Tiffany Hanff, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tiffany!

I'm a Social Worker and have had over 10 years of experience working with clients in a variety of settings. I absolutely love working with clients as they learn to smile again through whatever situation it is that they find themselves in at the time. Personally, I love traveling, photography, and spending time with my family and my dog.

My focus

I have worked with clients who have experienced domestic violence/IPV, foster care and adoption, NICU, long-term medical hospitalizations, grief/loss, homelessness, and caregiving stress.

My approach

I don't believe that one form of therapy works for everyone, and I think that it is important to get to know people and utilize a modality that works with each person. I also believe that some techniques, just like goals, need to change over time. Common modalities are CBT, person-centered, and solution-focused.

My communication style

I try to provide a comfortable, real, relaxed environment. I am who I am, and I don't believe in being fake. My goal is to provide an environment in which others will be comfortable sharing their story with me and working towards their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have done a variety of clinical case management and found that working with clients on their goals and helping to identify barriers is a different form of therapy. One of the biggest things that keeps me in this field is seeing clients heal and learn how to smile again, or learn how to trust again.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with clients during the beginning of the session as we get to know each other. I believe that goals are meant to be checked in on consistently and reassessed as someone's situation changes.

Our first session

I believe the first session should be focused on getting to know my clients, finding out what their expectations/hopes are, what they want out of therapy... and also sharing about the expectations I have as a therapist.
