When a person is struggling, I look at the big picture, not just "problems" or "symptoms." Through a strengths-based perspective, I try to see how the problem areas came to be, formulate a plan to address concerns, and actively teach skills to foster change. Through this lens, I have successfully worked with kids (as young as 5), teens, and young adults to address depression, anxiety, self-harm, OCD, ADHD, and other behavioral and emotional disturbances.

I specialize in working with adults at any stage in life struggling with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who understand the unique challenges and experiences that come from living with ADHD and how it coexists with other mental health symptoms, because therapy should be a place where you feel understood and supported in being yourself and living a life that works for you. Sessions with me are collaborative and strengths based to support your personal goals.

Are you struggling with depression and/or anxiety? Are you feeling burned out? Are you not taking care of yourself? Are your relationships not what you want them to be? Do you dislike your job? Do want more meaning and purpose in life? Do you need to make a career shift or a job change? If your answer to any of these questions is yes, I can help you.

Hello, my name is Timothy Hartman, LCSW. Working with populations in both densely populated urban areas and rural areas as well, I have a unique perspective and experience working with all types of individuals, specifically adults, young adults, and those going through things like depression, anxiety, adhd, substance abuse issues, and trauma utilizing therapy techniques like ACT, CBT, DBT mindfulness, and solution focused therapy models. I enjoy listening and learning about you. I really love seeing people grow and develop deeper insight into why people are doing what they are doing. I love seeing success more than anything.

I work with clients from early childhood to adulthood across various life stages. We partner to address “big feelings” and behaviors, as well as symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm, and low self-esteem. My foundational approach is rooted in person-centered and strengths-based principles. With younger clients, I leverage techniques from play and creative arts therapies, as well as mindfulness tools. For adolescents and adults, I employ an eclectic toolkit with methods from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Design Thinking to guide the therapeutic process.

In helping children, teens, and their families, I employ a combination of compassion, creativity, understanding, and humor with clinically proven treatment methods. During my 15+ years of experience I have found that a good collaborative therapeutic relationship combined with skill-based strategies and techniques results in positive and lasting changes. I typically begin treatment with a thorough assessment and treatment plan. Treatment incorporates both parent and child interventions. I routinely communicate with pediatricians, teachers and school personnel to assist in resolving the issues of children and teens, with parental permission.

I have years of experience working with children, teens and adults in a variety of settings. I integrate several different approaches to each therapeutic connection to meet individual needs. I have experience with clients ranging from eating disorders, anxiety, depression, headaches, relationship conflicts, ADHD and more. I welcome talking about what I provide and develop plans to reduce symptoms.
