Tyler Lords, LCSW — Therapist in Hawaii

Hi there, I'm Tyler!

I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, adjustment to medical conditions, LGBTQI+ concerns, and grief and loss. My goal is to help you feel better balanced and cope through life's transitions and challenges.

My focus

I'm a good fit for adults and teens who want to heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, loss, and grief. I specialize in helping people adapt to crises and transitions, adjust to illness, and process grief. My focus is listening with unconditional positive regard while strengthening your coping skills and exploring solutions toward wellness.

My approach

I use a patient-centered approach tailored to your needs. I most frequently draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Problem-Solving Therapy to help you feel better and make progress toward wellness and healing.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want you to feel comfortable speaking with me about anything you're feeling or thinking. I listen without judgment and work to make meaningful connections.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always wanted to help people find balance and wellness. People have told me I'm good at listening, and they feel comfortable sharing during stressful moments. I want to continue helping you make progress and feel better on your journey to health and wellness.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about working together on what you want to accomplish. We start by getting to know each other and building trust. In time, we'll set goals and track your progress on your journey to wellness and healing.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time exploring how you've been feeling recently. I'll ask questions to better understand what you're experiencing and why you're seeking therapy now. We'll work on building connection, and I'll create a comfortable environment where you can share openly without judgment.
