“Most people are afraid of suffering.
But suffering is a kind of mud to help the lotus flower of happiness grow.
There can be no lotus flower without the mud.”
~Thich Nhat
I’m Tiffany Castellanos, a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience supporting couples, families, and individuals through life’s challenges. My work has focused on helping people navigate marital conflict, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and major life transitions.
In addition to my private practice, I’ve served as both a therapist and a clinical instructor at the University of Florida Law School. There, I had the privilege of teaching law students and clinical social work students on topics related to mental health and disabilities — a role that deepened my commitment to combining evidence-based practices with compassionate care.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and grounded in research. I specialize in the Gottman Method of couples counseling, which helps partners improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen connection. I also use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients heal from trauma in a gentle and effective way. No matter the focus, I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: with the right support, healing and meaningful change are always possible.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Sometimes, even when we want to move forward, our mind and body hold on to distressing memories, images, or emotions. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of psychotherapy designed to help you process and resolve these experiences in a safe, supportive way.ART uses guided eye movements - similar to what naturally happens during deep sleep - to help the brain “reprogram” the way troubling memories are stored. The facts of what happened remain the same, but the painful emotional response can be replaced with calm, clarity, and relief.
