Tim Collins

Meet Tim.

Hi, I'm Tim Collins. I'm not a therapist. I want to be upfront about that — because I think it actually matters for the work I do. I'm a Certified Life Coach, a general contractor, the father of four kids, a husband, and a man who has had to do a lot of his own work to become the person his family needed him to be. I've built things with my hands my whole life. And I've learned that the most important things I've ever had to build weren't structures at all.

I co-facilitate Hold Me Tight workshops alongside Beth for couples who are ready to do real work on their relationship. I will also be co-facilitating the He Thrives men's group at We Thrive Together.

What I Believe About Men

Most men were never taught how to talk about what's actually going on inside them. We were taught to fix things, to provide, to stay steady, to not make it about our feelings. And for a lot of situations — that works fine.

But in the relationships that matter most? That same skill set becomes a wall. The thing that made you reliable at work makes you unreachable at home. The thing that kept you steady under pressure makes the people you love feel like they can't get to you.

I know this because I've lived it.

I'm not here to tell men they need to become someone different. I don't believe that. I believe most men already have what it takes — they've just never been given a space to figure out what to do with it.

Hold Me Tight Workshops

I co-facilitate Hold Me Tight couples workshops with Beth — bringing a grounded, real-world presence to the room that complements her clinical expertise.

A lot of the men who come to Hold Me Tight workshops arrive because their partner asked them to. By the end of the weekend most of them will tell you it was one of the most important things they've ever done for their relationship.

I've watched that shift happen more times than I can count. It never gets old.

Thrive Men’s Group

He Thrives is a structured 10-week men's group that creates space for real conversation — about relationships, about identity, about what it actually means to lead with strength and integrity in the places that matter most.

This isn't a support group where you sit in a circle and talk about your feelings until the hour is up. It's structured, it moves, and it asks something of the men in it. We talk about the hard stuff — but we also laugh. A lot. Because that's how men actually connect when they feel safe enough to.

The men who get the most out of this group are usually the ones who showed up most reluctantly. The ones whose partner suggested it. The ones who sat in the parking lot for five minutes before coming in.

Those men almost always end up being the ones who don't want it to end.

Men's Coaching

In addition to group work I offer individual coaching for men who want focused, one-on-one support. This is not therapy. It is forward-looking, practical, and built around where you want to go — in your relationship, your leadership, your sense of yourself.

Men come to coaching for a lot of different reasons. Some are navigating a major life transition. Some want to show up differently at home and need accountability and structure to get there. Some are doing the group work and want individual support running alongside it.

Coaching sessions are available as a standalone offering or as a complement to He Thrives or the couples workshops. Ask us about current availability and pricing.

Men's Retreats

Some of the most significant shifts I've seen in men happen not in a weekly group but on a retreat — when there is time, space, and the particular honesty that comes from being away from the noise of everyday life.

I co-facilitate men's retreats through We Thrive Together — concentrated experiences designed for men who want to go deeper than a weekly group allows. Brotherhood, real conversation, and the kind of clarity that comes when you finally slow down enough to hear yourself think.

What happens on a retreat tends to come home with you. The men in your life notice it before you can even name it.

A Little About Me

I'm a general contractor. I build and rehabilitate structures for a living — and some of the most meaningful work I've done has been on the ones everybody else had written off. Buildings that looked too far gone to save. Beth and I have resurrected and reconstructed more than a few of those — and I've done the same with myself.

I think about my work with men the same way.

You start with what's actually there. You figure out what's solid and what needs to go. You don't tear down what doesn't need tearing down. And you build something that lasts.

I'm the father of four kids. I know what it means to be pulled in every direction and still try to be present for the people who need you. I know what it costs when you get that wrong — and what it feels like when you start to get it right.

I've done my own work. EFT Externship training. Wild at Heart. Years of men's retreats and leadership development. Not because I had it figured out — but because I didn't, and I wanted to. I show up in groups as a whole person. Not a polished facilitator with a clipboard. Just a man who has done the work and wants to help other men do it too.

Training and Background

• Experience leading men's retreats and group experiences

Who I Work With

I work with men who are:

• Feeling disconnected from their partner and not sure how to close the gap

• Showing up for everyone else and running on empty themselves

• Going through a major transition — career change, fatherhood, loss, retirement

• Ready to be more present at home but not sure what that actually looks like

• Skeptical about groups but open enough to try

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from this work. You just have to be willing to show up.

With decades of experience leading men’s retreats and facilitating spaces for honest conversation, Tim creates environments where men can explore emotional growth, accountability, and connection without shame or posturing. His approach is direct, grounded, and deeply relational.

Tim has completed his externship in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), giving him a strong attachment-based framework for understanding relationship dynamics and the emotional patterns that shape conflict, withdrawal, and repair.

Leadership & Relational Work

As the owner of Integrity Construction, LLC Tim brings the same values he lives by into his coaching and facilitation: consistency, follow-through, humility, and strength with heart. His experience as a business owner, husband, and father gives him a relatable, real-world lens into the pressures men carry and the quiet struggles many navigate alone.

Together, Beth and Tim have walked their own path of blending families, navigating complex parenting dynamics, facing addiction and loss within their extended family system, and doing the deep relational work required to create a connected and resilient home. Their journey informs the couples workshops they facilitate through We Thrive Together, where emotional safety and honest repair are central themes.

A Grounded Presence

Men often describe Tim as steady, authentic, and relatable. He understands both the weight of responsibility and the longing for deeper connection. His heart is to help men lead not just with strength — but with emotional availability, integrity, and resilience.
