Tyson listens attentively and will offer insightful feedback with suggestions and or questions to get to the root of what the real issue is. I have never felt like he makes judgements about anything I share, and I have shared a lot. His calm demeanor is comforting, and I trust him to give me the help I need. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

This has and is literally changing my life in a great way to help me become the man I already expect myself to be. I’m beyond happy with Tyson, he has answers, he helps me understand things in different ways, he’s an excellent listener, and you can tell he’s a fan of his job and it shows!!! Being a man and admitting you need therapy for mental Health reasons is harder to admit than anyone that hasn’t accepted it yet can even realize. Once I accepted that information I recommend it to everyone because it works. Great app, great experience, great therapist, for sure I’ll be a customer for many, many years to come.
Tyson taught me a lot during our sessions and I felt heard. He has a very professional and calm way of explaining things. I highly recommend him as a Clinician.
Incredibly patient, thoughtful with responses, and incredibly respectful. Also demonstrates an effective balance of encouraging one to take responsibility of implementing changes in day to day life, outside of sessions.
Tyson is and has been very patient and understanding. He takes the time to ask the questions that need to be asked; doing it in a calming way and making certain I know and feel that I am in a safe environment.
I like how Tyler seeks to understand, it makes me feel heard and I appreciate his approach to conversations.
