Colby Tyson

Colby Tyson is a dedicated Licensed Mental Health Counselor whose passion for supporting others began in early adulthood. With a strong foundation in behavioral health, he spent six years working as a Registered Behavior Technician with individuals on the autism spectrum while pursuing his academic path. He holds a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Criminology from the University of New Mexico and a master's degree in Psychology from Arizona State University.

Colby works with individuals ages 5 to 60, and is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). He blends these evidence-based practices with a trauma-informed, humanistic approach that honors each client's lived experience. With deep respect for the impact of early attachment, relational wounds, and systemic dynamics, Colby also incorporates family systems theory into his work to help clients understand how family roles, patterns, and intergenerational influences affect their current functioning and relationships.

His clinical experience includes working in outpatient settings treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. Colby creates a safe, supportive therapeutic space where clients can begin to unpack their experiences, strengthen their coping skills, and reconnect with their inner resilience. He is particularly skilled at helping clients navigate complex family dynamics, heal from relational trauma, and rebuild a sense of empowerment.

Colby believes healing happens in the context of connection and is committed to walking alongside his clients with compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. His goal is to support lasting change by addressing both individual challenges and the broader systems that shape a client's mental and emotional well-being.
