About me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 40 years’ experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. I have experience treating: marital issues, depression, mood swings, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, LGBTQ+ issues, substance abuse, and addiction problems.
Treatment Philosophy: I promise to meet you where you are at and to provide a safe space for you to be yourself. I want you to know that you will never be judged by me. My ultimate goal is to help you to become the best version of you possible. After all, this life isn’t a dress rehearsal; this is your one and only chance to live your life as you want it to be. Please don’t waste this opportunity. Oh, by the way… did I mention that I spent the last 3 years living as a Nomad exploring our great country in a Van?
I look forward to joining you on your journey of personal growth and enlightenment; I sincerely believe we can all live in peace and joy today.
How may I help you?
Tim McMurphy, MS, LMFT

Tim has been so helpful with helping me develop appropriate coping mechanisms that help me take on everyday life. I feel I am communicating with my family, friends and peers better while being tuned into my own emotions and acknowledging they are valid. Would highly recommend.
