About Tiffany M. Savener, Ph.D., LPC-A (she/her)
Thank you for your interest in learning more about Seek the Sun Psychotherapy! I am an active and collaborative therapist who works from a humanistic framework, meaning that I believe each individual has inherent worth and seeks to become the best person they can be. I create a warm, non-judgmental, and empathic space for couples and individuals so that clients feel safe to reveal themselves and explore problems. Within this framework, I incorporate aspects of many schools of therapy as appropriate to address your goals. In couples therapy, for example, I use the Gottman framework and help couples discover which parts of their relationship need to be strengthened and which patterns of relating need to be altered to help repair and strengthen their bond. Depending on the couple’s needs, I might include elements of emotion-focused therapy, relational life therapy, and others as needed. In individual therapy, I might use cognitive-behavioral therapy to address anxiety, or family-systems therapy to help a client understand their family of origin. I have lots of tools that can help you gain some immediate relief and also help you gain better coping skills and improve your relationships with others over the longer term.
I care deeply about my clients and their well-being. I strive to maintain the highest standards of ethics and integrity and to always treat clients with respect, dignity, and compassion. I have experience working with a wide variety of clients from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, and I value diversity and justice. I strive to improve mental health and overall well-being for all clients. Please reach out with any questions, or if you would like to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if you think we would work well together. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your path to more peaceful and fulfilling future!
My Education & Experience
I attended the University of Texas at Austin where I majored in English. I began my career teaching high school, but quickly realized my passion was for supporting others more personally and emotionally instead of academically. I earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Texas Tech University in 2005. During my training, I was privileged to work with diverse clients of all ages in many different settings, including a juvenile center, a state hospital, and outpatient clinics.
Transitioning from my training to full-time parenting was a time of learning and growth, joy and challenges. My husband and I have been married for 27 years and have three kids who are now 13, 18, and 20. Through the years, I have held leadership positions in several community organizations such as MOMS Club and Girl Scouts. My experiences in the community have deepened my appreciation for the diverse experiences of parents and caregivers and the varied nature of family dynamics.
As a therapist, my approach is colored by my professional and personal experiences. I strive to offer therapy that is research-based, personal, and empathic. Whether you’re a teenager or young adult searching for purpose and connection, a parent in the midst of raising a family, or a partner working to repair and deepen your relationship, my goal is to provide a space to explore, understand, and overcome your challenges. I will leverage my insights, expertise, and experiences to guide you toward a path of growth and resilience. Together, we will embark on a journey that honors your unique story.
