Tim Skipworth

Hi, I'm Tim and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Lutheran University.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my goal is not to blame anyone, but instead to challenge existing patterns. I am collaborative in that the direction of treatment is informed by your definition of health. I enjoy working with couples and individual adults, especially new parents navigating stress. I want to help couples find confidence and security in their relationships, and I want to help new parents find confidence in themselves.

With couples, I have enjoyed using Emotionally Focused Therapy to address attachment needs and heighten each partner’s emotional processing in the present moment. In my work with individuals, I often use Solution-Focused therapy interventions to build hope and make use of clients’ strengths. You are the expert on your life!

Most importantly, my hope for all of my clients is that they feel safe and cared for. This allows people to be honest with themselves and process their true feelings. Clients can expect to have practical discussions about how to handle their concerns as well as big picture discussions to help disrupt longstanding patterns.
