I primarily use psychodynamic, emotionally-focused, ACT, IFS, solution-focused, and strengths-based modalities.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted—worn down by others’ expectations, feeling isolated, hiding parts of who they are, battling addiction, or struggling with self-hatred, perfectionism, intense anxiety, or depression. I’ve been there too. I remember feeling hopeless and confused, and I know how heavy it feels to be carrying it all alone. Going to therapy helped me learn how to trust myself and find hope, so now I’m deeply passionate about helping others find their own healing and clarity.

As a psychotherapist I enjoy helping people who have not found the assistance they need from other professionals. I focus on understanding the real causes of suffering, not just symptoms or a diagnosis. I value the complexity of the mind and work carefully with my patients to tailor each treatment approach to their specific and unique needs. I do not simply assume what you need, instead we collaborate together. Psychotherapy can be profoundly meaningful and I have experience helping people from a wide variety of backgrounds. I also use Neurofeedback therapy and qEEG (brain mapping) assessments to inform my clinical practice.

My passion is to help people rebuild their relationship with God; to thrive in sobriety. I have extensive experience with individuals that struggle with addictive and compulsive behaviors such as: sex, pornography, drugs, alcohol, codependent relationships, etc. Over the past few years, I obtained more specialized education to specifically assist with sex, pornography and lust addiction through the work of Dr. Patrick Carnes Ph.D; a pioneer in the field of sex addiction. His work combined with a method to heal relational/attachment wounds, called "IFS", is the best strategy that I have found for recovery.

Hi, I'm Tiffany McPherson. I'm a Jungian-oriented Psychotherapist, but people also call me a Licensed Clinical Social Worker or simply a Trusted Friend. I help people who are struggling to make sense of unexpected and unwanted change in their lives, such as divorce, marital infidelity, midlife or faith transitions. Often people want to move forward and leave their messy past behind them, but they don't know how to move beyond the depression, anxiety, and failure they feel for not measuring up. I can help you sort through those messy parts, find clarity, and a new fulfilling path.

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
