Dr. Tyra Thompson

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from University of Maryland University College, a Master of Science Degree in Marriage & Family Counseling Therapy and a PhD in Advanced Studies in Human Behavior from Capella University.

I specialize in working with couples experiencing communication difficulties, conflict, trust issues, infidelity, intimacy concerns, life transitions, and relationship distress. I work with couples of all backgrounds and identities and provide an LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive environment.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel supported, but also challenged to grow. I strive to create an environment where clients feel heard and understood while also encouraging honest reflection, personal accountability, and meaningful change. My goal is to help couples strengthen their connection, improve communication, rebuild trust, and create healthier ways of relating to one another.

Please note that I offer couples therapy on a self-pay basis only. Insurance companies generally reimburse services that are tied to an individual's mental health diagnosis and do not typically cover relationship or couples counseling. My fee for couples therapy is $150 per session.

My approach is supportive, compassionate, and encouraging, with an emphasis on creating a safe and comfortable space where both partners feel heard and understood. Together, we explore underlying concerns and develop practical, meaningful solutions. In my work, I draw from evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, Prepare-Enrich, and trauma-informed practices to help couples build healthier, more resilient relationships.

In therapy we will create therapy goals and a treatment plan to guide us through your therapy journey. I also provide homework in many sessions to help in reaching goals. We will discuss issues, problem solve, dive-deep at times and overall help to reach your goals better your overall well-being.
