Timothy Aycock
PhD, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Aycock views life as most invigorating when we fully discover and use our unique giftedness. Whether we are children, adolescents or adults, we become most alive when we remove or minimize barriers that mask our talents. Anxiety, depression, explosiveness and disorganization can cloud our perspective. Troublesome memories may also surface and impede our journey. Dr. Aycock enjoys facilitating the growth of individuals and families and watching them soar.
Areas of Specialization
Cognitive-behavioral therapy to manage the behavior of children and adolescents (ADHD, oppositional behavior, strong-willed children)
Brain-based approaches to diminish the effects of traumatic experiences for children and adults
