About Tim Lewis

Those who are kind might call me a late bloomer, while others would say he's just slow to catch on. My path to becoming a clinical psychologist has undoubtedly been littered with potholes and hard knocks. However, what's served me well throughout it all is an enduring fascination with what makes people tick and a preoccupation with trying to answer the big questions in life.

I’ve now been in practice for over 15 years in settings ranging from a public clinic, a therapy group practice, and a solo practice located near Union Square in San Francisco. Since the pandemic I’ve been practicing fully online. At first I was wary of being able to maintain emotional connections through the screen, but the ensuing years have taught me a lot. Both my clients and me enjoy the convenience of teletherapy which has proven to be a highly effective tool in delivering treatment.

I am a member of Headway. This will only affect you if you will be using insurance. Headway acts as an intermediary in processing claims and setting appointments. Their services have really streamlined therapy services for both myself and my clients. If you decide to book, I’ll fill you in.

Things You Won’t Find on My Resume

I spent too much time as a teenager mowing lawns. I've supported myself as a waiter and a house cleaner. I am a husband and a father who lives in a forest filled with giant redwoods.

Fun Facts

  • I never wanted to be one of those people who go on and on about how their life was transformed by mindfulness meditation, but I am, and it was—Ditto therapy.

  • I happen to be a Pisces, and my happy place is either in or beside the water. That correlation does not, however, translate into a belief in astrology!

  • I do believe in being a life learner and accumulating random bits of knowledge for knowledge's sake.

  • I am fortunate to be in the minority of people who love their work and would still do it even if I didn't get paid.

  • I take my work very seriously, but that doesn't mean treatment can't also be enjoyable. And moving. And life-affirming.
