Tyler Goucher MA, AMFT

Through my intensive clinical training with a professional group practice, I have extensive experience navigating severe interpersonal conflict. I have worked directly with domestic violence victims and perpetrators, helping individuals and couples dismantle toxic cycles. I focus on rebuilding safety, establishing firm boundaries, and teaching practical communication to repair fractured bonds.

My background includes providing deep, trauma-informed care to individuals processing complex post-traumatic stress. Working with survivors of domestic violence and severe life disruption, I integrate evidence-based tools like CBT to help clients safely process triggers, manage emotional flooding, and reclaim control over their lives.

I specialize in working with families facing complex, high-stakes problems and systemic crises. My experience involves guiding fractured family units through transitions, intense hostility, and generational trauma. I focus on restoring emotional safety, improving communication, and fostering resilience across the whole family system.

I use Motivational Interviewing to help you overcome ambivalence and tap into your own internal drive for change. Instead of telling you what to do, we work collaboratively to clarify your personal goals, explore mixed feelings, and build the concrete confidence needed to take meaningful, self-directed steps forward.

My approach to CBT focuses on the powerful connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify and dismantle unhelpful, negative thought loops that fuel anxiety or keep you stuck in trauma responses. I provide practical, actionable tools you can use daily to reframe your mindset.

Utilizing systems-focused approaches (including ABFT and EFFT), I treat family conflict as a collective dynamic rather than blaming an individual. My experience with complex families and crisis situations allows me to guide units through hostile patterns, repair attachment fractures, and restore structural safety.
