Dr. Tiff Lanza (They/them/theirs)

I have completed the EMDR training in addition to the follow up consultation. I am preparing my information for certification. I have been utilizing EMDR since 2021 with mostly survivors of sexual assault and child sexual abuse. EMDR is a powerful modality that can truly make a difference in those experiencing symptoms as a result of a traumatic experience.

My clinical work has focused around trauma since 2011. I have completed ongoing trainings in trauma - such as TF-CBT - throughout my career. I have worked at agencies that served child survivors of sexual abuse, rape crisis centers, and survivors of crime. Trauma is an integral part of my work as most individuals have unfortunately experienced some type of traumatic event in their lifetime.

It has been a mission in my practice to provide trauma inclusive culturally sensitive informed care to all of my clients. Every human comes with a cultural perspective that influences their lives and experiences. It is vital to make that a part of the therapeutic process to help in healing and understanding boundaries needed in the context of cultural experiences.

I have served survivors of sexual abuse for over a decade through trauma informed cultural competent care. I have worked with survivors of sexual abuse or assault ranging in ages from 5 through adulthood. I have more recently incorporated EMDR into my practice with survivors to help their healing from the traumatic experiences. My Ph.D focused on the incorporation of human sexuality in therapeutic supports for child survivors of sexual abuse.

I have a masters and Ph.D. in human sexuality. I have made it a priority to be a therapist who serves the LGBTQIA+ community. This includes gender identity exploration, sexual identity exploration, and any other human sexuality topic. For kiddos, this may help not only in your exploration but working with you and caregivers to understand your needs through this developmental journey.

I worked for over ten years as a behavior & sexuality consultant where I served the Autism community in addition to all types of different abilities (cognitive & physical). I work on boundary setting, social understanding, healthy relationships & dating, and other topics around human sexuality for this community.

I have worked for over 10 years as a behavior & sexuality consultant for the entirety of the disability community. This includes folx on the autism spectrum, neurodivergent, physical , and intellectual or developmental disability. I have provided ongoing trainings to professionals (i.e. first responders, group home staff, school staff) on supporting this community in a way they need to be supported - not how people assume they need to be supported.
