Tianna Kirton

MSW-Intern

I am currently an intern finishing my Master’s of Social Work from Utah State University. I enjoy helping my clients feel empowered to make the changes that they want for their lives by providing a compassionate, positive, non-judgmental, and strengths-based environment. I am committed to developing a deep understanding of my clients’ goals and concerns through careful listening and frequent conversations with clients about their experience in therapy. Despite the difficult and complex challenges that you may be facing, I believe that there is always hope and the possibility of change and improvement. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques in my work.

SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL HISTORY

Quality Youth Services

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME A THERAPIST?

I have always felt a deep sense of purpose in supporting others on their journey through life. I believe that everyone should have a safe space to heal, learn about themselves, and develop skills and coping strategies. I strive to create this space in my therapy office.

WHATS YOUR THERAPEUTIC APPROACH?

WHAT KIND OF HOMEWORK OR ASSIGNMENTS DO YOU GIVE CLIENTS?

I assign homework and assignments based on discussions with clients about what they would like to achieve week-to-week, and what realistic goals might be for them. I understand that it is not always possible for assignments to be completed, and there will never be any judgment when they are not.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST SESSION WITH YOU?

Take a few deep breaths, relax, and come as you are.
