I specialize in working with children, tweens and teens that are navigating a difficult world full of messages about how you “should” show up. I utilize play therapy, sand tray, expressive arts, mindfulness, nature and talk to peel back layers to help children and teens live authentically as themselves, while also fostering coping skills for the obstacles life can throw their way. I believe that a safe, nurturing relationship is at the heart of the therapeutic process and show up as I am-imperfect, flawed and human. During our time together, I will view you as the expert of your life.

Thanks for taking time to view my information. I try to be what I would look for in a psychologist: someone who is tactful, cares about the person, and responds with both knowledge and compassion. You will find me to be interactive. I will not sit silently or simply reflect what you just said. I will let you know my perceptions and discuss research, making suggestions on ways to feel better. I tend to focus both on your emotions and your thoughts. You will do most of the talking, but you will get a genuine reaction from me.

I believe the therapeutic relationship should be authentic and emotionally safe for you. I am practical and honest with feedback and have a laid back and warm approach. I will go at the pace you set and provide insight and encouragement. I will be respectful of your cultural, spiritual and lifestyle choices.

Your story is so much bigger than whatever brings you to therapy. I'm Dr. Kyler Shumway, and I joined the field of psychology because I know what it's like to lose momentum, to feel defeated, to be lost. I know what it's like to feel alone, like no one else can or wants to understand. I know what it's like to be tormented by the ghosts of your past. And -- I know what it's like to move forward, overcome, and courageously confront the things that bring you suffering. I believe that you can do that, too.

I view therapy as a deeply transformative experience where people may discover more of who they are and ultimately find a greater sense of peace. Our suffering is often a result of a complex set of circumstances involving our sense of self, our relationships with others, our thoughts, and our feelings. I believe each person deserves to be understood in all of his or her complexity. It is only within an open and accepting relationship with another that we can begin to experience ourselves and our relationships in a new and healing way.

I specialize in working with men and women in a variety of areas that include relationships, conflict management, infidelity, life transitions, executive coaching, depression and anxiety. My work focuses on identifying areas of conflict that allow you to gain insight and move to resolve challenges effectively and efficiently. You can strengthen your relationships with others by understanding ways to communicate and resolve conflict both personally and professionally. Please visit my website for details. I provide counseling that is authentic, conversational and compassionately direct as I truly care about your success.

I believe that sometimes in our lives we need guidance with difficult decisions and challenging life circumstances. Psychotherapy can be beneficial to every person. Adolescents and children often need specialized treatment to help them become competent independent adults. Parents seek to have their children develop healthy values and beliefs. Getting these behaviors to take root requires a clear plan, based on sound scientific theory. This can be a challenging and frustrating journey. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques based on years of experience to identify my clients needs and provide the best direction.

Relationships are what fulfill us most. The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself, as it lays the foundation for all other relationships in your life. As a therapist, I understand that the path to a fulfilling life starts from within. Therapy is a deeply personal process that has the potential to completely transform how you view the world around you. Change is possible. My mission is to help you understand the problems you are facing and to find meaningful solutions that work best for you.

Something isn't working in your relationship. Maybe the conflict is leaving you hurt or hopeless. Or there's been an affair, and you can't get back to normal. Perhaps you're an entrepreneur, and the stress of the business is poisoning the relationship. You might even be on the brink of calling it quits-unsure if you really want to stay or go. It can be easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. I offer Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a research-based and goal-oriented approach to reducing conflict, improving communication, rebuilding trust and intimacy, and healing your relationship.

Life and relationship challenges usually need more than talk to get through successfully. This is why I specialize in approaches where mind and body work together. Providing healing experiences in therapy, I work collaboratively with you to find ways to change and grow that work for your unique situation. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I've had the master's level training of individual counselors, in addition to training focused on the 'systems' of relationships. I am also PACT and EMDR trained therapist; I have additional training in sexual issues, chronic illness and infertility.

*OFFERING TELETHERAPY/ONLINE COUNSELING TO TEXAS RESIDENTS Do you feel stressed-out or overwhelmed with anxiety and over-thinking? Does your life look put together on the outside, but inside you feel something's missing, or you're not where you “should” be? You're not alone. We all go through seasons in life where we need someone to help; someone to listen without judgment. I provide compassionate support and guidance so you can sort out your problems, learn to manage your emotions, and develop strategies to shift from emotional chaos to clarity.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who experience a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment-related concerns.

I work well with adults who wish to deepen their relationships with primary partners, children, their family of origin, friends or colleagues. Many of my patients are seeking help with issues from early childhood, including trauma and child abuse. Others want to understand and function better in their marriages/partnerships. Some patients need to end their partnerships and I will work with them to do so in a collaborative manner. Adults in my practice may be coping with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, personality disorders, dissociative disorders and/or addictions. Together, we work to create insight into these issues.

I understand well that all of us are being affected by COVID-19 at this time. Please know that uncertainty and fear is normal and you don't have to wonder "what is wrong with me?" Grief is also normal and healthy, just terribly painful. Also, are you feeling "stuck" in your life, in your work, or in your relationship? Have you ever said to yourself, or your partner, "I am done!"? I hear these comments frequently in my office as our work begins. Then, through your efforts, new skills get developed and relief, growth and health returns.

I believe we live life in relationship with others. Therapy can help us tap into our potential to live more enjoyable and meaningful lives. From our earliest memories as part of our development, we begin to learn and practice how to interact with others as part of a family. Understanding these experiences influences how we relate to family, friends, and peers as well as impacts our ability to adapt successfully in life. Whether it’s a relationship crisis, a life transition, family stress, or other challenging life issue, I will provide you with behavioral and relational tools that can bring about restoration, healing, and growth.
