What should a new client know about working with you?
My name is Tim and I have been involved in mental health for over 45 years and hold licenses in Missouri, Illinois and New Jersey. My background includes working with families and adolescents in Juvenile and Family Court System, adolescents in residential facilities, youth in foster care and working with families toward reunification. Further experience includes therapy for incarcerated males in Missouri and Illinois. I have worked with addictions and re-entry programs for individuals coming out of prison working to reintegrate back into society.
I have worked extensively with couples, marriage and family and divorce counseling. I have worked with Veterans and helping with PTSD, Depression and relational issues that arise from their emotions and feelings about themselves. My background has focused a lot on trauma resolution and being able to move forward with their lives. I embrace Cognitive Behavioral Therapy using the underlying quote from Albert Einstein; “You cannot resolve problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” That is what cognitive restructuring is all about – “revising the way I think and process struggles.” I equate a lot of client struggles to a hamster wheel; we go round and round and believe that if we go faster – we can resolve it. I enjoy working with people to help them realize that they hold the resolve to their issues and helping them restructure the way they see themselves with relation to those issues.
When not working I like to do wood working, carpentry, house remodeling, boating and golf. I appreciate the fact that I am not really good at any of it – but I certainly enjoy all of it. I look forward to the opportunity for us to work together to see what we can do to help resolve struggles with a different level of thinking and get off the hamster wheel.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
