Tym Jackson received his Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy at Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He is a 14-year Veteran of the US Army (SSG/E6) and his Tyme there as a Chaplain Assistant serves as his inspiration to continue caring for the caregiver and serving those who serve. Tym enjoys an integrative approach to his therapy-staying client-focused he adjusts his therapy to best represent what the client needs in that moment. 

From his firm grasp of Cognitive Behavior (CBT) and Experiential approaches to his enjoyment of Collaborative Language Systems and mindfulness, he integrates them seamlessly to better serve you. He has been a fantasy geek since childhood following the literature greats of J.R.R. Tolkein (The Lord of the Rings) and Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time). 

In the late 90’s he immersed himself in the original Cyberpunk TTRPG and now is an avid player and DM of Dungeons & Dragons. During his practicum, Tym helped to DM and expand EMERGE Family Therapy and Training Clinic’s first ever Dungeons & Dragons Therapeutic Gaming Group called D&D Emerges. It was the first student designed, run, and moderated group that garnered community attention with many people calling looking for spots! 

Through this experience Tym discovered Leyline Geek Therapy Education and has received his certificate in Geek Culture Competency. He is planning on receiving his full Geek Therapy Certification as well as becoming a certified Therapy Game Master. His practice has been designed with Geek Culture as an integral core of the practice with a focus on using TTRPG’s, cosplay, and other aspects of geek culture with their client’s quest for better mental health! So whether you live the Veteran grunt style or cosplay your favorite LGBTQ+ character, we can come together and move into a mindful space of healing.
