing, our goal in working together is to empower you to have greater control over your life, guiding it towards the ideal future that you see for yourself. To speak more about myself personally, I received my Master's Degree in the great city of Pittsburgh! While there, I also became a husband and a cat-dad to my two rescue babies, Juni and Pep, who may or may not grace us with their presence during session. When I am not aiming to create more peace and joy on this earth through my clinical work, I often spend time doing various nerdy things like playing video games or tabletop games, binging sci-fi shows, or coming up with weird new dinner recipes. If you think that I might be a good fit as your therapist, schedule a session and let's dive in!
