DR TIMOTHY HECK, PHD

COUNSELING WITH A TRUSTED PROFESSIONAL

My professional career has been devoted to helping people find their way through the challenges, losses, and crises of life. It seems the practice of psychology has too often focused on what’s wrong, assigning diagnoses to our behaviors, reactions, and even the emotions we experience when trying to deal with these struggles.

Over the three decades of my work as a Marriage and Family Therapist I have always looked much deeper than the symptoms to first understand a person’s inner world. And I do this with sensitivity, patience, and respect for the individual. Though I have treated hundreds of individuals and couples through the years and have multiple degrees in both Theology and Psychology, I always treat the person in front of me as unique and I want to understand the struggle from their perspective.

My practice is informed by reason, empirical science, and Christian faith. By drawing upon all three realms of knowledge I can much better understand the human condition and the world of relationships. To that end I have found the model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, known as Internal Family Systems (IFS) to be most aligned with my view of humanness from historical Christianity. In working with couples, I build on the foundational work of both Dr. John Gottman, Gottman Method, and Dr. Sue Johnson, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). I also offer Forgiveness Therapy (FT), which you can read about here.

If you or someone you know is going through one of those difficult seasons of life and you would like to speak to a caring professional about whether counseling could be of help, I encourage you to call, email, or send me a brief contact message of inquiry. We can plan a time to talk about your situation, answer your questions, and determine the best path going forward.

HOW IS YOUR MARRIAGE?

Do trivial issues turn into serious arguments?
Does conflict seem to come out of nowhere?
When you argue does it escalate to a place of being out of control?
Are you worried your marriage could be at risk of an affair, a separation, or even divorce?
Do the two of you rarely talk, connect, and come together in intimacy?

EMDR THERAPY

(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy)

In the late 80s Dr. Francine Shapiro began her research on the combination of eye movements to effect biological stimulation in the brain with Cognitive Therapy in the treatment of trauma. That research has significantly changed the field of trauma recovery and anxiety-related treatment problems.

FORGIVENESS THERAPY

Have you ever considered the resentment and bitterness you hold inside toward that person who hurt you may be carrying an enormous cost to you?

FORGIVENESS THERAPY

We all have people in our lives who have hurt us and for some, those injuries are severe. Take a moment to bring one of those people to mind. Does it bring up anger or some other intense reaction? Could you ever imagine forgiving that person for what he/she did to you? Most of us cannot even imagine the idea of forgiving such a person. For others, you may think you have forgiven the person, but you still have a strong reaction whenever you think of him. In fact, maybe you find yourself replaying the injury over again in your mind in a disturbing and unwanted way.

It could be a parent, a sibling, a former spouse, a business partner, or even a stranger who wounded you in some way. Research over the past forty years demonstrates that we pay an enormous cost for non-forgiveness. It comes in many ways, including your thinking, your emotions, your relationships, and even your physical health. That same research confirms a powerfully healing effect that accompanies a true process of forgiveness. It begin with a proper understanding of what forgiveness is and what forgiveness is not.

If you struggle with enduring pain from being hurt by someone in your life, there are many effective forms of therapy you can consider. But don't under-estimate the cost of non-forgiveness and the healing power of true forgiveness.

Depression, Anxiety & Life Problems

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.

Relationships

Marriage counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with both couples and is a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.

MY PRACTICE

My clinical practice over the past 34 years has focused heavily on the study and treatment of Mood Disorders, including Adjustment Disorders, Depressive Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, and Anxiety-Related Disorders. Utilizing Object Relations Theory in conjunction with Internal Family Systems Theory, I draw upon both the intrinsic and interpersonal models in my effort to assist clients in achieving a high level of self-awareness and self-leadership, all the while integrating their faith tradition in the most empowering way possible. I hold passionately to the maxim of Michelangelo - “Still, I am learning.” And I find that it is my clients who teach me the most about life, pain, and healing. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor between the client, God, and me...and each one is vital for the desired outcome."
