Tim Tuttle, LICDC, Troy
Hello. I have helped many through individual counseling and groups, struggling not only with addictions, but also PTSD, grief, depression and anxiety. I am educated and trained in evidence-based treatments and uniquely equipped in the area of addiction. Being in recovery myself I have experienced the process of change and can personally empathize with the difficulty of the struggle. Also, I value above all the relationship component to healing. Many of us have been broken in relationships, and we ultimately find healing in them as well. Healing does not only happen in relationships with other healthy people but can also arise from a relationship with a higher power. Grounded in the spiritual and existential approach of the 12-step process, I can assist the willing client with this exploration on your own terms. Spirituality cannot only empower us beyond that of self and science but can give us new purpose and meaning in life. Faith based counseling is available by request. No specific spiritual beliefs are ever imposed on anyone.
I am currently licensed by the State of Ohio as an Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor, and I have a master’s degree in Clinical Addiction Counseling from Indiana Wesleyan University. Over the past several years I served as a Ministry Leader of a 12-step recovery program and as a Spiritual Director in a local church. I also have many years working in the field of social services and mental health as a treatment foster parent and emotionally disturbed classroom assistant.
I look forward to meeting with you and supporting you on your wellness journey.
