Personal note from Tiffany:

"I set out on this journey to open Counseling and Healing Arts because I have a passion for helping people make a change. I have spent my entire career working in Human Service professions and I take great pride in empowering people to make changes towards improving their lives. Since working in this field I had always dreamed about opening a place where people could come for counseling and feel safe and accepted and have the freedom to explore and improve themselves. After a lot of hard work, Counseling and Healing Arts was created and with it came a culture of healing unlike anywhere else. It was important to me that the environment didn't feel clinical but rather felt like a home with smiling faces, warm coffee and soft furniture. Counseling and Healing Arts is a place where not only the clients get to evolve and work towards their future but I get to as well."
