About Tia

Tia Vaughn is dedicated to empowering her clients to recognize that their voices matter and their stories have intrinsic value. As a Therapist at Outpatient on Main, she provides comprehensive individual and group therapy focused on recovery and mental health stabilization. Tia’s clinical work involves conducting assessments, developing individualized treatment plans, and facilitating both process and psychoeducational groups. By fostering emotional awareness and healthy coping skills, she supports clients in achieving their long-term recovery goals and building a fulfilling life free from the need to numb through substances.

Tia brings three years of specialized experience in the field of substance use to Natural State Recovery Center. A Licensed Master Social Worker, she previously served as an Advanced Peer Support Specialist for the Lonoke County Sheriff’s Peers Achieving Collaborative Treatment (P.A.C.T) program. Her commitment to the community extends to her involvement with the Gatekeepers project in White County, where she provides vital mentorship and support to individuals transitioning out of incarceration or recovery programs.

Driven by her own journey as a person in long-term recovery—celebrating five years of sobriety on April 23, 2026—Tia’s work is deeply personal. She understands the devastation and hopelessness often felt during the initial moments of surrender and is inspired by witnessing clients rediscover their purpose and strength. Outside of her clinical role, Tia is an avid reader and hiker who enjoys exploring mountain waterfalls and cherishing time with her family.
