Introduce yourself and profession to our readers:
My name is Tyra S. Gardner and I am CEO of Tyra S. Gardner Consulting & At A Moments Notice, LLC. I have a Bachelors Degree in Psychology & Masters Degrees in Education, Clinical Psychology & Counseling Psychology & I am currently completing my PhD in Psychology (2018).

I am a Serial Entrepreneur and Psychotherapist that specializes in Anger Management, Individual & Family Therapy, Relationships, Phobias, Anxiety, Shopping Addiction, Stress Management, Cyberpsychology and Business Therapy.  I am Nationally Certified as an Anger Management Specialist II, & a Basic Life Support Instructor. I am also an Expert Contributor to a number of media outlets including Daily Mail, Today, Women’s Health and AskMen. 

My brand is the "PhDiva &  “NotsoPsychotherapist” because of my different approach to therapy focusing on a reality based approach to current life situations that people experience My motto is "always be prepared for the unexpected, recession proof your life, it all starts with you!"

What inspired you to pursue this area of interest?
I decided to pursue in a career in Therapy and Business Consulting because I always had a love to help people and problem solving. Through my career in Psychology, I am afforded the opportunity to help people on a broader scale with getting life matters manageable.  

​What advice would you share with those interested in a similar pursuit?
Advice I would share is to not be afraid to discover your niche, be open- minded, well rounded and diverse in addition to being welcoming to change. In the field of Psychology and Social/Human Services there are many changes and you must be willing to adapt.
 
Discuss a professional challenge and how you overcame it:
Professional challenges I have experienced is trying to do too many projects at once and having to take a few steps back because of situations arising within the business and making mistakes that would epically halt my business. Through this learning experience, I was able to learn to work at my own pace and not be influenced by others when concerning “MY Business”. 
Now I am moving at my own pace which I feel is the right pace and my business is now headed in the right directions, I’m conducting more seminars, workshops, and speaking at conferences. 
 
What is next for your brand/business in 2017?
Next for my Brand/Business for 2017 is I will be increasing my public speaking engagements, rebranding my product line company Calmè that contains Herbal Teas, Candles, and Calmè Kit (therapeutic relaxation and calming kit which contains products that promote a Calm and Stress Free Lifestyle). I will also introduce PhDiva Sessions, which will be Retreats and Women Seminars, Books and Journals. My Business Therapy/Mentoring will involve more Seminars and Workshops to help business owners with a diverse range of topics such as Working with Difficult Clients and The Art of Business Communication.
