Tyler Loder

I am Tyler Loder, LSCSW, BCD. I have been in clinical practice for 15 years with both the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense. I've worked with Veterans, First Responders, and Special Operations service members. I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and Board Certified Diplomate, I also teach in Academia and I have a keen interest in men's mental health issues.

Note: My private practice has no relationship with the federal government.

My primary philosophy has always been that the patient is the expert of their lives. I serve as a guide, a mirror and someone who can objectively look at difficulties in partnership with you to understand how best to work through them. I am multi-theoretical and integrative in my approach, including ACT as a primary treatment philosophy which incorporates a Values based approach to all behavior change, even in the midst of our most difficult days. I also utilize CBT, PE, REBT to help guide and direct the therapeutic process.

Symptom reduction, better quality of life, improved relationships (with self and others), behavior change. Please Note: I do not provide family or couples counseling at this time. I only provide 1:1 psychotherapy.
