Getting to know Tifini Smith

Hi there, I'm Tifini! I've been in the counseling world for a little over two years. I pride myself on being a laid-back therapist as I often go with the flow of things. Whatever you are putting down, I'm picking up. While I may be laid-back, I also like to meet my clients with challenges because after all therapy is meant to bring change. My focus My ideal client most often looks like someone who is struggling in one or more areas of life. I have helped clients navigate complex relationships (romantic and familial), gain emotional intelligence and regulation, improve their boundaries, process trauma, and also gain insight into why they exhibit the behaviors that they do and correct them. My approach My approach to providing care looks like me listening intently. While you're talking, I'm most likely taking what you're saying as your processing information and linking what you're saying to other things we may have previously discussed. By doing this, it allows you to gain insight into different behaviors or pattens that you may not be aware of. My communication style I believe thata therapist should maintain a level of fluidity in terms of communication styles. My communication style is strongly dependent upon the temperature of my client. Some clients prefer a more direct or blunt style of communication, while others may need gentleness. I match what my client needs. Most importantly, I offer a safe space! My journey to mental healthcare My reasons for entering into the mental health field are strongly rooted in my childhood. I have watched the effects of mental health wear down a loved one, which prompted my desire to help others. I have worked in inpatient crisis hospitalization facilities, partial hospitalization programs, and in private practice. No diagnosis is unfamiliar!
