We believe in working collaboratively with our clients to help reach their goals by encouraging (and teaching) our clients to self-advocate and hold us to the highest standard.

We are committed to creating a therapeutic atmosphere where their voices, experiences, and ideals are safely heard, explored and validated.

Tiffany Walker

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Hi, I’m Tiffany!

I’m the Founder and CEO of Journey Therapy Center. I started my career working as a program manager for college access and youth development programs for non-profits, schools, and universities. Through this work, I noticed a gap in mental health literacy amongst vulnerable populations and stepped in to serve them! I don’t believe it’s a lack of skill, passion, or talent that limits growth, success, and wellness. I believe people deserve compassionate, purposeful, and culturally competent support that will help them flourish so I created Journey Therapy Center. Here at Journey Therapy Center, we can help you  develop self-efficacy, self-advocacy skills and other tools to help you manage life stressors and feel more control of your emotional health.  I believe that everyone can heal despite past traumas and life’s current stressors. Wellness is possible with the proper support. 

When you choose Journey Therapy Center, you are taking your first step on the road to wellness, and we are here to co-pilot with you on the journey!

Testimonials

 

“Journey Therapy Center is a professional service that Eastern University contracts with to provide mental health awareness training to the Residence Life staff to improve support services provided to students. Additionally, during the 2020 pandemic Journey Therapy Center worked collaboratively with the Eastern University Counseling Services to offer workshops and modules for the student body to assist them in developing coping skills that support academic success. The content was developed specifically for our student population; it was relevant to the current times and clinically appropriate! The process of working together was seamless and we are happy to continue our relationship with the company”

-Jackie Irving, Ed.D Vice Provost for Student Development, Eastern University (St. Davids, PA)

“I met Tiffany in March 2020 while attending the Millennial Social Work Conference while earning my Master of Social Work degree and approached her about utilizing her services to help me to create a cultural competency curriculum for educators. We began to work together on the curriculum shortly after, and I was very impressed with her support throughout the entire process. At the beginning, she served as a sounding board for me as I talked through my ideas. She listened, took notes, and helped me to narrow down my thoughts into something cohesive. She was then able to break down the work for the curriculum into bite-sized tasks that would be assigned to me after our meetings. This helped me to remain calm and motivated, and I loved seeing myself make progress. Upon completion of my assignments, Tiffany would engage with my work, giving comments and edits to discuss at the next meeting. This helped me to get the biggest bang for my buck during consultations because she came prepared to focus on certain topics. She’s very knowledgeable, thorough, and patient with her clients. I will continue to work with Tiffany for all of my curriculum-building needs.”

-Kamaria Beamon, MSW (Atlanta,Georgia)

“Ms. Walker led a Trauma-Informed Care Session with our teachers during the pandemic. Despite being remote, Ms. Walker’s session was highly engaging and very informative. She gave teachers ample time to process information both independently, in large groups, and in smaller groups. It was also great being able to speak to and plan with Ms. Walker before the session to identify topics of interest and need for our staff. When we met again for a last review of the agenda and materials, she far exceeded our expectations in both execution and detail. Ms. Walker is very responsive, open to feedback, and overall an effective and well-informed presenter. We cannot wait to bring her back again!”

– Diana Williams Dean of Student Support at Ivy Hill Prep Charter School (K-5; Brooklyn, NY)

Brianna Velez, lsw

Population Served: 

States Licensed: New Jersey

My name is Brianna Velez, and I am a Licensed Social Worker! Through a compassionate and strengths-based approach to mental health care, I hope to empower clients to believe in their own worth and potential as individuals to grow through the therapeutic process. I am deeply passionate about helping women and men of color overcome struggles with anxiety and depression while also addressing how these mental health struggles might be compounded by stigmas against mental health treatment. As a therapist, I prioritize cultivating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to begin their own journeys to self-love and self-empowerment. I take great pride in empowering clients to view even their greatest struggles as their greatest strengths because oftentimes individuals simply need to be reminded they can accomplish great things to believe they are capable of getting there. Together, we will take the first step on this journey towards growth and a brighter future.
