Kaiser (Out-of-Network) Therapists in California

I have deep experience with many different types of personal and psychological issues. I specialize in LGBTQ+ clients but I'm open to all. We sometimes need help maximizing our potential and working through the obstacles that prevent us from thriving. I provide a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment to help you potentialize.

Anxiety Experts has offices in Goleta, Montecito and Ventura, as well as virtual outpatient and Virtual Intensive Outpatient (VIOP) Treatment. Our team is specialized in treating anxiety, panic, social phobia, school refusal, OCD, PTSD, BDD, and disordered eating. These problems rob one's sense of freedom, confidence and self-worth. We treat these issues with a type of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and Medical Nutrition Therapy from a Registered Dietician as appropriate. We have helped hundreds of adults and kids master their fears; research shows in-person and live video to be equally effective!

My name is Dr. Tiffany McCullum. I have been in practice for 11 years, specializing in adult psychotherapy. I enjoy helping people through relationship issues, transitional periods in life, and daily stressors. I have experience working with all mood disorders, psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, and trauma.

I was always the person my friends and family turned to for support, which sparked my interest in helping others. I pursued psychology in high school, undergrad, and grad school, and eventually found my way to NOCD. I have friends and family with anxiety disorders and depression, which has been helpful in understanding how to support people effectively. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of its nuances enables us to properly diagnose and treat it. We have also received training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.

Becoming a better you will be one of the best investments you will ever make. Call today to set up an appointment to discuss your particular situation. I currently offer appointments across the state of California via video-telehealth sessions.

Life will present us now and then with the unexpected.  This clearly is a time of major change for all of us. Not all of this is new nor is it novel. Even in the most normal of times we often do experience unwelcome events, the loss of a loved one, disability, addiction, economic insecurity, loneliness. To live is perhaps also to suffer. But we need not suffer alone. You will find me to be a compassionate, capable psychotherapist. Working together, I can help you to live a happier, more contented and fulfilling life. So then, where are you now? Where would you like to go from here? Would you like to create a new narrative? 

Welcome to my profile. I believe it's important to find the Therapist that is right for you. I am passionate about diminishing the stigma surrounding mental health issues within my community.

Are you or someone you love struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, career pressures, or emotional blocks? Navigating the roller coaster ride of life can be a challenge. Having the right tools can be transformative, and therapy is a wonderful way to practice self care, and learn those tools. As a CA licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping highly creative professionals ( writers, directors, producers, animators, musicians, comedians, and performers in Film, TV and New Media) reduce stress, transcend limiting beliefs, and bring about positive change in their life and relationships.

There are times in our lives when we are challenged by circumstances that seem too great to navigate and bear alone. The corona virus is truly one of these times. I am offering tele-therapy through video or the phone to those who need extra support during these uncertain time. I am a trauma specialist and understand how addictions and other self-destructive behaviors mask pain. To interact with another person who can respond appropriately and share your concerns and emotional experiences can bring about meaningful life changes.

Are you seeking change in your life, would you like to feel better, become more empowered and have support along the way? All of this is possible. No matter where you're at in life or what your goals are you can get the support you need. My goal as a therapist is to help you live the life you want to live and be happy doing it. I specialize in helping people see things differently, recognize their strengths, set healthy goals with a plan to achieve them, and live a more fulfilling life that brings them happiness and peace.

My aim is for you to feel safe in a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment so that you may find insight and personal growth and reach your goals while remaining true to your authentic self. My approach to health is holistic, working with you collaboratively so that you could better understand your inner workings and experiences and effectively set and reach your goals.

My ideal client is someone who is questioning and wondering what they are supposed to do at this time in their life. Do you feel like something is missing, that your life is not the way you want it to be? I can help you find your way into a whole new world. Every issue is fundamentally spiritual and will persist until you discover what is going on. Let's free you up from the restrictions in your thinking and behavior that erode your happiness.

Choosing a therapist and beginning therapy isn't easy. The first step is recognizing the feeling that you don't want to be alone in working on your challenges. My commitment is to help you find out whether I might be a good match as your therapist, and to be your guide in the process of getting support. I work particularly well with anyone who is negotiating difficult life cycle transitions--from challenges of beginning school, moving or dealing with loss to the strains of adolescence, marriage or divorce or the demands of aging and caring for aging parents.

In my 32 years of working with Children, Adolescents, Couples, and Multi-Cultural, Single Parent, Traditional/Non-Traditional Families, I have found the greatest success by using Albert Ellis' Rational Emotional Cognitive Behavioral approach to treatment. As an Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor/Marriage Family Child Counselor (BBS Board approved to provide assessment and therapy to Couples and Families), my work involves psychological assessment and testing, performing in-home/in-school functional behavior analysis for Spectrum Disorder, IEP mental health representation, collateral work with medical professionals, substance abuse, and transition from trauma.

I am here to offer guidance and support as we work together towards positive change. During our time together, my primary goal is to get to know you better and to better understand what brings you to seek counseling. This is an opportunity for us to connect, discuss your concerns, and explore how we might work together to support your mental health and well-being.

Have you been in therapy before where someone just listened to you talk? Are you tired of trying to get out of old coping skills, just to continue to feel stuck, or maybe you don't even know where to start? Is all of THAT getting in the way of your career, parenting, and/or having healthy relationships? Do you want ACTUAL tools instead of someone to just talk to and say "uh, huh, how does that make you feel?"

We are all trying to be the best version of ourselves and sometimes we need help learning who that person is. I believe that the purpose of therapy is to help you identify challenges that are preventing you from becoming the person you want to be and living a happy healthy life. Through the development of a collaborative therapeutic relationship; I can support you in identifying your strengths to empower you to overcome the challenges that are affecting your happiness and growth.
