Dr. Tyler Miles

Licensed Psychologist

My hope is you leave sessions feeling less alone, more understood, and more grounded in who you are—not just your role or achievements. Together we’ll peel back the pressure, perfectionism, and performance long enough to reconnect with yourself.

Whether you’re facing burnout, trauma, or a high-stakes environment, I aim to offer clarity, self-compassion, and tools to thrive—on your terms. You’ll be seen in the full context of your identities and lived experiences, including systemic barriers and cultural expectations.

I want high-performing individuals to experience support that doesn’t require them to perform.

Tyler Miles, Psy.D. Therapist DC

I’m drawn to people who are holding a lot. My background spans human rights and sport & performance psychology, and I work at the intersection of ambition and wellbeing—supporting people who are often seen as “strong” to get the care they deserve. Therapy with me is teamwork: we focus on what you can change, what you can’t, and how to tell the difference.

I especially enjoy working with athletes, executives, lawyers, performers, and government officials who look “together” on the outside but are struggling on the inside. You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a willingness to show up as you are.
