Tim Murphy

Tim started his career as a Child and Family therapist in California but has spent the last 30 years in Oregon where he has worked in both the child and adult worlds as a therapist, a Hospital Administrator, and founder and CEO of a Behavioral Health Care company Bridgeway Recovery Services. Tim has built new programs, turned around struggling programs, and infused programs with quality and trauma-informed care. In 2005 Tim, along with Maggie-Bennington-Davis, co-wrote a book on Eliminating the Use of Seclusion and Restraint in psychiatric hospitals which led to a world consulting tour landing him in Hawaii as the CEO of Maui Youth and Family Services. In 2008 Tim returned to Oregon to develop Bridgeway into a very successful community service organization providing Mental Health and Chemical Dependency treatment. For the last ten years, Bridgeway has been recognized by the Oregon Business Journal as one of the Best Non-Profits to work for in the state of Oregon.
