Dr. Linda Timme’s Practice “Fortunate are those who take the first steps.” - Paulo Coelho. "Embrace life’s journeys, healing, and wellness. True transformation begins when you take steps to become the best version of yourself and recognize your worth. Fortunate are those who take the first steps towards their growth and healing, for they set the path to a more fulfilling and balanced life" - Dr. Linda Timme! ________________________________________ TWO FOUNDERS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY At the heart of Renew Psychotherapy Center, LLC, are Dr. Linda Timme and David Paul Timme, PA-C, two seasoned professionals with a shared passion for mental health and wellness. Together, they bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and compassion to their practice, fostering a healing environment for individuals, couples, and families. Dr. Linda Timme, DSW, MSW, LCSW, LCSW-C With a profound commitment to holistic wellness, I blend my roles as a philosopher, researcher, writer, activist, and educator to create a broad and impactful platform for effecting change and sharing knowledge. I am committed to globally fostering compassion, unity, hope, love, peace, and a lifelong mission for trauma healing. As a passionate and dedicated bilingual and bicultural Licensed Clinical Certified Social Worker (LCSW, LCSW-C) in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. I provide psychotherapy services to individuals, children, couples, and families. I am deeply passionate about scholarly inquiry, teaching, and leadership activities. I integrate traditional and holistic practices into my therapeutic approach to ensure that clients receive the highest quality of care. I hold extensive specializations and credentials, such as treating PTSD/trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, somatic disorders, addictions, psychological reactions to illness and injury, adjustment disorders, special populations, and other mental health conditions. I also hold a certification for Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS). I hold a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree from Millersville University with a focus on advanced preparation for Leadership and Education. Through my comprehensive and rigorous education, I aim to empower professionals to take on advanced leadership and educational roles. I can support the advancement of professionals committed to making a positive impact: By integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application, ethical leadership, innovative educational approaches, rigorous research, policy advocacy, and clinical practice, I strive to promote holistic well-being and social justice. I also earned a Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Temple University, where I honed my skills in Clinical Social Work Practice and Macro Social Work Practice, with further specializations in Children and Families, Health/Mental Health, and an Individualized Option. I also possess a Certified Human Services Management Certificate. This education helps me to form partnerships with several human service and social change organizations to provide training opportunities and educational retreats. My private practice caters to English and Spanish clients. My multicultural and multilingual capabilities reflect my commitment to understanding and respecting diverse backgrounds. I have obtained a Psychology license from Peru and embrace eco-therapy and life coaching in my practice. Drawing inspiration from diverse cultures is a key aspect of my practice, having traveled extensively and gained clinical experience across four continents. My therapeutic approach integrates somatic release, bodywork, intuitive healing, sound healing, meditation, and breathwork to facilitate profound calmness and rejuvenation. My extensive work in various settings, including outpatient community centers, mental health agencies, hospitals, and substance abuse treatment facilities, ensures that clients receive culturally sensitive care, making them feel understood and respected. Free Time and Hobbies In my free time, I love engaging in activities that allow me to connect with nature and find a balance between body and mind. One of my passions is surfing and other water activities. These not only challenge me physically but also offer moments of peace, meditation, and reflection in the ocean. The joy and freedom of surfing and other water activities are truly inspiring and adventurous. The feeling of being in the water is an experience that renews and energizes me. Surfing is especially about being in the moment. Letting go of any distractions or worries. Another of my cherished activities is horseback riding. The bond I share with a horse transcends the sport; it's a relationship built on trust and mutual respect. Spending time in nature with a horse evokes a sense of tranquility and peace that is truly indescribable. It's a feeling that calms and brings serenity to my soul. Yoga, energy and sound healing, and meditation are also part of my routine, serving as anchors that keep me centered and balanced in my daily life. These moments of introspection and calm are not just a luxury, but a necessity for my emotional well-being. They equip me with a clear and focused mind to tackle my professional responsibilities. These activities are a source of inspiration and motivation. They are a constant reminder of the importance of self-care and the need to make time for the things that truly matter in life, prioritizing my well-being and emotional health.
