Heal from trauma and live *authentically with expert therapy.
For adults struggling with trauma and disconnection.
*Authentically means staying connected to yourself while staying connected to others, not sacrificing one for the other.
Whole Self Counseling helps you stop shrinking, performing, or abandoning your self and start becoming who you truly are.
Support that helps you understand your emotions, your needs, and your truth with greater ease.
When you prioritize connection over authenticity, you risk a perpetual sense of disconnection from your true self.
Disconnection can look like:
Losing your voice to keep the peace
Feeling numb, checked out, or on autopilot
Ignoring your needs to care for everyone else
Overthinking every decision
Feeling guilty for setting boundaries
Performing instead of being yourself
Carrying roles you never chose
I won’t fix you because you’re not broken. You’re in pain and you’ve been carrying it alone.
It’s not what’s wrong with you, it’s what happens inside of you as a result of what happened to you.
When trauma teaches you to protect connection at the cost of authenticity, you begin to lose access to self-trust.
You learn to read the room instead of listening inward.
Parts of you adopt survival roles, pleasing, performing, perfecting, to stay safe.
You silence your needs to avoid conflict or disappointment.
Closeness becomes something you long for but also brace against.
You move through relationships from vigilance rather than rest.
Protector parts take over, keeping you from showing up as who you really are.
You internalize the belief that authenticity will cost you attachment.
You stay small, contained, or “easy” to keep the peace.
Healing Begins with Safety: A Trauma-Informed Approach
Guided by your story, grounded in safety, and led at the speed of trust.
Do you ever feel stuck, numb, struggle with knowing your feelings or speaking your truth?
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
These are common trauma responses, and they make sense once you understand what your body has carried.
Over time, this can lead to:
Chronic self-betrayal
Emotional pain
A sense of living a life that does not feel true to who you are
Chronic tension or pain
Difficulty relaxing
Fatigue or exhaustion
Trouble sleeping
Racing heart or shallow breathing
Heightened startle response
Numbness or disconnection from sensations
With trauma-informed care, you will begin to:
Recognize protective patterns
Feel less anxious and more grounded
Strengthen your ability to speak your needs and truth
Build internal trust
Experience greater self-worth and self-compassion
Release chronic tension
Sleep more restfully
Breathe more fully and deeply
Feel more connected to your body
Experience fewer stress-related symptoms
Regulate your energy

In Internal Family Systems (IFS), we understand the mind as made up of parts, protective, wounded, and adaptive aspects of us that formed to help us survive and stay connected. Beneath those parts is the Self, our core state of calm, curiosity, compassion, and clarity. Healing doesn’t happen by getting rid of parts, but by helping them feel safe enough to trust Self-leadership. When Self leads, every part belongs, and change becomes possible.
If this resonates, you’re not broken. You’re adaptive. Therapy can help your parts feel safe enough to rest.
“Working with Tiffany helped me understand parts of myself I spent years ignoring. For the first time, I can set boundaries without guilt and actually feel grounded in my decisions. I didn’t know therapy could feel this safe.”
