Tyler Gulyas
I am passionate about the impact of spirituality in mental health therapy. As an attachment informed humanist LPCC, I consider the bio-psycho-social-spiritual/existential condition of the folks with whom I work. Healing is a matter of integrating the disparate and fragmented parts of life.

Empathy, acceptance, positive regard, and genuineness are crucial elements for effective therapy and these are the characteristics I seek to cultivate in my practice. As far as a specific toolkit, CBT and Motivational Interviewing are the primary evidence based methodologies I employ to be with people in their self-paced, goal oriented healing efforts. Those who want to examine the angst, anxiety, disquiet, and friction in their lives will find a fellow traveler in me.
First session
Safety and strong rapport are foundational to successful therapy. Our first session is the initial opportunity to establish a safe, effective, and healing relationship. My goal is be a empathetic, accepting, and a genuine presence. First sessions are all about getting to know you, what makes you who you are, what you want to work on, and how I can walk with you in the process.
Strengths
Tough conversations and self reflection are difficult and can be like standing too close to a fire. I have learned how to do this effectively. By bringing the research and best practices of psychology to bare, I have been honored to be present for dozens of healing journeys.
Ideal clients
Not everyone is going to feel at home within their culture and wider society. I work well with folks who are questioning the norms around them, who find themselves regretting the past or worried about a very uncertain future, who are forming their identity, and those struggling with meaning, purpose, and motivation. Folks trying to integrate past trauma into a healthy future are a joy to work with. I welcome anyone who wants to stop and reflect.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My theory of personality is Existential/Humanistic. This informs my work and how I understand psychotherapy. CBT is the means by which I address mental health struggles in my practice of psychotherapy.
Existential
Spirituality is a often overlooked dimension of our lives. Spiritually informed care is a crucial part of my practice.
