Tyra E. Rowell, Ed.S., NCC, LPC
ISSUES of LIFE, INC. is my way to give back to the community. As life would have it, I was unfairly silenced but found a haven to safely release the bondage and barriers of trauma. I realized that I needed to provide a safe space where people could proudly be who they are, unapologetically, and tackle their own life issues without judgment, ridicule, or shame. I have years of experience as a School Counselor and a Psychotherapist. I am currently enrolled at Liberty University, pursuing a PhD in Psychology. My desire is that every person who walks through the doors of Issues of Life, Inc. will experience hope, growth, and healing.
