Tykeria Cowart
Hi, I'm Tykeria! I'm a licensed therapist who believes therapy should be a space where you can show up as yourself without fear of judgment. My approach is centered on creating a comfortable, supportive environment where we can work through life's challenges, build self-awareness, and create meaningful change. I believe growth looks different for everyone, and my goal is to meet you where you are while helping you get to where you want to be.
First session
Our first session is really about getting to know each other. I want to understand what brought you to therapy, what you've been experiencing, and what you hope to gain from our time together. I also want you to get a feel for my approach and decide whether we're a good fit. There's no pressure to share everything at once. We'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, supported, and a little more hopeful about what's ahead.
Strengths
I bring a balance of compassion, honesty, and accountability to my sessions. I'm not the therapist who will simply nod and agree with everything you say. I'll listen, validate your experiences, and create space for you to process, but I'll also challenge you when necessary. I believe meaningful growth happens when we feel supported enough to be vulnerable and comfortable enough to have honest conversations. My sessions are collaborative, conversational, and focused on helping you make progress beyond the therapy room.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with individuals who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, family dynamics, or simply trying to better understand themselves. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with boundaries, repeating unhealthy patterns, or just feeling stuck. My ideal client is someone who is open to exploring their experiences, gaining a different perspective, and making meaningful changes. You don't have to know where to start. We can figure that out together.
Origin story
My decision to become a therapist was influenced by my own upbringing and life experiences. Growing up, I became curious about how our childhood experiences, family dynamics, and environments shape who we are and how we navigate the world. I also came to understand the importance of having emotional support and a safe space to express yourself without judgment. Those experiences inspired me to become someone who could provide that support for others. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported, regardless of their background or circumstances. Being a therapist allows me to combine my passion for understanding people with my desire to help others heal, grow, and create healthier patterns in their lives.
Ongoing work together
As we continue working together, we'll begin identifying patterns, exploring underlying concerns, and developing practical strategies to help you navigate challenges differently. My approach is collaborative, but I'm also big on accountability. I'll support you through difficult moments while encouraging you to challenge thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. We'll regularly check in on your goals, celebrate progress, and make adjustments when needed. I want you to walk away from our sessions with more than just a place to vent. I want you to gain insight, build confidence, and develop tools you can use in your everyday life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize how their thoughts influence their emotions and behaviors. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge negative beliefs, and develop healthier ways of responding to difficult situations. My goal is to help you become more aware of your thoughts while building practical skills you can use outside of our sessions.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I believe therapy should help you move forward, not just understand what's holding you back. With a solution-focused approach, we'll identify your strengths, explore what's already working, and develop realistic steps toward your goals. I want you to leave our sessions feeling empowered and equipped to make meaningful changes.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe you deserve a space where you can be yourself without feeling judged. My approach is centered on building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I'll meet you where you are while helping you explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and work toward personal growth.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I help clients learn how to navigate difficult thoughts and emotions without allowing them to control their decisions. We'll work on accepting what cannot be changed, identifying what matters most to you, and taking steps toward living a life that aligns with your values.
Strength-Based
I believe everyone has strengths, even when they're struggling to recognize them. Together, we'll identify the qualities, experiences, and resources that have helped you navigate challenges and explore how to build on those strengths as you move forward.
