About Ty Wilson

My road to becoming a therapist…

Some people find their purpose through what they’ve overcome. For me, that’s exactly the case.

At 20 years old, I survived a car accident that led to the amputation of my left leg. What followed wasn’t just physical recovery – it was a complete reimagining of what my life was for. Surrounded by family, faith, and community, I learned to walk again and discovered that my deepest calling was helping others find hope when hope feels out of reach.

That conviction has shaped every step since. After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, I spent four years in college ministry, walking alongside high school and college students through some of the hardest seasons of their lives. I watched young men, in particular, struggle in silence – with identity, with shame, with patterns they couldn’t seem to break on their own. That experience didn’t just inform my clinical focus – it became it.

I am now completing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University and practicing as a Graduate Student Counselor at Whole Life Priorities, under clinical supervision. I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Recovery Coach and am actively pursuing a CSAT (Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist) certification – bringing both personal investment and professional training to a population that is often underserved and underrepresented in therapy.
