Tiffany Vlaanderen(She/Her/Hers)

Tiffany is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#147369). She holds a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and a B.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Southern California.

She has completed extensive 2-year training and received a certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Wright Institute Los Angeles (WILA) working with a diverse adult population. Her practice is continuously informed by a curiosity for and understanding of developmental processes with a keen interest in early life development. She is currently continuing my learning in this area in the child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy program at the New Center for Psychoanalysis.

She enjoys practicing from a depth-oriented, psychoanalytic framework rooted in the body as she finds it gives individuals an opportunity to come in genuine contact with themselves. The foundation of her approach is the belief that who we are — our sense of self and how we move in the world — is immensely shaped by our individual temperaments along with our developmental imprints for relating and experiencing.

She works with individuals from all walks of life who may have concerns about not having the experience of being felt with and by others, navigating the balance of intimacy and agency in relation to others, and understanding their internal world more richly. She's committed to affirming one’s exploration of the values that are essential and unique to you. She works well with folks who yearn to engage the fullest sense of their humanity. Her working style is to cultivate a therapeutic relationship with you that fosters trust and a sense of play so that you may be known and held more fully. She works on a once a week basis and often multiple times a week either in-person or via Telehealth sessions.
