Hello and welcome to my tiny corner of the internet! I'm Tiffany Beks...woman, mom of two, heavily obsessed with coffee, born and raised on the east coast, registered psychologist, and trauma therapist.
I’m no stranger to the pains of life: I know the crushing experience of failure, despite putting in your best effort; the desperation of feeling left behind and left out; the weight of carrying what feels like insurmountable pressures, responsibilities, and expectations; and the unbearable heartbreak of losing someone and having to figure out how to live without them.
The pains of life can be disorientating and destabilizing. At times, we might feel as though we are wandering and in need of finding a way back to ourselves. At other times, we are in need of carving a path forward and reaching a new destination - a new version of ourselves and our lives. I founded Atlas Psychology & Consulting as a way of representing these unknown, messy seasons that we all endure to varying degrees over the course of our lives. "Atlas" is a helpful metaphor for thinking about the therapy process; though therapy is often thought of as a journey, I prefer to think of it as a tool and process for helping us navigate, discover, and map out meaningful ways of living and being.
