FIND A THERAPIST
someone who knows
Way too often issues in our community go unnoticed. This happens when we see a lack of awareness and education about the culture, community, and lived experience of a specific group of people. This happens when issues in our community are misinterpreted or misunderstood. As a result, BWCI is finding a way to create user-friendly resources that are more culturally competent and align with the needs of our community.

Tyrone J. Caver, LCSW
THERAPIST
Tyrone is a New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He completed his Masters in Social Work at Hunter College. He received post-graduate training in EDMR therapy and also family and couples therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Tyrone experienced and witnessed those in his community struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. It was through these experiences that he gained the passion to better understand the ways in which individuals, couples, and families can effectively cope with and heal from difficult circumstances. Tyrone worked as a mental health professional in New York for the past 10 years.
As a Black cis-male therapist, Tyrone holds the belief that various intersectional identities strongly influence how we show up in the world and how we experience the people around us. This approach paired with his training allows him to stay attuned to how issues of social justice, oppression, power, and privilege influence the problems that adults, families, and couples face.
