Timothy D. Stein, MFT

Timothy D. Stein, MFT I help individuals create success and happiness in their lives. I help couples create satisfaction and renewed chemistry in their relationships.

I help people interpret their life more realistically, react and deal with situations more effectively, and understand and overcome whatever issues may be getting in the way. And, I help families create understanding and effective cooperation among family members. S*x addiction, p**n addict, and compulsive s*xual behavior, destroys lives, relationships, and our basic sense of ourselves. Hopelessness, despair, and shame combine with an inability to stop or change these compulsive s*xual behaviors. I provide treatment to people who struggle with s*xual addiction in order to help them to free themselves of these behaviors and change their relationship with themselves. I help individuals and families heal from the wounds and pain compulsive s*xual behavior causes. Healing Trauma workshops explore childhood trauma and the emotions that accompany it. You will begin the process of resolving the anguish and grief that arises when childhood trauma experiences are triggered in adult life. The focus is not on blaming caregivers but rather on getting in touch with feelings that follow less-than-nurturing events and resolving the grief and anguish you still carry.
