Clinical & Sports Psychologist
Dr. Tyler Miles
I’m a licensed psychologist and former cheerleader who’s passionate about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. With curiosity and compassion, I help clients explore how trauma, identity, and relationships shape their lives and performance.
I provide therapy and sports psychology services in Washington, DC, both in-person and online. I’m also licensed to offer virtual therapy to clients in North Carolina and Virginia. Whether you’re searching for a sport psychologist in DC, online counseling in Virginia, or therapy in North Carolina, I can support you wherever you are located.
I am dedicated to meeting you where you are, striving to foster a supportive and trauma-informed environment for you to explore your experiences and identities. Social justice and authenticity are central to my practice as a clinician and human being. I aim to bring a perspective of curiosity and cultural humility to my work, recognizing that meaningful change is deeply relational. I hope to foster the safety and security necessary for you to grow, heal, and thrive by addressing individual and systemic factors—particularly the impact of trauma and identity within relationships. I am committed to a social justice framework, supporting not only individual well-being but also actively challenging the broader systems of oppression that impact you.
