Tyler Woody

Hi, I'm Tyler (he/they), a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Oregon and Colorado. I hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Colorado and have spent my career working with adults navigating complex trauma, dissociation, organizational or religious trauma, and institutional betrayal — the layered histories that don't fit neatly into a diagnosis. I work primarily with LGBTQIA+ adults, trauma survivors, and folks who've spent years holding it all together and are ready to stop performing that for a while. If therapy has felt clinical, rushed, or like you had to translate yourself to be understood, you're not alone in that. New clients see me through my private practice, Woody Counseling PLLC.

My work is collaborative, parts-aware, and paced for the person in front of you. I draw on IFS to help you know your inner system, EMDR for stuck memories, clinical hypnosis for change your thinking mind can't force, and somatic tracking so your body has a way to finish what it couldn't before. We move at your pace — I adjust the tools to fit you, not the other way around.

Starting therapy is a big thing, especially if you've been burned before or waited a long time to try again. Our first session is mostly about getting to know each other — what brought you in, what you're carrying, and what you'd like this work to move toward. I like to think of our time together as a road trip: you're the driver, choosing the direction and the topics that matter. I'm the passenger with a road map, offering knowledge and experience along the way. When we come to a crossroads, I may have a skill, question, or insight to offer, but you decide the course. I'd be glad to walk alongside you.
