Tyler Hogan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • West Orange, NJ


I work with adults ages 18–50 navigating complex trauma (CPTSD), anxiety and stress, substance use, and mood disorders. Whether you are carrying the weight of past traumatic experiences, adjusting to a major life transition, struggling with relationships or work, or even simply feeling "stuck," it can be overwhelming. However, if you're reading this, it means you haven't given up hope and you don't have to face it alone. In our work together, you will find a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where you feel safe to speak openly and try new things, with encouragement, support, and maybe even a laugh or two along the way.
