Hello, my name is Tim Taft. I am a licensed social worker in Washington State with 3 years of professional work experience. I graduated from the University of Washington in 2018 with a Master of Social Work, and since then have been providing mental health services and therapeutic interventions for adults.
I particularly focus on helping clients with issues related to motivation, self esteem, and confidence, but I have experience with a broad range of personal and interpersonal challenges. I am glad that you are here - you are taking the steps to find some extra joy and light in your life, which is often both challenging and rewarding. For myself, I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
I try and respond promptly to any messages within 24 hours, with the exceptions of weekends, during which time I will try to get back to you promptly the following Monday.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
