Intentional Therapy’s Providers
Dr. Tiffany Figueroa PsyD., LMFT
Dr. Jeremy Teschera PsyD., LMFT
We tenderly call ourselves wounded healers. We are no strangers to trauma and the complexities of relationships and life. Our personal experiences with individual therapy and couples therapy revealed pathways to a fuller life and we want to share them with you.
Therapy is a portal to healing and transformation. We believe that attending to your mental health and improving the relationships that you are in can significantly enhance the quality of your life. Intentional Therapy was created to help you with that process.
OUR MISSION is to provide personalized therapeutic methods and evidenced based practices that cater to your individual needs and goals, with the aim of fostering long-lasting positive transformation in your life.
This practice that you’ve discovered is truly distinctive, with a noteworthy aspect being the sharing of experiences by Dr. Tiffany and Dr. Jeremy – a married couple sharing life for over 11 years. Additionally, Dr. Tiffany and Dr. Jeremy bring a decade of professional experience as practicing therapists to their work.
As you can imagine the two have been through a multitude of life experiences separately and together. Those experiences were the catalyst for studying and developing the niches of the practice which include but are not limited to couples topics, trauma work, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), cancer, grief, loss, anxiety, athletes, performance and productivity.

Intentional Therapy
We invite you on a journey through Intentional Therapy’s logo.
Take a moment to appreciate the intricate details - the arches, the curtains, the life within the olive tree, the terrace, and paradise ahead.
Now, take a few deep breaths and surrender to the artistic visualization of therapy.
Visualize yourself at the entryway. Feet planted—the cool breeze flowing through your hair and gently kissing your skin. Take a few more deep breaths. Unclench your jaw. Relax your shoulders.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Time to step out of your comfort zone and pull the curtain aside. Fill yourself with the hope of possibilities as you gaze around and ahead.
Each arch symbolizes a different aspect of your life that are calling for your attention. With loving care you attend to them. You process and move through each arch.
As you journey through the arches you are greeted with the olive branches, which will fill you with peace and tranquility. You notice things seem to feel better: shoulders less tense, you feel lighter and unbothered, more self-aware.
You are INTENTIONAL.
Now you glide through the arches, eagerly pulling the next curtain aside.
Through the work, you are greeted with paradise.
Feet planted on the terrace you realize that your perspective has forever changed and things look and feel different on the other side.

Where shall we start?
Cancer
Therapy plays a pivotal role for individuals touched by cancer, offering crucial emotional support throughout the multitude of challenges that come with it (diagnosis, treatment, side-effects, hair loss, scars, self-image, scanxiety, the list goes on). Therapy assists in creating a sense of control, contributing to overall well-being despite the adversities posed by cancer.
Tiffany and Jeremy share a deep understanding of the cancer experience.
Oftentimes, it is a breath of fresh air when someone can personally validate your experience.
Athletes
Therapy can benefit athletes by addressing performance-related stress, improving mental resilience, managing competition pressure, and enhancing focus. Additionally, it aids in navigating injuries, fostering a positive mindset, and improving overall well-being, contributing to peak athletic performance. Therapy also benefits retired athletes and those affected by career ending injuries. Therapy provides a crucial support system, addressing mental health challenges and aiding in the transition to life beyond sports.
P & P
Performance & Productivity
Therapy can enhance performance and productivity by providing a supportive space to address and manage stress, eliminate burnout, improve emotional well-being, enhance self-awareness, and develop coping strategies.

Does therapy work?
“The best way out is always through.”
-Robert Frost
Research indicates that therapy has demonstrated significant improvement in emotional and psychological well-being, and it is connected to beneficial changes in the brain and body.
The brain changes resulting from psychotherapy closely parallel those induced by medication, indicating similar impacts on mental well-being.
