Let’s Collaborate!

I believe that families will benefit most from coordinated and collaborative care.

Testimonials from Professional Partner’s

I’ve had the privilege of partnering with Tim Burke in my work as a licensed therapist and as a co-facilitator through experiential family support, and I consistently see the care, enthusiasm, and advocacy he brings to families. Tim has the ability to help parents not only see who their children are, but also how to bring out the strengths through their parent leadership. In his family work, he is able to use initiatives and adventure to highlight family strengths and strategies to move through the challenges that are present for each family. Tim supports parents in finding parenting approaches that are not only aligned with their child’s unique needs, but also feel creative, sustainable, and confidence-building for the parent.

One of Tim’s greatest strengths is helping parents move out of confusion or overwhelm and into clear, empowered systems that actually work in real life. He bridges insight with practical strategies in a way that feels supportive rather than prescriptive. In addition, Tim is an incredibly effective advocate within school systems. He collaborates thoughtfully with school teams to ensure a child’s needs are understood, respected, and met, helping parents feel supported and less alone in those conversations.

Tim’s work brings clarity, confidence, and alignment to families, and I highly value the partnership we’ve built together.”

“I’ve trusted Tim in contexts most people never experience together—thousand-foot rock climbs, avalanche terrain backcountry missions, professional collaboration at our counseling center, and personal guidance through life’s hardest moments. That breadth of trust speaks to who he is: deeply capable, wholly committed, and profoundly effective. Over four years as part of a clinical team, I witnessed his parent coaching work firsthand: guided by core principles that are simple yet profoundly transformative, delivered with specific strategies, scripts, and approaches for navigating the beautiful, messy, organized chaos of family life. This isn’t conceptual theory—it’s “in the trenches” support from someone with a wealth of real-world experience.

I’ve watched him work with youth ages 10-25 and their parents through crisis, vulnerability, and breakthrough. Families who had cycled through multiple rounds of treatment across the entire spectrum of care—and found no lasting help—consistently attributed their healing to Tim. He became the fulcrum point for love, connection, and the parent leadership that guided their transformation. His expertise spans therapeutic climbing facilitation, experiential initiatives, American Mountain Guide Instructor and Avalanche Rescue certifications, Wilderness First Responder, clinical supervision of master’s-level therapists, and seamless collaboration with schools, IEP/504 teams, psychiatrists, and pediatricians. If you’re considering Tim for parent coaching or family-level support, you’re already fortunate to have found him. I can wholeheartedly affirm: he will be the right choice.”
