Tiffany Phillips, LMFT

Hello, I’m Tiffany Phillips, the founder of Restoring Hope Therapy Services.

Originally from Northern California, I graduated cum laude from San Jose State University in 1995 with a B.A. in Child Development. In 1998, I earned an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Tennessee and West Virginia.

I bring professionalism, experience, and a commitment to meet you exactly where you are. My training in attachment and systems theory, allows me to understand how your development and family background shape your perspective, while also attending to your experiences in the therapy room. I am an AAMFT Clincial Fellow and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor Candidate. a Certified EMDR Clinician, and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (iaedp) and have advanced training Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. My therapeutic approach ensures that sessions follow a structured path, using targeted interventions that support healing. These are not simply conversations about your week—they are active steps toward meaningful progress.

Beginning the search for a therapist is a significant decision, and I’m glad you’re here. I hope this website answers some of your questions. I look forward to supporting you on your therapeutic journey.

Two weeks after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville with a Bachelor's Degree in Media Studies and a minor in Social Media, I set out on a journey to join the world of corporate events in Nashville. Soon after my move, I started participating in group therapy, an experience that was truly transformative. Learning how to navigate relationships effectively within a safe and supportive environment provided me with a deeper understanding of myself and my place in the world. This experience ignited a desire within me to assist others in a similar manner. I knew that I wanted to make a positive impact on people's lives by becoming a therapist. I enrolled in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Trevecca University, where I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree. My ultimate objective is to empower individuals and couples to feel heard and valued within their lives and relationships. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to feel understood and supported, and I am fully committed to contributing to that reality. I am excited to join Restoring Hope Therapy as a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern.
