Rebecca Timme, DO, wants to help you build in more moments to breathe. As a Board-Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist based in Petaluma, California, Dr. Timme is focused on meeting your loved ones where they’re at with a psychodynamic approach to psychiatry.

Dr. Timme’s goal is to offer a therapeutic environment where all children and teens – regardless of identity, culture, or lived experience – can feel safe exploring their emotions and building the skills they need to thrive. She approaches each patient and family with cultural humility and respect, recognizing that many factors, including identity, community, and background, shape mental health and resilience.

When kids and teens feel seen and heard in a safe space, they’re able to discuss more about what obstacles are in front of them and how the people in their lives can help. From this place, Dr. Timme helps to create a plan of care centered around helping your youth remove their obstacles and continue on their path in a happier, healthier way. This is what your family will find at Timme & Associates.
