Education Counts!

M.A. Clinical Psychology, John F. Kennedy University
B.A. Psychology, Chapman College

Education which augments my over 20 years experience in helping others work through their painful and difficult life problems or questions is a cornerstone of my philosophy. Thus I continually search for the best and most up-to-date information about interpersonal behavior and mental health to better serve you, my client. As a result, I attend advanced training seminars regularly.

About Taen:

I received a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. I am certified in Washington State as a Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a Chemical Dependency Professional. I am an active member in the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists - my national clinical organization.

Taen's Past Experience:

During my years as a therapist, I have worked in various public service agencies serving individuals, couples and families. My first experience, in 1976, was with Mothers' Emergency Stress Service, a 24-hour support agency which also included a safe house for women victimized by domestic violence. Since that time I have worked with children struggling with behavior and/or learning disabilities, their parents, individuals working through physical or sexual abuse issues, couples desiring to enhance their relationship and/or communicate with each other more

fully, individuals struggling to change their violent behavior patterns, and with individuals and families whose lives are under siege by use of mind altering chemicals.

Private Practice:

I began my private practice in 1991, offering my skills to individuals, couples and families who are looking to effect positive change in their lives.

 

I understand the pace of busy lives, as well as the needs of those who seek therapy on your time schedule. Therefore, I will work with you to provide for your continuing therapeutic growth through regular phone consult, email and/or chat - alone or as an adjunct to in-person sessions when your time or schedule demands that.

Guiding your journeys of discovery with insight and heart.
