Dr. Timothy Norris LPC

In the first sessions, expect to have jokes that might misfire and to have to explain more than I’ll need to explain later. For example, if lettuce makes you really sad, as a therapist I might not instantly understand why. But once you tell your story to me, I’ll be more sympathetic and will understand the next time I bring it up. I might even be able to help you figure out the deeper meaning behind the sadness of lettuce. But I’ll have to know your story—the dots that connect lettuce and sadness for you—first.
