Constructed Awareness Institute

Creating change through deeper awareness

Constructed Awareness® (CA) is a psychotherapy model that helps clients understand themselves and connect more deeply with their experience by enhancing awareness of thoughts, sensations, and external perceptions. The Constructed Awareness Institute is dedicated to training and research that enhance therapists’ clinical work and personal growth.

Tyler Orr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC/MHSP), EMDRIA-approved consultant, creator of Constructed Awareness® (CA), and President of the Constructed Awareness Institute. He offers an interactive, here-and-now approach to counseling, consulting, and teaching that integrates mindfulness, nonviolence, nonduality, and process-oriented approaches. His work centers on trauma therapy and the use of awareness to support organic change.

Tyler is a doctoral candidate at the University of the Cumberlands, and his peer-reviewed publications include both research studies and conceptual articles introducing key elements of the CA model. He regularly presents on CA at national counseling conferences. His therapeutic work emphasizes non-interference and the power of awareness to support natural healing processes.
