Greetings! My name is Tiffany Franke-Brauer, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in California. I help individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, more severe and persistent mental illnesses, generally strong emotions, and dual diagnoses (mental illness and addiction). I come from a Humanistic orientation; I acknowledge that our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions are strongly influenced by our environment, affecting how we learn to think and process what we see, do, and feel.
My communication style is respectful, direct, open and honest. I welcome questions! I find it helpful to set up a way for us in session to be able to stop the other for clarification as I feel this helps us with mutual understanding (e.g., do we hold up a finger if we have a question or interrupt to ask?).
During our first session, we'll review legalities and work to complete an intake assessment to gather as much information from you as I can. I'll ask what you are seeking from therapy and what you hope to achieve in a session. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
Take the first step to help. Call or Tiffany Franke-Brauer now - (714) 294-2771
