Hello, my name is Chaya Tyk, and I am a Licensed Social Worker. I am passionate about helping individuals and families find greater connection to themselves, to meaningful relationships, and to what makes them optimally function and feel whole. I believe that people thrive with a sense of direction and empowerment, and I help my clients identify their internal resources that will allow them to reach their fullest potential. I see individuals as complex, with their past experiences affecting their core beliefs and how they approach life. I aid my clients in developing healthier beliefs that will enhance their positive sense of self and connections with others. I mainly use an interpersonal approach, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and solution focus methods of therapy. I work to establish safety and trust in building a therapeutic alliance and approach the process in a collaborative manner towards accomplishing established goals. What I like to do for self care is spend time in nature, read, and be with my family and friends.
