Inner child joy
What my inner child loves
Being upside down! Handstands, acrobatics, contortion, flying through the air with aerials, and dancing — especially partner dancing like Bachata and Brazilian Zouk.
About Tiffany
Meet Tiffany McGilloway, therapist in NJ and PA.
I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist offering virtual therapy in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I work with women navigating anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, emotional overwhelm, motherhood, people-pleasing, and the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much. My approach is warm, relational, and practical, with room for both tenderness and real change.
Training and background
Clinical training, creativity, and a real respect for the whole person.
My work is grounded in evidence-based therapy while also honoring the body, nervous system, creativity, lived experience, and the relationship you are building with yourself when no one else is watching.
Clinical foundation
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling and years of experience supporting adults, children, teens, and families across a range of mental health settings.
Mind-body training
My background includes yoga, yoga therapy, mindfulness, movement-based practices, and somatic awareness. When useful, I help clients notice how emotions, stress, and old patterns show up in the body without making the work feel abstract.
Creative movement
My movement background includes cheerleading, partner dance, and circus inspired practices such as handstands, contortion, partner acrobatics, and aerial arts.
My approach
Compassionate, direct, and rooted in the whole self.
I do not believe therapy has to feel cold, stiff, or like you are being studied from across the room. I believe therapy can feel genuinely human: clear enough to name what matters, supportive enough to go beneath the surface, and direct enough to help something actually shift.
We look beneath the symptom.
Anxiety, burnout, self-criticism, people-pleasing, resentment, and disconnection often make more sense when we understand the story underneath them.
We include the body.
The body often holds what the mind has learned to explain away. We may use grounding, breath, awareness, movement, or nervous system support when it feels useful.
We rebuild self-trust.
Together, we work toward a relationship with yourself that feels less harsh, less performative, more compassionate, and more rooted.
Get to know me
The human part belongs here too.
Therapy is professional, and it should still feel human.
You are not sitting across from a blank wall. You are working
with a real person who brings warmth, creativity, groundedness,
curiosity, reflection, and a little playfulness into the room.
My hope is that this makes the work feel warm and supportive,
while still leaving room for depth, self-discovery, and real change.
Life outside therapy
How I spend my free time
Being a mommy to two beautiful little humans, growing as a woman, partner, therapist, and business owner, creating whenever I can, and learning constantly. Honestly, learning might be one of my favorite hobbies.
What I wish more women knew
You do not have to earn rest.
You do not have to prove your worthiness or carry everything alone. Your enoughness is not something you achieve. You are allowed to choose yourself without apology, rest without guilt, and love yourself without permission.
Places that shaped me
Countries I have traveled to
Indonesia, Thailand, Jamaica, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Mexico, China, Malaysia, the Bahamas — and counting. Thailand was especially meaningful because I spent five months there deepening my relationship with healing, movement, and myself.
Travel lessons
What traveling has taught me
Happiness is not hidden in faraway places. It is something you carry with you. You can find joy with very little, peace in unexpected moments, and clarity when you finally slow down. The world has taught me that life is choreography — a dance of people, places, and quiet pauses that shape who we become.
Another lifetime, same calling
If therapy were not my career
I would still find some way to teach, heal, and perform. I started teaching movement in high school — gymnastics, acrobatics, yoga, dance — and I never really stopped. That will always be part of me. I love the joy of telling a story without words.
A lesson life keeps teaching me
Peace is something I choose.
Life keeps reminding me that I always have the option to respond differently, breathe deeper, and come back to myself before reaching for anything outside of me.
Healing favorite
My most-used app for healing
Insight Timer. It is my favorite meditation app, hands down — and it is free. I love having simple practices available for grounding, reflection, breath, sleep, and returning to myself.
Learn about my journey
The person sitting across from you has a story too.
Let’s get real: you deserve to know the person sitting across from you. My journey page will be a place to share more about how therapy, movement, travel, motherhood, creativity, and self-love shaped the way I show up in this work.
