Depth Therapy For Adults
You’re not here for quick fixes. You’re here because you want to understand yourself more deeply. Therapy with me isn’t about slapping on coping skills and moving on. It’s about slowing down, unpacking the patterns you’ve carried for years, and building a real, ongoing relationship where we explore your inner world together.
What Therapy Looks Like Here
We slow down enough to notice what’s under the surface.
We look at your story — especially early relationships — to understand why certain feelings or patterns keep showing up.
We work together, not in a “therapist tells you what to do” way, but in a curious, compassionate partnership.
Common Reasons Clients Come To Me
Healing from complex or relational trauma
Untangling patterns of narcissistic abuse or going no contact with family
Exploring sexuality, gender, or identity after trauma
Living with lifelong depression that hasn’t eased with quick fixes
Struggling with attachment wounds and wanting to understand their roots
Making sense of recurring dreams or inner imagery
Wanting a long-term, ongoing relationship with a therapist for real change
What Can Change
Understand yourself more deeply — and uncover why you do what you do
Notice old patterns in real time, and start choosing new ways of being
Feel more grounded in your body, less reactive in relationships
Build self-trust that isn’t tied to performance or achievement
Set boundaries with clarity and care, not guilt
About Me
I’m Tyler Ricks (she/her) — a Black, psychodynamic therapist offering adult therapy in San Marcos and online across Texas. I get the pressure of holding it all together, and I know the quiet cost it can take. In our work, there’s space for your full story — the parts you show the world and the parts you’ve been hiding.
I pay close attention to how you show up emotionally, relationally, and even in the therapy room itself. We work with the parts of you that have learned to shut down, smile through the pain, or over-function to stay safe. If you’ve had therapy before that felt too polite, too vague, or too shallow… you’re in the right place.
