Tyler Connifey

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, perfectionism, burnout, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are capable, driven, and used to pushing through difficult things, but eventually find that the strategies that once helped them cope are no longer working.

My style is warm, collaborative, and structured. I want therapy to feel supportive, but I also believe it should have direction. Together, we will work to better understand the patterns keeping you stuck, develop practical skills for managing distress, and address the experiences or beliefs that continue to affect you. Depending on your needs, I draw from approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, exposure-based interventions, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based strategies.

Before entering private practice, I served as a Behavioral Health Officer in the U.S. Army, where I worked with people managing high levels of stress, demanding careers, trauma, burnout, relationship difficulties, and major transitions. That experience continues to inform my work, while my practice is open to adults from all backgrounds. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, talk openly, and do meaningful work toward lasting change.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and goal-oriented. I work to understand not only what you are struggling with, but also the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping those difficulties in place. From there, we will develop a treatment plan that fits your specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I draw from evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, exposure-based interventions, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based strategies. I tend to be active and engaged in session, and I want therapy to feel both supportive and purposeful.

Your first session is primarily about helping me understand what brings you to therapy, what has been happening in your life, and what you would like to be different. We will discuss your current concerns, relevant history, strengths, and goals, while also making sure you have space to ask questions and get a sense of whether I am a good fit for you.

I do not expect you to have everything figured out before we meet. By the end of the session, my goal is for us to have a clearer understanding of what you are experiencing and an initial direction for treatment. From there, we can begin building a more focused plan together.
