Deneen Tyler BA MDiv | Trauma Healing Coach and Tarot Diviner – Merging Mental Health and Divination for Generational Trauma Healing
I’m passionate about mental health and trauma healing and have over a decade of “in the field, front line” experience providing crisis stabilization, one on one/ group sessions with (Axis 1 diagnosed) youth and adults that focus on mental health skill building, suicide prevention, and resilience. Unfortunately after years working in the field, I found myself growing discouraged with all of the limitations placed on mental health professionals, specifically the way the western healthcare system omits/excludes spiritual/energy healing within mental health sessions. For years, I tried to effectively work within the boundaries by addressing only the symptoms of the problem (as I was trained to do in my mental health degree program and in various employment settings). I grew weary with how I was always encouraged to focus primarily on a client’s environment, psychosocial imbalances and other non spiritual factors contributing to illness/wellness. I felt like we were only addressing the symptoms of the issue versus the root of the problem (roots ,which if addressed could potentially cure the issues we were treating).
I pursued a Masters in Divination/social work degree to learn how to engage the spirit of a person because I believed that in order to truly heal “from the root” one needed to address spiritual/energy blockages, as well as, the commonly addressed mental, emotional, physical, environmental factors. I decided to drop the social work portion of my degree program and decided against seeking licensure after discovering that I was not genuinely interested or in alignment with becoming a licensed mental health profession. Instead, my path was to focus more on the spiritual/metaphysical aspect of trauma healing.
After graduating my masters degree program in 2013, I immediately started honing my skills as a Spiritual Wellness/Trauma Healing Coach merging my mental health training with my divination training to create sacred space for women to heal from their childhood trauma. Somewhere around 2017/2018 Tarot Divination, Astrology and Numerology came into my awareness and I started devloping divination skills in those divination systems.
In my Tarot sessions, I merge my mental health background with my divination training to support Seekers with identitfying where they’re mentally and emotionally stuck due to past trauma. Every now and then, I facilitate sistar healing circles (but am not currently hosting any in 2025).
