Social Worker
Hello! I’m Tiffany Lukenda, a clinician at our Northgate clinic.
I have experience with individuals across the lifespan, with my main focus being youth and young adults. I have worked in various settings including adult case management, schools, and childcare. I have a background in gender and sexuality, interpersonal issues, stress management, suicide and self-harm, and trauma. Having lived in both New York City and Seattle, I have experience with a wide range of humans and thoroughly enjoy helping people in ways as unique as they are. While my work is informed by approaches such as CBT, DBT, and Somatic therapy, I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs.
I follow a non-judgmental, strengths-based approach, meeting you where you’re at and building up from there. I have experience with all different people from all different backgrounds and enjoy using an individual’s culture and existing supports to improve care. I practice with a harm reduction lens, which is particularly helpful in my work with teens.
I look forward to learning more about you! I believe it is important to use personal strengths and parts of one’s identity to build a strong foundation. Whether you’re exploring who you are, looking to challenge social norms, working through a difficult situation, or wanting to grow, I would love to be with you for your journey.
