Timothy Kanaan is a licensed professional counselor (MA, LPC) who believes that therapy is akin to physical training for the mind. He understands that individuals don't walk into the gym for the first time and expect to bench press 300 pounds or run a 20K marathon without prior experience. Reaching personal goals requires practice, motivation, and the courage to embrace new challenges. Timothy is committed to walking alongside his clients, providing encouragement, building confidence, showing compassion, and offering unwavering support to enhance their ability to succeed. He recognizes that seeking help can be a daunting step, as anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges can leave people feeling overwhelmed and stuck, often resulting in feelings of failure, hopelessness, and diminished self-worth. It takes bravery to acknowledge the need for support, and by choosing to reach out, clients take a significant step toward taking responsibility for their well-being. Timothy offers a safe and nurturing environment for individuals to process their thoughts, explore themselves, identify their strengths, and develop coping strategies to better navigate life's difficulties. He looks forward to collaborating with clients on their journey toward achieving their goals.
