Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Tyrell Clayton, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. I bring years of experience supporting adults, teens, and families through anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and major life transitions. My clinical background includes advanced training in DBT, CBT, and trauma recovery, and I’m committed to culturally responsive, person-centered care.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels collaborative, supportive, and grounded in trust. My approach is practical yet compassionate—I meet clients where they are, explore the deeper patterns affecting their wellbeing, and help them build new tools for lasting change. Whether we’re working on emotional regulation, healing from trauma, or reshaping unhelpful thinking, sessions are always guided by empathy, clarity, and a deep respect for your story.

What you can expect from me

Clients often leave sessions feeling more understood, more in control of their emotions, and more empowered to make intentional choices. I create a space that’s nonjudgmental, reflective, and focused on growth. Whether you’re just starting therapy or returning after a break, my goal is to help you gain insight, strengthen your resilience, and move forward with purpose.
