Overthinking, overanalyzing, and struggling to quiet the mental noise.

Tiffany Venegas
LCSW (she/her)
A highly relational approach—showing up as a real person in the room.
Hi, I'm Tiffany! I use humor to keep things human and grounded, while bringing the structure and directness needed to create real change. I won't let you stay stuck.
I earned my B.S. in Psychology from the University of San Francisco before completing my MSW at UCLA with an emphasis in health and mental health across the lifespan. My clinical training spanned school aged children at West End Family Counseling, the CalWORKs program at Harbor UCLA, and high acuity work at Didi Hirsch in Glendale.
I'm now building my private practice working with both teens and adults, bringing the same curiosity, warmth, and directness to every session.

When the work starts to click.
Resilience over Perfection
Realizing that a sink of dirty dishes or a "messy" day isn't a moral failure.
Presence over Pressure
Moving from the "frozen" state of survival mode to actually owning your day.
Deeper Connections
Having the emotional bandwidth to be curious about the people you love, rather than just reacting to them.
Specialities
ACT: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Notice and step back from unhelpful thought loops so your values—not anxiety—can guide your choices. ACT is especially useful for perfectionism, worry, and feeling stuck despite being self-aware.
CBT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Identify the thought patterns and behaviors maintaining your struggles, then work systematically to shift them. It is practical, structured work designed to create meaningful change.
DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Build concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and navigating relationships with more ease. Expect a usable toolkit, not insight alone.
Trauma: Trauma-Informed Care
Process difficult experiences without losing your sense of safety or control. We move at a manageable pace so the past can stop dictating the present.
Anxiety & ADHD: Support for a Mind That Is Always On
Untangle overthinking, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm so you can respond with clarity instead of reacting from fear. We address anxiety and ADHD with targeted, practical strategies.
Life Transitions: Support Through Change
For teens and adults navigating identity shifts, relationships, grief, school, work, or a season that no longer fits. We make room for what is changing and build a steadier way forward.
