Tiara Totten

I have been in the mental health field for 8 years. I work with adults providing mental health and substance abuse services. ​​I am a strength-based therapist, meaning that I focus more on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, and less on weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. I believe we can all be resourceful and resilient in the face of adversity. ​ I use an eclectic approach drawing on evidenced based treatment modalities. I value treating the whole person and addressing all aspects of your well-being. I have helped individuals reduce fears, anxieties and depression, manage anger, guilt and shame, curb destructive impulses and behaviors, regulate emotions and tolerate distress, set limits and build structure, explore personal values and beliefs, practice communication skills, achieve sobriety from addiction, and prevent and treat opioid use. It takes courage and strength to reach out for support. I want my practice to be a place of encouragement and effective change.
