Great to meet you!

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to provide a serene, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe being yourself.

I’m Tiffany Ward, LMHC, CBT-C, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Clinician. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, mood-related concerns, life transitions, stress, relationship challenges, and emotional difficulties.

As a Certified CBT Clinician (CBT-C), I specialize in helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, understand how their thoughts impact their emotions and behaviors, and develop practical skills that support lasting change. My approach is supportive, direct, and empowering, using evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation, coping skills, confidence, and overall well-being.

As a former Division I collegiate athlete, I also understand the unique pressures associated with athletics and performance. I enjoy supporting athletes and high-performing individuals experiencing performance anxiety, confidence concerns, stress, perfectionism, and the pressure to succeed.

For clients who desire it, I offer Christian counseling that integrates faith, biblical principles, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. Faith integration is always based on each client’s preference and comfort level.

My goal is not simply to help you manage symptoms, but to help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck, develop the tools to move forward, and feel empowered to conquer the mountains in front of you.

Dr. Cristina Sanchez

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Miami, FL


Finding the right therapist is an important step, and I know it can feel a little intimidating. My hope is that by learning a little about me, you will feel more comfortable before we meet for the first time. I earned my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) from Albizu University in Miami, Fl and have been working for over 9 years in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges in hospitals, inpatient facilities, and private practice. I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, trauma, eating disorders, grief, perimenopause, and other health and women's mental health concerns.

My therapeutic style is personalized because I don't believe once approach fits all. I integrate evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness based interventions, and trauma informed techniques. Together, we will work together to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck while developing practical skills you can use outside of our session.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Searching for therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A therapist may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Fort Lauderdale therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Their bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in a session.

Fort Lauderdale has a broad mental health care community, with options across neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Las Olas, and nearby areas in Broward County. Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that work for you, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
