Tifanie Kukwa, LPCC — Therapist in Ohio

Hi there, I'm Tifanie!

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and you don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process life's challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and work toward meaningful change.

My focus

I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Together, we'll create a space for healing, growth, and reconnecting with what matters most to you.

My approach

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and collaborative, blending cognitive and solution-focused approaches, mindfulness, and practical tools tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My communication style

My style is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable sharing openly without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began while working as an EMT. Supporting people during difficult moments showed me the lasting impact of trauma and inspired me to help others find healing and hope.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify goals that align with your values and the life you want to create. Along the way, we'll build practical skills, process challenges, and celebrate progress as it happens.

Our first session

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any questions you have, while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
