I’m Timothy Bechtel, AM, LICSW, a Minnesota-licensed clinical social worker with more than 20 years of experience as a therapist.

Over the years, l’ve come to understand many of the common issues that get in the way of growth, connection, and emotional freedom. I help clients identify what is keeping them stuck, understand the early experiences and relational patterns that shaped those struggles, and help clients create lasting change.

My clinical work is especially focused on couples therapy using the RLT model, as well as helping clients heal from trauma using EMDR and other trauma informed interventions.

My practice focuses on adults, both individual and couples, I have specialized training and experience in psychological trauma and with the LGBTQ+ community and I provide a safe and affirming, sex positive therapeutic environment.

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago and provide in-person and online therapy for clients in Minnesota.
