Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles?
Maybe it shows up in your relationship, where the same argument keeps happening no matter how many times you've tried to resolve it. Maybe it's an internal heaviness you've carried so long you've stopped remembering what life felt like before it. Maybe you're a teen or young adult just trying to figure out who you are and why everything feels so hard right now.
Whatever brought you here, you don't have to keep white-knuckling it alone.
I'm Tiffany, a therapist at Schuster Counseling Group working with individuals, couples, and families in Stillwater, Oklahoma and online across the state. I work with people who are ready to stop surviving and start understanding themselves and each other a little more clearly.
Who I work with
I have a particular draw to teens and emerging adults navigating that stretch between adolescence and adulthood. That period is full of identity questions, loneliness, social anxiety, and pressure that doesn't always have a name yet. I find real energy in helping young people discover that the courage and resilience they're looking for is already in them. It just needs space and the right conditions to surface.
I also work with adults and couples who feel locked into patterns they can't seem to break on their own, whether that is a relational cycle that keeps eroding connection, or an internal weight rooted in anxiety, depression, or old wounds that have never fully healed.
If you are looking for a therapist who will show up curious, warm, and genuinely invested in your story, you are in the right place.
What I help with
Anxiety and social anxiety
Depression
Trauma and unresolved wounds
Identity development and life transitions
Loneliness and disconnection
Relationship patterns and communication
Couples in conflict or disconnection
Blended families and co-parenting dynamics
Parents of teens navigating anxiety and behavioral challenges

I approach individual therapy as a conversation, not a clinical intake that never ends. My style is warm, personable, and genuinely curious. I want to know how your life is going, what your relationships feel like, and what you are hoping things could look like instead.
I am informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic approaches, and attachment theory. I draw from these depending on what fits you. I do not hold independent certifications in these areas, but I bring them into sessions with care and with the benefit of ongoing clinical supervision.
Progress in individual therapy with me does not look like a checklist. It looks like your head finally rising above water. It looks like responding to a hard moment with curiosity instead of criticism. It looks like a quieter internal world and a stronger sense of who you are.
-
Most couples arrive at therapy when things have been hard for a long time. The same fights keep happening. Both partners feel misunderstood. The connection that used to feel easy now feels like work, or like it has disappeared entirely.
I work with couples to identify the patterns underneath the conflict, not just the surface arguments, but the beliefs, fears, and unmet needs driving them. Drawing from an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)-informed approach, I help partners move from cycles of blame and distance toward real connection again.
I work with couples at every stage, from newlyweds navigating early friction to couples married fifty years who have lost their footing, and couples navigating the specific challenges of blended families and step-parenting.
What makes couples therapy work is not finding the right therapist. It is both partners being willing to look at their own role in the cycle, take ownership of it, and turn toward each other with honesty and vulnerability. I can help with the rest.
-
I welcome all kinds of family constellations into my work. There is no single definition of family I am working from, and I bring that same openness to every room I am in.
Family therapy with me tends to focus on communication, connection, and understanding across the relational system. Whether that means a parent and teenager who have stopped being able to talk to each other, a blended family figuring out how to function together, or siblings navigating something hard, my goal is to help families strengthen the bonds that matter most.
One area where I have particular experience is working with parents of teens dealing with anxiety. I have seen firsthand how a parent's response can either amplify or settle a teen's distress, and I help families understand those dynamics in ways that create real change.
-
I think of my sessions as invitational. There is no pressure to have it all figured out before you arrive, no expectation that you will perform growth on a timeline. The invitation is simply to put down whatever you have been carrying and start from there.
Clients tend to say I am easy to talk to and that they feel seen, supported, and genuinely understood. I do not approach therapy as someone who has all the answers. I approach it as someone walking alongside you.
I also bring a sense of lightness to the work when it fits. Human connection is not always heavy, and I believe there is real therapeutic value in moments that let you breathe.
My faith is part of who I am and how I move through the world. It is a source of personal grounding for me, not something I bring into the process as an expectation. Clients of all backgrounds and belief systems are welcome in my practice.
-
The first session is simply a beginning. I will ask about what brings you in, what you are hoping for, and what feels most important for me to know before we start working together. I want to understand your life across multiple dimensions, your relationships, your day-to-day experience, and what has shaped you.
There is no pressure to have a tidy answer to any of those questions. You just have to show up.

I hold a Master of Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) from Abilene Christian University, where my graduate training included an emphasis in trauma. I am currently an LMFT Candidate licensed in Oklahoma (License #13366) and practicing at Schuster Counseling Group under the clinical supervision of Whitney Warren-Alexander of Warren Alexander Group.
My path to the therapy room was not a straight line. The pull toward this work started in undergrad, when an informational session on marriage and family therapy sparked something I could not ignore. Life got in the way of graduate school for over two decades. But the calling did not go anywhere. More than 25 years later, I completed my degree and started my career. That kind of persistence tends to show up in how I practice.
