As a dedicated therapist with a master's degree in social work from Wayne State University. My mission is to empower clients to achieve mental clarity & emotional balance through proven therapeutic techniques and compassionate care to help clients achieve their goals with my genuine commitment, empathy, respect. My extensive training and experience have equipped me with skills to support clients mental health with various life changes, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, and/or trauma.
When life gives you lemons...
My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.
In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.
Learning to love the desert
I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.
There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.
Hello and welcome.
I’m a licensed therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families across a range of settings—including colleges, group practices, healthcare systems, and now in my private practice. My clinical foundation includes seven years of graduate training (MS and PhD), and I began my career as a social worker in non-profit LGBT health and hospital inpatient care.
I specialize in trauma-informed care and work with people navigating depression, anxiety, and overwhelming stress.
I typically work with clients long-term, building a therapeutic relationship grounded in warmth, honesty, and trust. I’m easy to talk to, and I invite collaboration and transparency in every session—believing that healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and empowered.
I work with children and teens (ages 7+), young adults, adults, couples, families, and relationship partners. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or navigating challenges in your relationships, I’m here to help you move toward a more connected and fulfilling life.
I am intuitive and open minded. I believe it is important for the client to be safe and comfortable to share the good and the bad. If you feel an approach is not working feel free to be honest about this in session so we can discuss options to get past stuck points.
I enjoy connecting with clients by learning their individual stories. By understanding my clients, I can connect them to a specific modality for treatment. I am empathic and caring. My goal is to support each of my clients reflect on their lives and become emotionally strong.

Hi there, my name is Tyler White, and I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 5 years. I'm a young clinician that enjoys connecting with individuals and going on their journey with them. Born and raised in the metropolitan Detroit area, I received my bachelor's of arts degree in psychology from Oakland University and earned my Master of Social Work at Wayne State University. I work mainly with adults but have an interest and a passion for working with individual in the 20's and 30's (and up). To help them explore their anxieties, relationship difficulties, depressive features and the many different transitions or changes within their lives. Which can cause many uncertainties, distress, and lack of connection.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor working in the field with adults and couples for the last 6 years. I have worked with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual identity issues, and addiction. There is not a population of people I feel uncomfortable working with.
