Sessions are usually weekly at this point and Tyler collaborates with his clients to work on their personal goals.

My approach to psychotherapy is Jungian-oriented. Jungian-oriented psychotherapy seeks to help the Client understand "the story beneath the story" by making unconscious material conscious over a period of time. This type of psychotherapy is typically long-term and unfolds over a number of months. The belief is that the more conscious an individual is of the contents of his or her psyche, the more the individual will be able to make choices based out of that consciousness as opposed to unconsciously repeating the same behavior despite efforts to change. My approach can include dream work and active imagination to access unconscious material.

Individuals enter into psychotherapy to enhance their well being and reduce suffering. Psychotherapy theories provide a structure for counselors to decipher a client’s thoughts, behavior, and feelings and aid in navigating a client’s journey from diagnosis to post-treatment. My approach to psychotherapy is more eclectic which means I use various techniques based on the client's needs. My frame renders the lens by which I attend and organize the exhibiting problems of my clients and narratives. It further orients me to define distinct issues and themes, which in turn direct me to hypothesize and lead me to consider integrated treatment goals and desired results.
