Hi! I’m Stasia Timan, LMHC, and I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety and related concerns. I have extensive experience supporting clients navigating generalized anxiety, OCD, social anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, and depression. While my primary focus is working with teens and young adults, my clinical background also includes providing therapy to children across a variety of developmental stages, allowing me to adapt my approach to each client's unique needs. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I help clients better understand their thoughts and emotions, develop practical coping strategies, reduce avoidance, and build confidence in managing difficult emotions. My goal is to support clients in creating meaningful, lasting change while fostering resilience.
In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, exploring your background, current challenges, and what brings you to therapy. Together, we’ll collaborate on your goals and discuss what you hope to gain from our work together. We will work at your pace, focusing on what feels most meaningful and important to you.
I utilize creativity and flexibility in my approach to find techniques that resonate with your interests, goals, and needs. Change is a difficult, but a necessary part of life as we are always growing and learning from our experiences. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and developmentally appropriate interventions. These approaches help clients reframe unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping skills, and strengthen emotional regulation.
My ideal client is a person who is motivated to grow and is open to exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Change is hard, but a necessary part of life. They may be experiencing challenges such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, emotional dysregulation, or difficulty navigating life transitions. They are seeking meaningful change in their life and are interested in learning practical coping skills to better manage emotions, stress, and life’s challenges. I work with a wide age range, from children to adults, tailoring my approach to meet each person where they are.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to identify and label unhelpful thinking patterns. By recognizing these patterns, clients can then implement targeted coping strategies to manage difficult emotions. Through this process, we work toward reframing unhelpful thoughts into more constructive and positive ways of thinking. We will work collaboratively to find coping strategies that work best for you.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
At the heart of therapy is the therapeutic relationship, it is where you feel validated, safe, and understood. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives, and therapy is a collaborative process that honors each individual’s inner strengths and wisdom. Person-centered therapy emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the safety of having a private space to openly explore your thoughts and feelings.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I will add aspects of DBT skills in treatment, focusing on distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I have experience utilizing ERP to help clients reduce anxiety and manage OCD symptoms. This step-by-step approach involves gradually facing feared situations or thoughts while learning to build coping skills and resilience, empowering clients to manage anxiety.
Strength-Based
We will focus on your existing abilities and strengths to build empowerment and resilience. We all have unique strengths and areas for growth. Together, we’ll highlight your strengths and build on them as a path toward meaningful change.
