Tyler Woodall, LPC

Staff Therapist

Philosophy

Therapy is a space to work through what hurts and make room for what is still becoming.

We begin this work with curiosity, warmth, and care. Symptoms, patterns, conflicts, and defenses often carry meaning. They can create real suffering and reveal something important about what a person has lived, needed, feared, protected, and repeated.

My office is not a place to be fixed or managed. It is a space where what has been troubling can be held with care, understood in context, and given room to change over time.

This work is something we do together in an attentive, living relationship. We pay attention to how someone relates to themselves, others, and the world at large. I believe this kind of relationship is essential to lasting and meaningful change.

Tyler M. Woodall is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and Colorado. He received his Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Abilene Christian University and is EMDR trained.

His clinical work is grounded in relational and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Tyler works with adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, shame, compulsive patterns, relational concerns, and the ways suffering can shape a person’s inner life, relationships, and sense of self. He is especially interested in helping people develop a more collaborative relationship with themselves, deepen their capacity for reflection, and understand the patterns that repeat across their lives and relationships.

Tyler’s work is attentive to complexity and the dynamics that emerge within the therapeutic relationship. His clinical approach is informed by psychoanalytic thought, trauma-informed care, and systemic thinking, with attention to how suffering is shaped by family, attachment, culture, community, and a person’s relationship with themselves and others.

This same interest in inner life, relational patterns, and the larger social world shapes Tyler’s involvement in psychoanalytic education and community. He currently serves as President-Elect of the Dallas Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology, where he helps support rigorous psychoanalytic learning and community among clinicians. He is also active in community psychoanalysis coursework through the Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis, with anticipated completion in May 2027.

Across his clinical work and professional involvement, Tyler is committed to thoughtful, relational, and sensible engagement.
