My name is Selena, and I am a seasoned therapist with more than ten years of experience. I spent a great deal of time in theater, and I finally settled on Counseling as a profession in my late twenties. I was afraid of not being a good fit for the position, but when I sat down with my first client, I knew it was right.
Selena Tyler, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor (she, her)
- Appointments: Both in-person and telehealth
- Manage Medications: No, provides therapy only
My experience in working with clients has taught me that I am not the perfect therapist for everyone. I use metaphors and my writing background to help clients view their worlds in a different way. I have trained with EMDR and utilize it with clients to assist in managing trauma. I have worked with clients struggling with addictions of many kinds, and I utilize ACT and narrative therapy on a regular basis.
I am a good listener and I allow for silence when it is required for growth. I believe that people grow when they have been pushed into their discomfort zone, and I do my best to support each client in that journey.
My calling to be a therapist comes primarily from my ability to empathize with others. I do not shy away from grief, depression, anxiety or trauma.
