Hello! I’m Tiffany Michaud, a licensed therapist passionate about helping others thrive, and the founder of Connection Therapy & Wellness.

With over 15 years of experience as a counselor, I have had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, and adults through life’s challenges. My background in school and mental health counseling has given me a comprehensive understanding of the unique needs across all stages of life. I am commited to helping clients develop meaningful connections, build resilience, and lead fulfilling lives.

My Path to Private Practice
After years of working in counseling, I found myself balancing other important roles—contributing to a family business, raising children, and managing the daily demands of life. The fast pace and competing responsibilities left me yearning for the balance and authenticity I knew were essential for well-being. This realization inspired me to create my private practice, Connection Therapy & Wellness, where I could offer a personalized approach to therapy while living the balance I encourage my clients to seek.

In my practice, I strive to help clients connect with themselves and the world around them, embracing their unique experiences and strengths. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and validated. I believe you are the expert on your life, and together, we’ll explore ways to build resilience, gain clarity, and develop skills for living a more empowered life.

Helping others live their best lives is not just my work—it’s my passion and purpose. Thank you for being here. If you’re ready to take the next step toward growth and well-being, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

My Approach: The Power of Connection
At the heart of my therapeutic practice lies connection—both the connection between therapist and client and the deeper connection within oneself. I use an integrative and holistic approach, blending evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on building trust and safety. Therapy isn’t just about solving problems; it’s about creating a space to explore, understand, and nurture your inner world.

The Importance of Connection in Therapy
As humans, we are wired for connection. Our emotional and psychological well-being is deeply shaped by the relationships we build—with others and with ourselves. A genuine, empathetic connection with a therapist can offer relief, understanding, and support, forming the foundation for meaningful change.

Through this connection, you can process difficult emotions, make sense of past experiences, and begin to shift unhelpful patterns. In this safe space, vulnerability is met with compassion, paving the way for self-acceptance, profound self-discovery, and enduring growth.

How I Work with Clients
I tailor my approach to meet you where you are, drawing from techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and trauma-informed care. This flexible, client-centered approach addresses a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to help you develop healthier coping strategies, gain insight, and feel empowered to move forward.

Above all, I prioritize building a collaborative, empathetic, and supportive relationship. Together, we will uncover the root causes of your challenges, identify your strengths, and create actionable steps toward healing and growth. In a space grounded in trust, connection becomes the key to meaningful personal transformation.

TESTIMONIALS

“I liked how they gave me strategies and not just one but many so I could choose what I liked and didn’t like!”
CFAUSD Student
As a parent having the School Based Mental Health available has been very helpful with my child.  The process has gone smoothly from the initial contact to being able to choose a therapist that may work best with my child to the therapist working directly with my child.  This is also helpful that they are able to come directly to my child at the school so that they are missing less school and I as a parent need to miss less work as well.  Overall the whole experience has been a positive one for both myself and my child.
CFAUSD Parent
School-based mental health services allow a child to receive much needed services regularly without the inconvenience of scheduling around after school activities or parents having to take time off work.
SBMH Mental Health Therapist
As a therapist, having the School Based Mental Health available for students is very important in many aspects. School is an area where children spend a great amount of their time and the schools are able to work with the therapists to help in any areas that they may be struggling in.  The schools have all been very open with working with me as a therapist and the children are able to still get services that are needed for either home or school issues without having to miss more time at school since the therapy is able to be done right at the school settings.  Being able to provide this service for families is a great asset for everyone involved.
School Based Mental Health Therapist
You made this process super easy and helped me every step of the way to ensure that my student is set up for success. In following up with me and making sure we were taken care of shows that you care about the students and their wellbeing. Thank you so much for making this as easy as it was, I truly appreciate everything!

“The group was very good, and it calmed me down a lot. When you feeling stressed this class is a time to just relax and think about everything and it soothes your mind.”   “I liked that every time I needed to relax or talk about something I would not get judged that place was a free spot.”   “Being in the relax group really helped me become calm, and know what to do in times when I’m overwhelmed. The Relax Group also helped me focus on everyday tasks, and the group gave some incredibly good advice :)”
