Tianna Burroughs (she/her), LCSW

Tianna Burroughs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who approaches therapy with empathy and practical guidance. She recognizes the courage involved in seeking help and prioritizes creating a trustworthy therapeutic relationship, knowing that a good fit between therapist and client often shapes the success of treatment. Tianna aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings and work toward meaningful change.

She earned an undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana University in 2009. Across a variety of clinical settings—including home-based services, schools, youth shelters, residential programs, and inpatient psychiatric hospitalization—Tianna has supported people of all ages through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, substance use, divorce, parenting struggles, and crisis stabilization. She brings eight years of clinical experience and a personal understanding shaped by growing up in an under-resourced area of northern Indiana.

Tianna’s style is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental while also being direct and honest when needed. She uses strength-based and solution-focused strategies to help clients build on skills and resources they already possess. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a key part of her approach to help clients see how thoughts influence emotions and behavior, and she often incorporates mindfulness and breathing techniques to support emotional regulation. Tianna values client feedback and encourages open communication about what is or is not working in therapy.

On a personal level, Tianna took time away from clinical work to stay home with her twins and to help raise her teenage niece. Her family’s frequent moves related to her husband’s career in mental health have included time living in Indiana, Texas, and Tennessee. In her free time she enjoys outdoor activities, yoga, and interior design.
