Iris Tanton , LMHC

Iris Tanton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of professional experience across a range of clinical settings. Raised in the United States as a first-generation Latina and having lived for many years in Spain as an expatriate, she brings a multicultural perspective to her therapeutic work. Her background also includes training in Culinary Arts and experience as a chef focused on healthy cooking, which informed an integrative approach to wellness that connects mind, body, and spirit.

She holds certification in Biofeedback and Culinary Health Coaching and has completed specialized training in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy for preparation and integration work. As a clinician and a parent of three adult children, Iris draws on both professional training and life experience to offer an empathic, compassionate stance toward clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, eating and body-image concerns, and other life transitions.

Her approach blends mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed interventions such as compassionate inquiry and parts work. Iris creates a nonjudgmental space for exploration and curiosity, helping people identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping skills, and cultivate meaningful change in their lives.
