About Dr. Tiffany Towers:

Dr. Tiffany Towers has integrated holistic modalities into Seasons’ treatment approach based on her understanding that healing must address the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. Her doctoral research on drama therapy techniques for veteran reintegration demonstrated her early commitment to non-traditional therapeutic approaches that engage multiple dimensions of human experience. This research background, combined with her theatrical training at institutions like Yale School of Drama, has given her deep appreciation for how physical practices can unlock emotional and psychological healing.

With her extensive clinical experience across diverse treatment settings, Dr. Towers has witnessed how traditional talk therapy alone often falls short for clients dealing with trauma, addiction, and complex mental health issues. Her understanding of the nervous system’s role in healing has led her to incorporate body-based interventions that help regulate the physiological aspects of anxiety, depression, and trauma responses. She recognizes that many clients arrive at treatment disconnected from their bodies due to years of substance use or dissociation from painful experiences.

As Clinical Director, Dr. Towers has carefully curated these holistic offerings to complement rather than replace evidence-based clinical interventions. Her approach reflects the growing body of research showing that practices like yoga, meditation, and acupuncture can significantly enhance traditional therapeutic outcomes. She particularly values the distinction between spirituality and religion, creating space for clients to explore meaning-making and connection without prescriptive religious frameworks that might not align with their personal beliefs.

Tell me more about the holistic modalities.

Some of the holistic modalities that we offer here at Seasons include massages, facials, acupuncture, yoga sessions both individual and group, meditation and mindfulness, spirituality (which is not the same thing as a religious session), and personal training sessions at our gym.

Key Insights:

Dr. Towers presents a comprehensive approach to healing that recognizes the interconnection between physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. The inclusion of both individual and group yoga sessions acknowledges that some clients need personal attention to build confidence or address specific physical limitations, while others benefit from community practice.

The distinction between spirituality and religion is particularly important, as it allows clients to explore questions of meaning, purpose, and connection without feeling pressured to adopt specific religious beliefs. This approach honors diverse backgrounds and belief systems while still addressing the spiritual dimension of recovery.

The range from luxury services like massages and facials to fitness training shows recognition that self-care takes many forms. For clients who may have neglected their physical selves during active addiction or mental health struggles, these services can help rebuild a positive relationship with their body.

The inclusion of an on-site gym with personal training demonstrates commitment to physical wellness as a foundation for mental health recovery, recognizing the powerful connection between exercise and mood regulation.
