Sandra Tippen

I’m Sandra Tippen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in social services and 4 years of clinical experience. I support adults navigating depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, family challenges, and major life transitions, including end-of-life concerns

I believe therapy should be a welcoming, affirming space where you feel comfortable being honest about what you’re experiencing. My goal is to understand your unique needs, strengths, and goals while helping you feel supported and empowered throughout the process

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling with difficult emotions, navigating a life transition, or simply ready for something to change, we’ll work together to build healthier coping skills and create meaningful progress

My approach is warm, affirming, and solution-oriented. I believe therapy should be personalized to you and provide both a safe space to be heard and practical tools you can use in everyday life

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Strength-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building healthier ways to cope

Together, we’ll focus on your strengths, develop realistic strategies for managing challenges, and work toward greater confidence and resilience

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, talk about what brought you to therapy, and identify what you hope to accomplish. You’ll have a welcoming, judgment-free space to share your experiences at your own pace

Together, we’ll begin creating treatment goals that are meaningful to you and explore strategies that can help you move forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start, we’ll take it one step at a time
