My Story & Approach
Hello, I’m Tiffany Newman (she/her/hers), a Registered Provisional Psychologist. Before becoming a psychologist, I spent over 20 years working in the child and youth mental health field in both residential and community settings. Much of my experience has been supporting youth and families facing complex emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges. This work has given me a deep appreciation for how life experiences shape us and how powerful it can be to have the right support while navigating difficult terrain.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, respectful, and strength-based. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring our work together to your goals, values, and unique experiences. I also provide psychoeducational assessments with clear, practical recommendations to help individuals and families better understand learning, attention, and emotional functioning.
Outside of work, you’ll often find me at our seasonal camping spot, on the ski hill, or exploring the outdoors with my family, I’m happiest anywhere near the mountains. I also love good food, good company, and I’m always working on perfecting my sourdough bread.
I think of therapy a bit like sitting around a campfire, it's a space to slow down, reflect, share stories, and make sense of experiences in a safe and supportive environment. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you find direction, build confidence, and move forward in a way that feels meaningful and manageable.
If you’re looking for a warm, down-to-earth therapist to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges, I would be happy to connect and explore whether we’re a good fit.
