About Timothy
Hello, I’m a licensed psychologist based in West Virginia, and I provide therapy that is respectful, thoughtful, and grounded in both professional training and real-life experience. I earned my M.S. in Counseling Psychology in 1989 and have spent many years working with individuals and couples facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy online and believe that teletherapy can be a highly effective and meaningful way to do this work. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a safe, open space where you can talk honestly about what you’re experiencing-whether that involves daily stress, long-standing emotional patterns, questions about identity or values, or difficulties in relationships. Together, we focus on understanding what’s happening, identifying practical steps forward, and building resilience over time. In addition to my clinical work, my background includes military service, many years in higher education, and long-standing involvement in community and leadership roles. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for people from diverse backgrounds and for the complex pressures that work, family, culture, and personal expectations can place on us. I also understand that for some people, faith, spirituality, or past religious experiences-positive or painful-are part of their story. I am comfortable working with these issues in a way that respects your beliefs and values, without assumptions or pressure. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re unsure where to begin. My role is to walk alongside you, help you make sense of what you’re facing, and support you as you move toward changes that feel meaningful and sustainable for you. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, experienced therapist who values both emotional depth and practical progress, I’d be glad to work with you. Read more Show less
