Hope, Healing, and Practical Guidance for Life’s Most Challenging Seasons
Life can become overwhelming when unexpected hardships, relationship struggles, grief, anxiety, or major transitions leave us feeling uncertain about the future. During times of crisis, many people feel pressure to have all the answers, make the right decisions, and remain strong for everyone around them. Carrying that weight alone can be exhausting.
My passion is helping individuals, couples, and families find hope, healing, and renewed purpose during life's most challenging moments. I believe effective therapy starts with compassion, acceptance, and understanding. My approach is nonjudgmental and client-focused, meeting you where you are while providing a safe, supportive foundation for growth and healing.
Drawing from over twenty-five years of clinical experience, I combine evidence-based therapeutic methods with Christian principles for those seeking a faith-informed approach to counseling. While each person's journey is unique, I strongly believe that meaningful change is attainable for anyone willing to take the first step toward healing.
Whether you are facing personal challenges, relationship difficulties, emotional distress, or spiritual struggles, my goal is to help you move from feeling stuck by problems to discovering new possibilities for growth, resilience, and lasting transformation.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear From Others
Dr. Tim Lloyd is a very insightful counselor. He brings a level of integrity and experience to his practice and has true compassion for those he cares for and counsels. I’ve grown to trust Dr. Lloyd as a friend and peer in coaching.
Dr. Timothy Lloyd has served us well as a steadying advisor, trainer and coach. As Owner/Administrator of a long term care facility, my executive and support staff, and our patients, alike, endorse Dr. Tim wholeheartedly.
I'm writing this letter of recommendation for ABA Health under the leadership of Dr. Tim Lloyd. We were fortunate enough to meet Tim recently through networking. His follow-up was swift and his understanding of the many issues that are part of ASD is outstanding. His approach is holistic, multidisciplinary and he considers the impact for the whole family. He has been a strong advocate for the needs of our child and has worked tirelessly on the insurance side to uncover every avenue for potential service provision. His staff are courteous, responsive and well trained.
A recommendation I gleaned from one of Temple Gradin's lectures years ago that I continue to hold close is to "surround your child with only the very best people, skilled in what they do, as they will make a difference". We feel very blessed to have ABA Health on our side helping to configure the next steps to maximum independence for our son as he progresses toward adulthood. Their concern is genuine and the interventions are meaningful. We are very optimistic about the continued impact under Dr. Lloyd's guidance and grateful for his expertise. I highly recommend his service for others seeking effective and purposeful ABA intervention.
It's my honor and pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for Dr. Tim Lloyd and his staff at ABA Health. From the initial conversation I had with Dr. Lloyd I felt a sense of relief that we had finally found the person who can help us to be the best cohesive family possible. It has been a struggle for years to find the right provider and services for my daughter, Maggie and we have found that with ABA Health.
Dr. Lloyd and his hard working staff have changed our lives in the few short weeks we've known them. My daughter gets excited when we tell her that the therapist is coming to the house. The staff are kind, caring, compassionate, and most of all are great at what they do. They not only provide therapy to our daughter but they equip us with tools and strategies to implement when they are not there. Working with Dr. Lloyd and his staff has been an extremely amazing experience for our family. I hope you choose to add Dr. Lloyd and his staff to your provider list. His team would be an asset to the CARD Center.
