Timothy McKernan

We often don't know where to begin and, for me, that is a great place to start. I know what it's like to be stuck, unsure of the next step. The anxiety. The fear. This can turn into shame and guilt. Life moves fast and I'm here to meet you where you are today, in this moment. Whether you're experiencing the results of unprocessed pain or even exhausted from the stressors of life, let's explore in a relational, mindful, and compassionate way for you to accomplish your therapeutic goals. I work with individuals and couples from various backgrounds and experiences. I aim to provide a safe space for you to explore your history and patterns to create awareness. It is through this awareness that lasting change can occur. You deserve to have balance in your life. I also work with individuals who may be experiencing, of have experienced, a medical crisis in the form of chronic illness, cancer, or another form of medical trauma, as well as family members and friends affected by the illness of a loved one. Physical health struggles pose unique challenges. Caretaker fatigue is very real. Navigating the healthcare industry can be taxing. Through this, the emotional toll is often neglected. You are more than your physical illness. Our work together will center around honesty and tools, skills, and insights to provide you with lasting and fulfilling change. My trauma-informed and person-centered approach utilizes Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), Somatic, and Attachment Theory. Together we will explore your history, patterns, what works so we can build on those strengths, and what no longer serves you so we can find new ways for you to find balance, relief, and desired change. Please reach out. I offer a free 15-minute consultation and I am accepting new clients throughout California for telehealth sessions. I am looking forward to speaking with you.
