Tim Lambertson, Intern - Masters of Counseling Program - University of North Carolina at Greensboro

Accepting clients

I am excited to be interning with Forsyth Family Counseling, PLLC. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts, earning my Bachelor of Arts in Communication in 2001. Before returning to school and entering the graduate program for a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling at UNC Greensboro, I had a twenty-year professional and entrepreneurial career. I take with me into the counseling profession a deep level of empathy and understanding about the everyday struggles we face and use that experiential knowledge to help guide clients in and out of sessions.

My role as a counselor is to help provide the tools, education, and inspiration necessary for clients to grow and feel empowered to live their lives authentically. Over the last fifteen years, I have been studying and training in mindfulness-based therapeutic techniques. This unique skill set has proven extraordinarily valuable for both myself and my clients, seamlessly weaving into evidence-based practices [EBPs] such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I have been studying and leading skills groups for the last several semesters. In addition to DBT, I rely on well-researched and proven therapies such as Cognitive therapies, Multicultural therapies, and Systems approaches, allowing clients to use their strengths to empower, self-actualize, and heal. I approach all counseling relationships with open-mindedness, patience, and empathy, and I am excited to work with individuals, couples, and families.

I currently reside in Greensboro, where I live with my wife of fifteen years and our giant dog Gus.
