My name is Tyler White, LPC, and I have been providing guidance to others for over 5 years through consultation and therapy (groups and individuals). I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, sport and performance, trauma, self-doubt, grief, and other life changes that causes emotional conflict in life. I work with kids and adults who may be dealing with anxiety, past experiences, or big life changes and want a place to sort through it all. Many of the people I meet with are trying to better understand themselves, improve relationships, or find a clearer path forward when life feels uncertain. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—no pressure, no judgment. Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to, someone who listens closely and genuinely cares about helping them move toward the life they want.

Hello, and welcome. I’m a licensed counselor with over a decade of experience walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s emotional ups and downs. Since 2014, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people from all walks of life—teens, young adults, middle-aged individuals, and older adults—through a wide range of mental health challenges including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, psychosis, and substance use. I’ve worked in diverse settings—from traditional in-person offices to virtual and teletherapy spaces—because I believe mental health support should be accessible and flexible. No two journeys are the same, and I strive to meet clients where they are, both literally and emotionally. What I’ve learned through the years is that people aren’t looking for someone to “fix” them—they’re looking for someone to really listen, understand, and help guide them back to themselves. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or just not quite like yourself, my role is to help you explore those feelings safely and constructively. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and practical strategies. I work with you to build tools that help manage symptoms, reduce distress, and make everyday life feel more manageable again. Most importantly, I want to help you reconnect with the routines, relationships, and goals that matter most to you. Therapy isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. It’s about finding the courage to take that first step, and continuing to show up for yourself. If you're ready to take charge of your mental health, I’m here to support and empower you every step of the way.

Trauma and PTSD
Hi, I’m Dr. D. I help high-achieving professionals, executives, healthcare workers, first responders, ethnic minorities and indigenous people who are often successful in their careers but feel stuck or dissatisfied in other areas of life. Many clients struggle with burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, or recurring patterns that interfere with work, relationships, or daily routines. I know what it feels like to face these challenges—and I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to help you get unstuck and reclaim your life. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, an MS in Applied Psychology, and an MA in Professional Counseling. My integrative, trauma-informed approach combines Psychodynamic therapy (PD), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). This approach helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, leverage existing strengths, and implement actionable strategies for real-world, lasting change. I take a direct, no-nonsense approach, ideal for clients who are ready to take action immediately. Therapy starts in the very first session—you’ll leave with clarity, insight, and actionable steps toward personal growth, healing, and wholeness.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
