Great to meet you!

Hello! I’m Tykera Tolson, a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) and Board Approved Supervisor in Maryland with 10+ years of behavioral health experience. I offer a warm, collaborative, trauma-informed approach to help individuals and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, and relationship strain. With a background in schools, primary care, and care coordination, I’m dedicated to empowering your healing journey. Let’s work together to help you thrive!

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is all about teamwork and creating a warm, welcoming space where you can truly be yourself! I use a strengths perspective, which means we will focus on the incredible resilience and tools you already possess to help you navigate challenges like anxiety, trauma, grief, or burnout. Together, we will work on practical, everyday steps to improve your overall quality of life and help you find your joy again. I believe therapy should never feel intimidating, so I bring a down-to-earth, supportive energy to make sure you feel entirely comfortable as we tackle this journey together!

What you can expect from me

From day one, my goal is to provide a safe, affirming space for open and honest dialogue. Our first appointment is dedicated to building mutual trust, meeting you where you are, and establishing clear, collaborative expectations for your therapeutic journey.
