Tiffany Smith, NP

Tiffany Smith, NP is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care. Growing up in a small town in Ohio, Tiffany witnessed firsthand the profound impact of the opioid epidemic and the limited access to mental health and addiction treatment in her community. These experiences fueled her passion for mental health care and motivated her to make a difference in the lives of those affected by mental illness and addiction.

Tiffany earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ashland University, followed by a Master’s Degree as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Ohio University. Her educational journey is a testament to her commitment to gaining the expertise needed to offer exceptional care and support to her clients.

Compassionate, ambitious, focused, and open-minded, Tiffany strives to create a safe, non-judgmental space for her clients. She believes that building trust and empathy is crucial in the therapeutic relationship. What initially drew Tiffany to this field was her desire to connect with her patients on a deeper level, something she found lacking during her time working in the intensive care unit. Recognizing the widespread lack of awareness and understanding of psychiatric conditions, Tiffany developed a passion for treating mental health conditions and raising awareness about often misunderstood issues.

Tiffany's treatment approach incorporates mindfulness, allowing her clients to develop a deeper awareness of their thoughts and emotions. This holistic method fosters growth, resilience, and improved mental well-being. Tiffany is a skilled listener, providing a supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. She is motivated by the progress she sees in her patients, finding fulfillment in guiding them on their mental health journey and helping them achieve their treatment goals.

Outside of her professional life, Tiffany enjoys a range of interests that keep her grounded and fulfilled. She has a profound love for reading, particularly psychological thrillers, and enjoys immersing herself in both fiction and non-fiction books. Gardening is another passion, with a growing collection of indoor plants that she tends to with care. Tiffany and her husband love to travel, especially to national parks where they can hike and enjoy the outdoors.
