About Us
Welcome to Grace Resilience and Integrity Therapy
At Grace Resilience and Integrity Therapy (GRIT), we specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families overcome life’s challenges by integrating faith-based principles, traditional values, and evidence-based psychological practices. Founded by Tyler Hartford, a licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), our practice is dedicated to fostering healing, meaningful connections, and personal growth.
With over 30 years of experience in counseling and mentorship, Tyler Hartford’s unique approach combines natural philosophy, human psychology, and spiritual traditions. This perspective emphasizes the alignment of mind, body, and spirit, empowering clients to build resilience and lead lives rooted in grace, purpose, and integrity.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple but profound:
To help individuals and families rediscover their strength, restore their relationships, and find lasting fulfillment through timeless values and purposeful living. At GRIT, we believe that every person has the potential to grow through adversity, and we’re here to guide you along that transformative path.
What Makes Us Different
GRIT offers a unique therapeutic approach grounded in a conservative philosophical perspective. Unlike many practices that prioritize moral relativism, we center on enduring principles of accountability, integrity, and self-discipline. Our focus lies in helping you reconnect with the elements of life that truly matter—meaningful relationships, a sense of responsibility, and a higher purpose.
We recognize that many therapy options overlook or misunderstand the needs of individuals with traditional values and faith-based lifestyles. At GRIT, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where your beliefs are respected and integrated into your healing and growth process.
Our Services
We offer a range of therapy types tailored to meet your needs:
● Individual Therapy – Build resilience, discover clarity, and live a life of purpose.
● Couples Therapy – Strengthen your relationship through improved communication and shared values.
● Family Therapy – Rebuild harmony and connection with time-honored principles.
● Workshops and Seminars – Learn practical tools for virtuous and purposeful living in a group setting.
Every service we provide aligns with our core belief that growth begins with addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Our Philosophy
At GRIT, we are guided by a strong belief that true healing stems from aligning with traditional structures and roles that promote wellness and fulfillment. We focus on helping clients overcome challenges not just by addressing external circumstances, but by fostering the virtues needed to grow through life’s many complexities.
Themes of freedom, responsibility, and faith underscore every aspect of our practice. By drawing on both evidence-based psychology and timeless spiritual wisdom, we aim to help you realign your life with principles that lead to greater happiness and well-being.
