Tiffany Hanzal, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tiffany!

I work with people facing crisis, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, and post-traumatic stress. My approach is client-centered, exploring your unique needs with a holistic and integrated lens. Together, we'll find the right combination of tools to support your healing and recovery.

My focus

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, addiction, bi-polar disorders, PTSD, and those recovering from crisis or traumatic events. I welcome all individuals regardless of background, sexual orientation, or religious belief.

My approach

I use an integrative approach tailored to your needs. I draw from Humanistic and Client-Centered Counseling to create an empathetic, non-judgmental space; Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to manage how thoughts and feelings influence behavior; and Mindfulness-Based techniques to develop skills for managing emotional stressors.

My communication style

I create a space that feels safe, welcoming, and kind rather than sterile or clinical. I often use humor and relatability to build a non-judgmental, accepting, and empathetic relationship with clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've seen how hope, encouragement, empowerment, and unconditional empathy can ease emotional burdens. I'm honored to be part of the process that gives people the tools and strength to create the life they want and deserve.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as client-led. Goals and needs often change once recovery and healing start. I follow the client's lead while providing guidance and insight when needed to assist the client in identifying and navigating their needs and goals.

Our first session

Expect a friendly and non-judgmental session where we get to know your history, current needs, and goals for wellness and recovery.
