Hi, I’m Dr. V.! As a nationally board-certified and licensed therapist in Florida, I bring 17 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers around creating flexible, compassionate, and affirming spaces for clients navigating diverse challenges—from various mental health disorders to harm reduction and interpersonal healing.
Through a client-centered lens, I specialize in addressing a wide range of experiences, with particular expertise in trauma recovery, complicated relationship dynamics, substance misuse, and life transitions. I’m committed to supporting adolescents, adults, and couples with personalized treatment plans infusing evidence-based techniques, such as DBT, ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy with expressive and integrative approaches, including Narrative and Existential Therapies.
My therapeutic work embraces multicultural perspectives and creates inclusive environments for those exploring aspects of sexual well-being and confronting unique identity challenges. By creating a non-judgmental and empathetic therapeutic relationship, I strive to help clients develop meaningful strategies for self-understanding, emotional resilience, and positive change.
I believe in empowering clients to discover their inherent strengths, process difficult emotions, and cultivate authentic connections—both with themselves and others. Together, we'll explore your experiences with curiosity and care—and hopefully share a laugh or two along the way!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Tiffany Vastardis. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Vastardis is an exceptional therapist. This was my first time ever going to therapy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She truly takes the time to listen and has such a calm, positive presence that immediately puts you at ease. Beyond being professional, she’s genuinely kind and compassionate. As someone from a different culture, I really appreciate how she takes the time to understand my background and perspective, it makes a huge difference. She’s helped me set meaningful goals and guided me in thinking through challenges in a way that feels supportive and empowering. I’m very grateful to have found her.
