I am a licensed professional counselor in Oregon with over 19 years of experience working with adult, individuals, couples and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced difficult life transitions, physical trauma (including athletic injury) and abuse.
My treatment approach is rooted in relationship and the genuine goodness of all human beings. I believe that we are all striving for psychological balance and flexibility. We regularly face seemingly insurmountable obstacles such as shame, doubt, fear, anxiety and depression. In response, we seek out very reasonable strategies of short-term relief in effort to move away from these undesired internal states. I am most interested in helping you understand what you most value. From there I am invested in helping you accept and claim those values, lean into the undesired internal states and frightening external obstacles, and understand what coping styles may help you forge a path towards your long-term valued goals. With the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle, I strive to create an environment that helps you continuously move towards what is most important in your life.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and free life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tyson Rittenmeyer. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have worked with Tyson over the course of years not continuously but in spurts for a few months and then taking a break. Tyson understands my history and my family and work so I don't have to start over with him and we can pick up just where we left off. It's so great. It's like returning to an old friend except that he provides wise counsel, thoughtful questioning and helps me reflect and take action in a compassionate way. I am so grateful to have found someone who is a great fit for me and has helped me many times in my life .

Tyson has an incredible ability to focus in on the sometimes vague and/or disparate adjectives I toss out to describe my feelings, intentions, goals, questions, etc., and then to provide a concise, clear, single sentence. His ability to provide me with language to understand my own internal dialogues is worth every penny. He listens well and makes it clear that he is alongside you for the long haul, which is what I have been searching for for a very long time.
