I am a warm and empathetic individual that has specialties in addiction, men's issues, and grief. I have a Master in Mental Health from Keiser University and have been working in my specialties for the last 5 years.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, and I strive to create a space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace.
I understand that reaching out for help can feel vulnerable, and I value the trust my clients place in me. I work to meet each person where they are while helping them build insight, coping skills, resilience, and confidence. I believe in balancing empathy and validation with practical tools and strategies that support meaningful and lasting change.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, approachable, calming, and easy to talk to. I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, while tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals.
I have been practicing as a therapist for 5 years, and specialize in working with mood disorders, attachment trauma, anxiety, addictions, kink, poly/ENM, life transitions, and interpersonal challenges. I am highly collaborative with my clients, and often weave humor and sarcasm into my sessions. Feedback is important to me - the relationship between therapist and client is sacred and one of the biggest predictors of change!
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health and ART trauma therapist passionate about helping adults and teens manage the overwhelming challenges of life—whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck.
I’m Tiffany Settles, a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida, and I’m grateful you’re here. My journey in this field began in 2005 after earning my Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I started my career as a behavioral tech in an adolescent residential program, supporting teens facing moderate to severe mental health and behavioral challenges. That experience shaped my understanding of how deeply people desire to be seen, heard, and guided with genuine care. It also inspired me to move toward one-on-one work, complete my master’s in clinical psychology, and build a therapeutic practice rooted in connection and compassion.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tampa
Searching for therapists in Tampa starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to focus on. Many therapists support people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or work stress, but their approaches can vary. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy styles listed in each profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. These details can help you choose a therapist whose experience fits your needs.
Tampa has a broad mental health care market, with therapists across areas like Hyde Park, Downtown, South Tampa, and nearby communities. Your choice may depend on whether you prefer an in-person office that fits your commute or a virtual appointment that works better with your schedule. It also helps to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how they describe their session style. Reading therapist bios before booking can show how they communicate, what they focus on, and what you may expect in a first session.
Therapy in Tampa can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Tampa therapists who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, enter your insurance details, and see estimated costs before you book. From there, you can review available times and book directly when you’re ready.
