Areas of Focus

Tim Wood

CCC, MCP, MDiv

Approach

As someone who has experienced the rich, and at times surprising, benefits of therapy in my own life, it is my joy to walk with others as they seek growth, healing, and positive change. I do my best to create a safe space for deep reflection and the processing of emotions associated with formative experiences. You can expect me to be authentic, gentle, and respectful. I will seek to accentuate your values, strengths, and wisdom to facilitate our work together. I have been told that I have a gift for asking good questions and I hope this is your experience. Finally, I am an ordinary person who enjoys connecting with others and tries not to take himself too seriously.
I have particular interests in the areas of relationship dynamics, personal growth, life transitions, anxiety, grief, and spiritual/faith concerns. I am also a certified enneagram instructor, so if this personality tool interests you, we can make use of it in our work together.
Personally, I enjoy long-distance running, wood working, and painting with oils (when I have time!). I previously worked as a campus minister for more than a decade, and this offered the invaluable experience of working closely with individuals from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds.
Please contact me if you have any questions about me or my approach!
