Our Story
Founded in 2023, Behind the Veil Counseling, LLC was created to provide compassionate, accessible mental health care to teens, individuals, and families across Maryland. As a fully telehealth-based practice, we are committed to removing barriers to care—meeting clients where they are, both emotionally and physically, within a safe, supportive, and confidential space.
Under the leadership of Tiffany Batiste, LCPC, Behind the Veil Counseling was built with the belief that healing is not rushed, standardized, or one-size-fits-all. Our practice continues to grow and evolve alongside the individuals and families we serve, grounded in deep respect for each client’s faith, culture, and lived experience.
The Meaning Behind Our Name
“The veil” represents the inner experiences that often remain just out of reach—thoughts, emotions, memories, and patterns that live beneath the surface of awareness.
It exists in the space between:
- what we feel and what we understand
- what we know and what we’ve learned to keep hidden
- who we are and who we are becoming
At Behind the Veil Counseling, therapy is an invitation to explore what lies beyond that veil. With compassion, guidance, and curiosity, these hidden parts can be brought into awareness, where they lose their power and create space for healing, clarity, and deeper self-connection.
Our Philosophy
We believe that meaningful healing happens over time through intentional, personalized support. Our work is rooted in a client-centered approach that honors each person’s unique story, strengths, and values. Rather than prescribing solutions, we collaborate with clients to foster insight, resilience, and sustainable growth.
Every session is thoughtfully designed to support self-discovery and lasting transformation—because healing is deeply personal, not prescriptive. At Behind the Veil Counseling, we walk alongside you as you uncover, integrate, and reclaim the parts of yourself that lead to wholeness.
Our Approach
At Behind the Veil Counseling, our services are clinically grounded and evidence-based. Faith-based integration is available upon client request and incorporated only when clinically appropriate. We view therapy as a collaborative process rooted in understanding, hope, and growth.
Our approach emphasizes:
- Emotional insight
- Self-awareness
- Behavioral change through evidence-based modalities
Therapeutic interventions are selected collaboratively, with client autonomy and voice at the center of the process. We believe clients are active partners in their healing journey, and we are honored to walk alongside you every step of the way.
