Tyler Hoyt

I have nearly 20 years of experience providing evidence-based treatments for couples, families, children, and individuals across outpatient, intensive outpatient, and residential treatment settings. I utilize EFT and the Gottman Method with couples, I focus on Filial Play Therapy and PCIT principles with children utilizing parental attachments. I utilize ACT and Arbinger principles in much of my work with the adults I work with. I foster connections with my clients but especially between clients and their people, including their spiritual Connection.

Therapy is hard to do and I try to be informed by experience in therapy and vicariously through my clients' experiences--I am always learning from those I work with; I admire my clients and sincerely believe that understanding someone's story helps build compassion and respect and sets me up to honor their values in the work we do in striving for growth, continued maturation, and healing.

My first session is a get-to-know you and an overview of your paperwork together. Most couples, and people presenting for therapy are years behind when they need to start, so I try and hold space for immediate needs too. I am an expert, but not on you, I want and need and value your thoughts and guesses about your needs--I start with where you are and sincerely try to meet you where you are at in order to look to where we need to go. I will challenge you when I feel there is the need, but I try to utilize your perspective and momentum for changes you are willing and ready to engage in. I cannot ultimately make the changes you need to and find partnering in this is the ideal.
