Deneen Tyler BA MDiv | Trauma Informed Coach and Tarot Diviner – Merging Mental Health and Divination for Generational Trauma Healing
I provide trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware support using reflective tools such as tarot to help clients explore patterns, emotions, and inner narratives in a grounded, present-focused way. My work centers safety, regulation, insight, and personal agency. I do not provide therapy, diagnosis, or trauma processing, and I encourage clients to work alongside licensed mental health professionals when needed.
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 Informed Coach merging my mental health training with my divination training to create sacred space for women to heal from their childhood trauma (specifically their mother wounds). 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, we’re not asking the cards to tell the future (we’re not predicting the future)—we’re using the cards to identify what comes up and to reflect so we can gain clarity on where the Seeker is mentally/emotionally stuck in past trauma.
