Timika is a therapist committed to treating individuals and families.
Timika’s clinical interests include working with youth and their families of all ages with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Her professional interests include treating children with emotional or behavioral issues, adults struggling with life transitions, co-parenting, family of origin dysfunction, couples’ issues, self-compassion, trauma, and anxiety.
Timika believes that the therapeutic relationship is one of the biggest indicators of change, which is why she strives to create a safe, warm space in which clients can feel seen and heard. She places importance on understanding a client’s context and meeting them where they are in the therapeutic process. Once a relationship is established, she compassionately challenges and collaboratively works with clients to recognize and identify the constraints that might be hindering their goals. She works from an integrative, strength-based approach and empowers clients to reconstruct or create new narratives that bring about understanding, healing, meaning and a stronger sense of self. Timika hopes to help clients realize that they are not defined by their struggles, but rather are human beings first and foremost.
Timika received her bachelor’s degree at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. She received her master’s degree in psychology with a concentration on Applied Behavior Analysis at the University of Purdue Global. Prior to joining Little City, Timika worked as a Direct Service Professional for adults with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. She worked as a Medical Case Manager and Mental Health Specialist for a non-profit organization. Timika has extensive experience working with clients who has posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and mood disorder.
