Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.

I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.

For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.

Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.

Tyra Fort

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Rockwall, TX


As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe meaningful change begins with transforming the way we think and behave. When we shift our internal patterns, we create space for healthier, more adaptive responses to life’s challenges. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to build new skills that help you navigate the present with clarity and approach the future with confidence.

I specialize in individual counseling for adults and adolescents, offering support for depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, emotional trauma, and adolescent development.

My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen self‐awareness, and develop practical tools that support lasting, meaningful change.
