More About Tiffany Madson
Clinical Interests:
I have spent the majority of my career working with individuals who have experienced legal involvement, such as those who have received criminal charges, parents who have had involvement with Child Protection Services (CPS), as well as victims of crimes. More recently, I have worked with individuals who experienced traumatic brain injuries and struggles related to the impact this has had on their lives. Overall, my clinical interests involve assisting clients with rebuilding their lives and developing healthy and happy lifestyles, moving forward.
Clinical Approach:
I believe that, in order to understand our present, we need to understand and heal from what has happened to us in the past. My approach is genuine and nonjudgmental, as I truly believe everyone is redeemable. It is also important that clients understand their mental health difficulties and gain insight into managing symptoms that impact their ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Developing healthy coping skills is imperative in managing mental health struggles, as well. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is effective in gaining understanding of the manner in which our thoughts influence our behaviors and choices; thus, CBT has been a significant component in my therapeutic approach.
Hobbies:
I enjoy reading and writing, and have worked as an editor of seven true crime novels. I spend a lot of time with my young, 90-pound dog, training, walking, and running energy out of him. I am very close with my family and spend as much time with them as I am able. I love music; there is always music playing in my home. I also sing and play piano, which has always served as its own therapy for me after a more difficult day.
