Professional statement

Howdy hey, I’m Tim - LCSW, nature loving poet, INFJ, and recovering people pleaser. Most importantly, I'm a frustrated dreamer who knows how hard it is to build a lifestyle that cares for yourself and gives you confidence in your everyday situations.

I worked all over the mental health system and have seen a gap in what exists between outpatient therapy, and IOP Level of Care. What I call "the right amount of therapy". To go from 15 hours of therapy a week to only 1 (maybe 2 hours) of therapy a week is a huge drop in support that leaves some people struggling, just to return to IOP.

Being the rooted dreamer I am, I set out to build this miracle dream into existence. A clear path to travel so my clients didn’t have to “figure it out” in their lives. In the process of making it for them, I knew I was making a space for you too. I’m hoping you join me.

Here’s what this journey holds: individual therapy gets us to the heart and core of the issue. In the Writing Wisdom groups we set out to bear witness to your hidden desires and needs, and bravely share them with others for the first time. For Soulful Stargazing retreats we take time to admire the wonder you hold and the world that surrounds you.

The path towards your miracle now has a guide who has charted the way. I have the compass and map and want to take you there. Sign up for a consultation so we can talk about what it is you long for, and how this space can get you there.


Message to clients

Returning to work in recovery - now you’re avoiding deadlines like you were your emotions.

What’s underneath it all still hasn’t been dealt with, though you want to. You hold the healing that IOP and Inpatient offered, longing to break the cycle you know too well: Inpatient, IOP, back to the community. You remember the groups, use the TIPP skills, and it helps you ride the tidal wave. You’re split though, there’s part of you ready to tackle it headstrong, and another part of you is sweating it like the iced coffee that waters down at your desk. And you are terrified you can’t keep up anymore.

It is an exhausting cycle too, and you wish you could stop it. You’ve tried to patch work therapy together: but having three therapists just patch work to hold you together. Even meeting with therapist twice a week didn’t seem to fill that hole in healing you’ve been longing for. You are looking for what worked at IOP, but all under the same roof.

Howdy hey, I’m Tim - and I’ve made a therapy program meant to break cycles and continue that wholesome healing you long for. Schedule a consultation so we can walk a different path.

Specialties

Suicidal ideation - I see you suffering in silence. You want to avoid another grippy sock vacation, but also want to have these thoughts out loud so you can help them heal. It's not easy, holding onto this alone. I have found that most of the time, these thoughts just want to help escape the pain or have your needs met. I can offer a space to do that, as long as you come honestly and can keep yourself safe (and I can help with that last part). Take a look at my program, let's walk a new path.

Borderline personality disorder - I can assure you that you are welcome here in this space. I've built a whole person program to do more than just talk: Depth oriented individual work to unburden the wounds, creative exploration (with a sprinkle of skills, because they are still needed), and nature based work to fill up your cup. This program is here to help undo the whole knot, and be a constant space to receive support from. Head to my website, take a look at what I have to offer. It's a space for you if you want it.

Childhood trauma - Learning how traumatic events in childhood can translate into adulthood; processing through difficult memories with the goal of moving past the experience and lingering symptoms

Depression - Providing support and promoting healing of hopelessness, low motivation and energy, sadness, irritability, sleep disturbance, and loss of interest and pleasure in life

Anxiety - Coping with excessive worry, nervousness, or stress; intense discomfort in social settings (social anxiety); sudden and intense feelings of panic (panic disorder)
