Timothy Owens

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I work with individuals and couples. I received my Master’s in Social Work degree from the IU School of Social Work, with internships at two hospitals doing group therapy in partial hospitalization programs. Most of my professional life has been spent doing agency work using Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. I also have years of experience in crisis counseling and planning with families in an agency setting. My expertise covers: impulse control issues/anger management, mood disorders, adjustment disorder, anxiety disorders, relationship issues, family issues, LGBT+ issues, and men’s issues.

My approach considers you the expert; your experience, thoughts, feelings and behaviors as source-material for change. I focus on working with you to create strategies, new behaviors and new ways of thinking. I will point out or inquire about your strengths along the way as input for these interventions. I am calmly energetic in our sessions and will use humor as a tool. It is extremely important to me that you feel safe, secure and free to be yourself and share in our sessions. My goal in our work together is for you to part with measurable improvement.

In our first session we will discuss the presenting issue in full, including historical and current impact on your life and those you love. By the end we will have formulated a working ultimate goal for therapy, with some immediate techniques to try to help us better understand a formal plan of action at the following session.
