Tiffany Murphy, LMSW
As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I believe therapy is a space to feel seen, supported, and understood without judgment or expectation. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in the belief that each person has the capacity for growth and healing within themselves.
I work from a strengths-based perspective and trauma-informed lens, recognizing that our experiences can shape the ways we think, feel, and connect with others. My goal to create a space that feels steady and genuine, where you can explore your experiences, deepen your understanding of yourself, and move toward meaningful change.
Focused Therapeutic Approaches
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and the development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals manage difficult emotions, reduce conflict in relationships, and build a life worth living. DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change, teaching practical skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to support healthier coping and decision-making.
Strength-Based Therapy
The focus is strength. Instead of dwelling on weaknesses or past failures, this approach taps into your natural strengths, resilience, and resourcefulness to foster personal growth. By emphasizing what you do well, it helps reframe challenges, build confidence, and create a more positive outlook on life. This therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s tailored to you, recognizing that you are the expert on your own life. By uncovering and amplifying your strengths, it empowers you to navigate obstacles with a renewed sense of self-belief and purpose.
Areas of Interest
Trauma
Trauma can affect both the mind and body, influencing how you experience safety, emotions, and connection long after the event has passed. It may show up as anxiety, numbness, hypervigilance, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Using a trauma-informed and somatic approach, therapy helps gently restore a sense of safety by working with the nervous system, increasing body awareness, and supporting the body’s natural capacity for healing at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
Life Transitions
Major life changes can be exciting, painful, confusing, or all three at once. Whether you are navigating a career shift, relationship change, parenthood, grief, burnout, faith questions, or a new stage of life, transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what comes next.
I strive to create a safe and encouraging space where clients feel supported as they process change, gain perspective, and move toward healing, growth, and stability.
Relationships
The foundation of any type of healthy relationship is trust and respect. Sometimes a relationship needs a bit of help growing these two pillars for whatever reason.
It is always an honor to walk beside my clients in their relationships and watch them grow.

Schedule a Consult Today!
I offer free, no pressure, 15-minute consultations. Let’s chat first before deciding to schedule your first therapy appointment. I often tell my clients, my role isn’t to be your counselor. My role is to promote your mental wellness and if that means being your counselor or finding a counselor who would be a best fit for you then I more than happy to do so. Stepping into the therapeutic process can bring up a lot of unsure or anxious feelings. Let me help you navigate those first steps! Call or text to set up your consultation.
