About Tim

Tim began his professional career in 1988 working with youth in the Twin Cities (Minnesota), followed by 10 years (1993-2003) in the greater Los Angeles area. During his time in LA, he completed his Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. After graduation, he began his second career as a Marriage & Family Therapist. Tim worked with Tulare County for 12 years, where he provided psychotherapy services to the underserved population of the greater Central Valley, which was very rewarding. In May of 2014, he retired from the agency and began working with a local non-profit, which in turn, led to opening his own practice in June of 2017.

Tim has been married for 36 years to his wife, Lisa. They have 3 adult children and 2 grandchildren.

  • I had never been in a therapist’s office before and really didn't know what to expect. I was dealing with deep, complicated grief and had so much to unpack I had no idea where to begin, but thankfully, I didn’t have to worry about sorting it out on my own. Tim provided the assurance, security, patience, and care that I needed as I began to heal and eventually find hope again.

    Client Testimonial

  • Therapy is not an easy thing to experience or navigate, but Tim always makes sure that I feel comfortable, validated, and heard. Even when I'm not sure where to start or what to discuss, He somehow finds the right guiding questions to facilitate an effective therapy session. I am so grateful for Tim and our sessions!

    Client Testimonial

  • Tim is a trusted colleague and friend. He uniquely combines warmth and acceptance with the insight and ability to guide clients toward healing and change. He is approachable and relatable, skilled at creating a safe and supportive environment for his clients to engage in the work of self discovery and growth.

    Testimonial

  • Tim Hochhalter is an amazing therapist who is both kind and competent. Because I respect him as a colleague, I chose to offer him my therapy business when I was ready to retire. I felt that he would be a good fit for the therapists working there and clients coming to our office. Those who see him professionally find him approachable and able to assist them in their therapeutic journey.
