About Us

Who We Are

  • At The Mending Space Therapy, our mission is to empower women by providing compassionate, culturally attuned, and holistic therapy that honors the full spectrum of their experiences. Guided by a womanist framework, we specialize in EMDR and somatic psychotherapy to help our clients heal from trauma, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim their narratives. We are committed to fostering a safe and affirming space where women can explore their inner wisdom, build resilience, and thrive in every aspect of their lives

    • Culturally Relevant Care: We integrate culturally relevant perspectives into our therapeutic work, ensuring that the experiences, values, and beliefs of our clients are at the forefront of their healing journey. We validate and affirm the unique cultural identities of every woman we serve.

    • Anti-Oppressive Framework: Our therapy is grounded in an anti-oppressive framework that actively addresses the systemic inequalities and power dynamics that impact mental health. We strive to dismantle these barriers within the therapeutic space, empowering clients to navigate and challenge these systems in their lives.

    • Empowerment Through Reclamation: We help clients reclaim their narratives and identities by exploring the ways in which colonial and patriarchal structures have influenced their experiences. Through this process, we support women in discovering their own paths to healing and self-definition.

    • Inclusive and Reflexive Practice: We are committed to ongoing learning and self-reflection to continuously evolve our practice. We engage in regular training and dialogue to ensure that our approach remains inclusive, responsive, and aligned with the principles of decolonization.

    • Holistic Care

      We recognize that true healing involves the mind, body, and spirit. Through our expertise in EMDR and somatic psychotherapy, we provide holistic care that addresses trauma at all levels, helping women reconnect with their bodies and find balance.

Meet the Owner

I’m Tiffany, a licensed marriage and family therapist, yogi, dancer, creative, music lover, and mom. And that’s just a few of the hats I wear. Through our work together, I can help you:

  • Develop insight into the ways past traumas impact you in your present life

  • Build self-esteem and coping skills in order to manage stress

  • Learn how to communicate emotions more effectively

  • Incorporate both the mind and body in your wellness practice

  • Enhance intimacy in relationships

Therapy can be transformative. However, it is not:

  • A finite process. Depending on your presenting issue(s), treatment can takes weeks, months, or years to be effective.

  • One-size-fits-all. Every person has different needs and experiences.

  • Solely a venting space. Venting is encouraged, but part of the work of therapy is learning how to manage feelings, not just talk about them.

  • Painless. Sometimes therapy will require revisiting old wounds or discussing topics that are difficult. Discomfort is part of the healing process. However, we can work together to push through those difficult moments.
