Your free 20-minute consult
A relaxed phone call. Here's how it goes.
No paperwork, no pressure. A short conversation so you can decide if working together feels right.
Minutes 0–3
Quick hello
I'll call at the time you booked. We'll skip the small talk and ease in.
Minutes 3–15
What's bringing you in
Share as much or as little as you'd like. I'll ask a few questions and walk through how I work.
Minutes 15–20
Decide together
If it feels like a fit, we schedule a first session. If not, I'll point you toward someone who may be.
What I help with
Areas of focus.
I work with adults moving through the experiences below. If something here resonates — even loosely — it's worth a conversation.
Depression & low mood
Heavy fatigue or a quieter flatness. We look beneath the surface and make small, real shifts back toward the parts of life that matter.
Life transitions
New job, new city, new chapter, new version of you. A place to make sense of change without rushing through it.
Identity & self-worth
The careful, unhurried work of figuring out who you are underneath what you were taught to be.
Relationships & patterns
We notice the dynamics you keep finding yourself inside — and what it would take to do something different.
Grief & loss
For people, places, identities, and futures. Whatever you've lost, you don't have to make sense of it alone.
Is this a fit?
Therapy works best when the match is right.
A quick way to gauge whether my practice is the right place to start. If you're unsure, the consult is the best way to find out.
A good fit if…
- You're an adult living in California
- You're open to weekly sessions, at least to start
- You want a thoughtful, collaborative relationship with your therapist
- You're navigating anxiety, identity, transitions, or relational patterns
- You're comfortable meeting over secure video
Probably not a fit if…
- You're under 18, or located outside California
- You're in active crisis or need a higher level of care (please call 988 or 911)
- You're seeking medication management (I'm happy to refer)
- You're seeking court-ordered evaluations or custody assessments
- You're looking for couples or family therapy as a primary focus

About Tyler
A grounded space to think out loud.
I'm Tyler McEwen, LCSW (#[LICENSE NUMBER]), based in [CITY], California. My practice is fully telehealth and serves adults located anywhere in the state.
My approach is collaborative, relational, and direct. I draw from evidence-based modalities — including CBT, ACT, and IFS-informed work — and shape what we do around what's actually useful for you.
More about meBetween sessions
The work continues, gently.
Therapy isn't only what happens on the call. It's the small, consistent practices that take root in the rest of your week — a slower morning, a walk without your phone, a few honest minutes in a notebook.
We'll often build a few of these together. Not as homework — as scaffolding. Quiet places to keep noticing what's true for you.
