What should a new client know about working with you?
My name is Dr. Tim Strait. I believe in fostering an affirming, supportive environment where clients can explore their mental health goals and achieve personal growth.
As a husband, a father, a professor of clinical mental health counseling, and an active clinician, I use authenticity, intuition, experience, and compassion as my primary tools to guide you to the change you want. I harness scientifically supported neuropsychology-based methods for improving mental health and pursuing wellness.
Our working relationship will always start with forming a genuine, trusting foundation based on your lived experiences. My job will be to carefully listen to you and understand you. After that, our work will focus on defining what you think is helpful. I’ll offer suggestions and feedback, but the direction, depth, and pace of therapy will always be up to you.
In addition to assisting clients with general mental health concerns such as anxiety and depression, my specialties include:
• Men’s Mental Health and Wellbeing
• Psycho-gastroenterology
• Psycho-oncology
• Chronic Medical Conditions
• PSTD/First Responder PSTD
• Individuals working through relationship stressors
• Internet Sex Use
• Sex Addiction
• Mental Health Wellness Checkups
I tend to operate best using a multimodal approach focusing on techniques that are action-oriented and which you can put to use almost at once. My approach will always address issues in a way that makes sense to you.
When I am not providing psychotherapy or teaching, my wife and I are faithfully restoring and living in a Taliesin/Frank Lloyd Wright Associates-designed home, we raise Italian honey bees, we operate a very small organic farm on the property, and I have the honor of serving as the elaborately dressed Holiday ornament (AKA The Drum Major) marching in front of a Scottish Pipes and Drums band.
I look forward to getting to know you and working with you to meet your goals.
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.
