About Tiffany
Hello! My name is Tiffany, and I am the founder of Honey & Twine Counseling.
I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in providing trauma-informed and survivor-centered care to clients impacted by sexual violence, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking, and complex intergenerational or developmental trauma.
I also have experience providing individual therapy for children and adolescents navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, suicidal ideation, self-harm, grief and bereavement, bullying, and complex trauma. In addition to my work with children and adolescents, I have provided family therapy and parent counseling to families seeking additional support for their child or hoping to improve current family dynamics within the home.
I have specific knowledge and experience supporting survivors with developmental disabilities and survivors within the LGBTQIA+ community. My goal is to create an environment where each client feels seen, heard, believed, and supported as they begin to unravel the experiences and narratives that have become tangled over time.
