Tiffany Savener, PhD, LPC-Associate · Austin & Texas
You've carried this long enough. You don't have to do it alone.
Whether you're exhausted from always putting others first, healing from betrayal, or stuck in painful patterns that keep repeating — there's a path forward, and it starts with one conversation.
15-minute call · No commitment · Private pay
You're not broken. You've just been carrying too much.
Always the caretaker
You put everyone else's needs first and wonder when it will be your turn. Saying no feels impossible, and guilt follows when you try. You may feel like a burden, wrestle with perfectionism, or struggle with imposter syndrome.
Toxic family patterns
You may be the family scapegoat — always misunderstood or excluded. You've gone low- or no-contact to protect yourself, or you're still navigating emotionally immature or narcissistic family members.
Stuck in the same cycles
No matter how hard you try, you end up in the same painful place. You want things to change — and you want to break these patterns before passing them on to your children.
Betrayal and broken trust
Infidelity, gaslighting, abuse, or dishonesty from a partner or family member. That kind of hurt shakes your sense of safety, self-worth, and ability to trust — yourself and others.
Anxiety, grief, or depression
Persistent grief, panic attacks, emotional numbness, or constant self-doubt. You feel fundamentally alone, even around people who love you. Exhausted, anxious, stuck, or burnt out.
Trauma & C-PTSD
Childhood emotional neglect, PTSD, or complex trauma that's still showing up today. You've survived so much — and with the right support, you can move from surviving to truly living.
Hi, I'm Tiffany. I get it — and I'm here to help.
I know it can be hard to reach out, especially if you've had therapy before and felt dismissed or misunderstood. I take your trust seriously, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly seen.
I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Texas Tech University and have spent years specializing in interpersonal trauma, betrayal, childhood emotional neglect, and toxic family systems. My own healing journey through therapy has profoundly shaped how I show up for my clients.
Many of my clients grew up in families where their needs were dismissed or minimized. As adults, they carry that weight into every relationship — feeling unseen, anxious, or disconnected even when they desperately want closeness. You are enough, exactly as you are. Together we'll work toward healing, resilience, and a life that feels like yours.

How we'll work together
Those survival strategies — numbing, shutting down, shrinking to keep the peace — kept you safe once. You won't be judged for them here. We'll use a blend of proven, trauma-informed approaches, tailored to where you are right now, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
EMDR Therapy
Reprocess painful memories stored in the body and mind, reducing their emotional charge so they no longer hijack your present.
Internal Family Systems
Heal the wounded inner parts of yourself — the protectors, the inner critics, the parts still carrying old pain — with compassion rather than judgment.
Gottman Method
A research-based framework specifically for couples healing from affairs and trauma — helping you not just survive the pain, but grow stronger through it.
Somatic & Attachment Therapy
Restore safety and connection in your body and relationships by addressing how trauma lives below the level of conscious thought.
EIP Work (Gibson)
Specialized guidance for adult children of emotionally immature parents — navigating complex family dynamics and breaking generational cycles.
Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Finding peace and safety while recovering from toxic dynamics, gaslighting, and emotional abuse. You deserve to feel safe again.
CBT
Identifying and reshaping the harmful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and self-doubt — practical tools you'll use beyond sessions.
Emotion-Focused Therapy
Healing deep attachment wounds and relational injuries through understanding your emotional patterns and building more secure connections.
Serving clients face-to-face in Northwest Austin and the surrounding area.
Offering secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions to anyone in Texas — from your home, your car, wherever feels right.
What to expect when you reach out.
Free consultation call
A 15-minute phone or Zoom call to talk about what you're going through, ask questions, and see if we're a good fit. No pressure, no commitment. If the time doesn't work, just email me directly.
Your personalized plan
Your first session focuses on understanding your story. For couples, this includes an online research-based assessment and individual sessions with each partner before we come back together with a roadmap.

At your pace, we'll work toward the relief, clarity, and connection you've been looking for. You'll gain practical tools and real emotional support. Healing from trauma and betrayal is possible — and you don't have to do it alone.
