Hi, I'm Tiffany!
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor in Ohio, and the founder of Blue Gardens Counseling. I specialize in working with individuals of all ages who are navigating the impact of toxic or difficult family relationships, unresolved trauma, and the struggle to feel at home within themselves.
My Story
My passion for this work comes not only from my professional training but also from lived experience. I understand how painful it can be to feel guilt, shame, or resentment when trying to set boundaries and honor your own needs. Because of this, I strive to create a therapeutic space where you feel deeply understood, supported, and encouraged to grow.
In our work together, I’ll meet you with honesty and compassion. I’m not the “smile and nod” type of therapist—I believe real change comes from being gently challenged, finding new perspectives, and learning tools that help you respond differently to life’s stressors. At the same time, I bring humor, authenticity, and openness into sessions. Nothing is off the table—from self-doubt and difficult emotions to relationships, identity, or the deeply personal parts of your story.
I often use trauma-informed and creative approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and experiential methods like storytelling and role-playing games. I am also a Certified Geek Therapist through Geek Therapeutics, which allows me to integrate pop culture, gaming, and creative tools to make therapy engaging and relatable. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, release the patterns that no longer serve you, and cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself.
At the heart of my work is the belief that you don’t have to let toxic family dynamics or past wounds define who you are. Together, we’ll focus on building resilience, nurturing self-worth, and creating the fulfilling life you deserve.
