Tim Hartnett, PhD

I am a Marriage & Family Therapist, Author, Musician, Teacher, Facilitator and Event Organizer. Currently, most of my time is spent in my position at Shine a Light Counseling Center. This umbrella website can direct you to the projects of mine that you may be most interested in. In each of these various endeavors I strive to facilitate people in expanding their understanding of themselves and their connection to others.

Shine a Light Counseling Center

I am the executive director of Shine a Light Counseling Center. I supervise and train 70+ interns gaining hours toward their licensure.

Author

I wrote Consensus-Oriented Decision-Making in 2011. This book introduces the CODM model for facilitating group decisions. It allows groups to use a consensus process, while retaining the flexibility to finalize decisions, even if not everyone agrees.

Past Roles:

I curate a public education website on Consensus Decision Making. I have a free one hour training video. 

Counseling Practice

For thirty years I maintained a marriage counseling and individual psychotherapy practice in Santa Cruz, CA.
