Hi, my name is Tiffany Ream and I believe a good relationship between therapist and client is the key to successful therapy. I currently work in private practice in addition to working online with Betterhelp.
I have a Masters degree in Forensic Psychology, and am credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois. I have about 12 years of experience including trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, adjustment disorders, psychotic disorders, relationship conflicts, and trauma.
I will offer a safe, judgement-free space for you to process and discuss what is on your mind. Establishing a healthy rapport will be our first priority and we will move along at a pace that is comfortable for you. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Techniques and Solution Focused Therapy, however I am flexible and we will find the best approach for you. I believe that our thoughts and feelings directly connect with how we make decisions and choices in our life.
I have experience working with clients in private practice, in-patient, group homes, and correctional settings. I have experience working with a diverse group of clients and I believe we all need help in our struggles, and that we don't have to go at it alone. As a therapist, I want you to have a safe place to heal, learn, and grow. The therapy process is different for everyone and I hope I am able to help support you through taking this brave step towards improved mental health.
My mission is to help all clients be heard and find their own voice. It's your story and it's time for you to tell it.

Tiffany is wonderful. She understands where my thoughts are coming from when I struggle to understand and brings new insight into my every day stressors to help me better manage. So pleased with our work together.

Tiffany is compassionate and understanding. She lets me talk and pushes me to think more fully about topics that are brought to light. Tiffany validates my feelings and experiences, but still asks me to think about them critically. I appreciate my time with Tiffany and always walk away feeling better, and with new things to think about.
