Get To Know Me

Tyler Higley, MA, LPC

Specialties

I specialize in working with teens, adults and couples dealing with issues that are taking away from their ability to live out the life they desire. These issues vary widely, but generally include depression, anxiety, stress, marriage/relationship problems, behavioral issues and more.

Approach

I believe all people generally have the resources to help themselves, yet sometimes simply need a safe, trustworthy professional to help work through issues, identify goals, make healthy decisions and take steps necessary to live life more fully. I use an integrative approach that draws largely from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solutions-focused and cognitive behavioral theories. I recognize and respect the fact that individuals have widely varying perspectives and needs. Lastly, I am fully virtual and offer either phone or video sessions. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible and meet you right where you’re at in order to connect, build trust and work together on whatever issue or goal you’re coming to me for help with. We can start with a brief, free phone consultation and go from there. I look forward to connecting with you!

Education & Certifications

I graduated with honors from Western Michigan University with my Masters in Counseling Psychology. In addition to other forms of professional development, I have completed the following trainings:

Personal Interests

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, golfing, riding my motorcycle, hiking, camping and more

Insurance

I am an in-network provider with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Blue Care Network. This means that we will submit claims for services rendered and accept the approved amount from the insurance company, minus any co-payments, deductible amounts or non-covered services that you are responsible for. If you use another insurance provider, we can talk through additional options you might have.

Cancellation Policy

If you miss an appointment without notice or cancel with less than 24 hours notice, there will be an out-of-pocket $100 late cancel/no-show fee. This policy is in place because I reserve that specific time slot exclusively for you. If you arrive late to a session, please understand that you might miss out on some of your allocated time.

What To Expect

Brief Phone Consultation

We'll start by having a brief phone consultation where we will talk a bit about what's going on for you, my approach to working with clients, payment and billing options, scheduling and clarifying next steps.

Call Me

Client Portal & Paperwork

I'll send you a client portal invitation where you can request future appointments, share documents with me, view and pay your bill and join our telehealth sessions.

Client Portal

First Appointment

Our first appointment will be 60-90 minutes and done via telehealth (phone or video). We'll go over the paperwork you completed beforehand, address any remaining questions or concerns you may have, get to know one another better, start exploring the issues that are bringing you to counseling and finish by clarifying the goals we have for the work we'll do together and scheduling your next appointment.
