Mental Health Therapy in Madison, Mississippi

Hi, I’m Tyler Slay — a therapist specializing in mental health counseling for anxiety, OCD, trauma, and PTSD. I provide therapy for teens and adults who are ready to move beyond fear and start living more fully.

I’m especially drawn to working with people who feel stuck in their minds — smart, capable, successful individuals who just can’t seem to enjoy life the way they want because of anxiety or OCD.

While OCD is a core specialty, I work with people facing all forms of anxiety — including panic attacks, religious scrupulosity, health anxiety, social anxiety, perfectionism, PTSD, and generalized worry.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, warm, and in-depth. We won’t just talk about symptoms — we’ll talk about you: your goals, your story, and what makes life meaningful for you. Progress doesn’t have to happen overnight, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I aim to provide anxiety therapy that strikes a balance of gentleness and effectiveness.

Because I’m from Central Mississippi, I’m also well-connected to other mental health providers in the area. If you need additional support, I can help you build the right team for your needs — just like I’ve done for many of my clients.

I'm really glad you're here. It takes real strength to take this step, and I’m looking forward to supporting you as you move toward greater health and resilience.

Where I Work

 

I work at The Center for Hope and Healing at Broadmoor, a church-based counseling center affiliated with Broadmoor Baptist Church. The address is 212 Key Drive, Madison, MS. I offer online counseling services to anyone in the state of Mississippi.

I enjoy discussing how faith can help us overcome anxiety, but I am also happy to work with clients who are unsure of their faith or prefer not to integrate faith into therapy. I’ll meet you where you are.

Why Understanding Your Story Matters
Why Understanding Your Story Matters

When we don’t understand and accept our own stories, we will find that we constantly judge both ourselves and others. We will keep reading and listening to self-help advice or maybe even sermons, looking for tips and tricks to help us stop spending money, tell people no, take risks, hold our tongues, stop bad habits, express ourselves honestly, or tolerate other people’s bad moods. The advice helps, but it lacks valuable context. The tips and tricks are missing the emotional depth and detail that motivate us to continue with real, lasting acceptance and change.

What is OCD?
What is OCD?

The issue, however, is that OCD is a paradox. The more you engage in these compulsions—those mental and physical behaviors that temporarily reduce your distress—the more your long-term distress increases. You may feel unable to do or not do certain things, fearing that not engaging in the compulsive behavior will leave you feeling so miserable that life won’t be worth living. Ironically, refraining from these mental and behavioral compulsions is where true freedom is found.

"They are really fighting shadows—things they have already lived through but are still trying to avoid or control in their current world. Their anxiety is a repetition, a representation of that old wound—now placed onto a new topic or person."
