Tim Riscen

CADCII


Tim is a behavioral health counselor with over six years of experience specializing in substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. His background spans the full continuum of care, including inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings. He began his career managing a Level 12 state-licensed group home for adolescent males, where he developed a strong foundation in working with high-acuity, at-risk populations and complex behavioral needs.

Tim practices from a trauma-informed, person-centered framework, integrating both clinical training and lived experience to deliver effective, client-centered care. He is skilled in implementing evidence-based interventions, including CBT- and DBT-informed approaches, relapse prevention planning, and crisis intervention, with a focus on improving engagement, stabilization, and long-term outcomes.

He holds a CADAC II certification and is recognized for his professionalism, consistency, and ability to build trust with clients, families, and multidisciplinary teams. Tim brings a grounded, solutions-oriented approach to his work and remains committed to supporting individuals in achieving sustainable recovery and improved quality of life.

Tim’s work is guided by a clear philosophy: people don’t need to be fixed, they need to be understood. He believes meaningful change happens when individuals feel seen, heard, and supported, and that connection is a critical component of recovery. This perspective shapes his approach to care and the way he shows up for those he serves.
