Greetings everyone and thank you for trusting the process and doing your work! Its hard, but it's so worth it.
So who am I?
Well, I am Tiffany Chavis, LCSW, Durham, North Carolina native and graduate of North Carolina A&T State University (in conjunction with UNC-Greensboro) as well as North Carolina Central University. My career has given me the opportunity to practice social work in a number of different ways, and that experience has been amazing so far!
What should you expect from partnering with me?
We will 'Keep it Real'. There is a place for hiding who you are and pretending; a counseling relationship is not that place. I will be authentic and create space for courage and vulnerability to promote overall wellness. We will work through tough spots and partner to resolve those what may be holding you back from being your best self.
Why did I choose Social Work?
Social work chose me! I have always been drawn to share in peoples experiences, especially those who have been misrepresented and experience mistreatment. My values dictate that I advocate for social justice, equality of race, ability and other socioeconomic values which have been used to advance some, and oppress others.
Currently, I am an advocate for those who have served our country in the military and their families. While mental health is the primary tenant, removing barriers which exist to healthcare access and addressing disparities in health outcomes has become a personal and professional passion of mine. In addition to Veterans and those who have served our country, my experience also includes providing therapeutic interventions for at-risk youth, family reunification, mental health advocacy, individuals with various trauma experiences, clinical services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, child protective services (investigation, foster care and adoption) and crisis intervention services among all populations.
Congratulations on your commitment to yourself! Let's connect!

From my very first session, I was able to open up completely with Tiffany and not be judged, which was very important for me. We are able to work through some of the challenges I have had with compassion, guidance and even a few uncomfortable moments that really made me think! We connected and that's important when working with someone. You'd be in good hands with Tiffany.
