Getting to know Timothy Dreher

Hi there, I'm Timothy! Tim collaborates with his clients in an empathic, compassionate manner. He strongly believes in the capacity for growth, change, and healing inherent in every person. My focus Do you find yourself falling into distress-filled patterns of responding to job, relationship, or other life events? I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, and depression challenges. Together, we develop coping skills and a personalized plan to realize treatment goals. My approach I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help resolve unprocessed memories that contribute to present distress. This is done in a safe and titrated manner that is not retraumatizing. I also use Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy as an adjunct to EMDR and also as a stand-alone therapy when appropriate. My communication style I communicate in a clear, open manner that establishes and maintains a safe, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening with curiosity that invites you to reflect on and explore your experiences with me supporting you. Maintaining a caring, compassionate connection with you helps us get through challenging material that comes up. My journey to mental healthcare My path to becoming a provider began with my own healing journey. My personal therapy journey and spiritual awakening gave me experiences that instilled in me the desire to work in a helping profession. After some searching, it became apparent that psychotherapy was the best fit for me, so here I am. My goals for you Together, we build treatment goals that are meaningful to you and then develop therapy plans that meet those goals. Having a road map helps us stay on track as we move through the issues we have agreed need addressing. The plan adapts as insights are gained and your system digests new information.
