Tim Ives

At Tim Ives D. Min., L.P., we are dedicated to providing a better kind of therapy for individuals, couples, and families. Our practice is based in Bedford Hills, NY, and we are proud to serve the surrounding communities of Katonah, Mount Kisco, and Chappaqua.

As a psychoanalytic therapist, our primary goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. We believe that while we cannot change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By examining both conscious and unconscious childhood memories, associations, and beliefs about yourself, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

We specialize in a variety of services, including individual counseling, parenting counseling, couples therapy, stress management, family therapy, and sports psychology. We are committed to providing a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable discussing any concerns or challenges you may be facing.

Our Approach

At Tim Ives D. Min., L.P., we do not believe in therapy that labels you as sick and then tries to provide a cure. Instead, we believe that anything that you are experiencing can be helped and transformed in a therapeutic relationship. We do not view depression as a sickness that requires medication, but rather as a stepping stone to a new sense of self and life.

Our therapeutic approach is interactive, solution-focused, and tailored to each client's unique needs. We integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach that helps clients effectively address personal life challenges. With compassion and understanding, we work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
