Tianna Downey (GreenValley Counselling Services)
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying, MDiv
I am a warm and accepting therapist who works with adults, teens and children. I'm dedicated to creating a safe space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. My background includes working with marginalized and vulnerable populations in non-profit settings, and I've also empowered youth through positive development initiatives. I have additional training in Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) for my work with children.

Treatment Approach
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I'm passionate about taking a holistic, person-centered approach to support you. My work is rooted in collaboration, empathy, and respectful curiosity. Ultimately, I believe that gracious words have the power to meet you where you are and create an avenue for healing conversations. A phrase that always sticks with me is, "Be proud of your progress." My desire is to help you cultivate greater self-compassion, better equipping you to overcome hurdles and continue your journey toward lifelong wellness and healing.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, family or social relationship challenges, religious or spiritual concerns, and challenges related to self-esteem and racial identity. For adolescents, I focus on helping them navigate feelings of being overwhelmed, academic stress, peer relationship challenges, and coping with life transitions. I provide a safe, fun and engaging space for children to learn to manage big feelings, process things they may have trouble verbalizing and learning new ways to cope.
