"Be that self which one truly is."
-Soren Kierkegaard
All human beings need love and connection to survive. What happens when love and connection are damaged, betrayed, or seemingly absent? The answer is in you, at Pinnacle we aim to create a space and relationship where you can be your genuine, authentic self so that processing life's difficulties feels safe. We are honored to hold space for deep feelings, and painful memories to help you along your journey to wellness. You will practice and experience healthy attachment and take it with you into the world. Come be yourself and discover how absolutely, wonderfully important you are.

Hi, I'm Tyson 😊
I'm a father and a husband, and I have a particular passion for teaching and learning about the brain and body. I have been working in the mental health field in Washington and Idaho for the last 12 years. That time was spent in private residential programs, hospitals, and public schools serving children, adults, and families. Working in both private and public mental health systems, along with life experience, has led me here. I love what I do, and my focus is on providing a safe space for people to explore who they are, what they want, and have some fun learning some skills along the way.

Who am I? That is a great question and I believe that who we are works on a continuum. Over the years, I find that it is such an honor to be part of the journey with people as they figure out who they are, process what has happened to them, and discover life's WD-40 to help them get "unstuck."

Who am I? That is a great question and I believe that who we are works on a continuum. Over the years, I find that it is such an honor to be part of the journey with people as they figure out who they are, process what has happened to them, and discover life's WD-40 to help them get "unstuck." Everyone has it in them to heal, everyone deserves to feel safe and nurtured in times of hardship. I am a Spokane native and EWU and Gonzaga graduate. I have been practicing mental healthy therapy in Spokane and Idaho for 12 years. In my free time I love spending time with friends, family, and animals listening to music or just catching up.
Our Therapy
Treatment
Tyson and Christina treat a variety of mental health problems with many different, innovative, and thoughtful approaches, including: EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, psycho-education, cognitive processing, emotion focused therapy, psychodynamic, experiential, play and art therapy, and person-centered humanistic approaches. Tyson and Christina provide individual, group, couples, and family therapy.
Trauma
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Tyson and Christina both provide EMDR treatment to those that have experienced trauma. Both Christina and Tyson are trauma informed therapists.
Family and Relationships
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Family counseling works to engage the whole system so that the family unit is stronger and heals together. We offer for children, parents, or other family members to see one clinician and the other clinician to meet with the whole family separately in order to maintain a safe and private space for individual members of the system.
