About
Timothy Ayd, LCPC, believes that there is no growth without challenge and has embodied that belief by creating Wise Oak Counseling and Wellness. Timothy has spent the past several years furthering his education in the field of psychology. He received his Master of Science in Clinical and Professional Counseling from Loyola University Maryland, where he received a lifetime achievement award from Loyola’s Department of Recreation and Wellness.
Timothy spent several years gaining experience in providing psychotherapy, most notably by helping Native Americans in Baltimore City and being involved with the Center for Nature-Informed Therapy. Born and raised in Maryland, he has recently moved to Connecticut. His previous outdoor experiences have fueled his passion for his work and have inspired him to open up his own practice. He enjoys bringing his passion for the outdoors into his sessions.
Timothy is an avid Lord of the Rings fan, and his favorite quote from the series in many ways represents his approach to therapy and to life: “So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

Therapy with me
Hi, I am Tim! I offer counseling in Maryland. I specialize in helping those suffering from PTSD/trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and anxiety. I help people who have experienced traumatic events, depression, grief, and the difficulties that follow, such as low motivation, tension, and irritability. Each of these issues, and the body's response to it, looks different for each person. My goal is to process these emotions and find ways for the body to release them. As we work through our emotions, we often find ourselves feeling at ease. My use of Natrue-Informed Therapy and traditional forms of psychotherapy allows me to have a unique and effective approach to therapy. I focus on building genuine connections with my clients where they can feel themselves and create a space where I can challenge my clients to be the best version of themselves. I focus on helping those in the medical community, first responders, and young adults, but I am happy to work with anyone who needs support. Maryland services are virtual only.
