Dr. Thomas Tashjian, MA Psychologist 3022

I am a cognitive-behavioral psychologist & have focused my work on helping children, adults & older adults to develop skills to manage emotional, behavioral & health problems. These include problems related to attention, learning, pain, chronic health, insecurity and relationships with others. Because of my background in language & development, I see many of such issues as deriving from “over-thinking” or reflection & self-talk. Such a nature may lead to frustrations with results of current counseling & medication. As a pharmacologist, I also have experience studying effects of physical state & medications for physical illness on mood, behavior & emotions. With such a background, I may help people separate such effects from concerns for their psychological well-being & to identify things they may do to minimize those effects. Finally, I am myself an outdoorsman, exerciser, marathoner who loves dogs, cats & horses and writes parables about them. I have supported each of those & related activities in experiential therapy programs to address the problems above. I have also counseled others in identifying alternatives when life circumstances or injuries leads to the loss of the chance to use those skills you have developed to manage your life.
