I am quite dedicated to my clientele to provide the highest quality of care each individual deserves to have. Please not, I only provide email exchange and instant chat email sessions.

My counseling work focuses on helping you find relief from mental health and situational challenges while developing solutions that are uniquely yours. Often this involves exploring and changing patterns of thought and behavior that have become problematic. It is very common to respond to situations in an automatic way, having developed deep beliefs about ourselves, our worth and potential. These beliefs impact the way in which we face challenges and interact with each other. Using a blend of evidence based modalities, my approach is collaborative as we develop new perspectives that foster growth and change. Having worked in community mental health, crisis and in international and military settings, I have experience helping clients manage various forms of anxiety, depression, stress, substance dependence, relationship issues, life transitions and challenges relating to cultural adjustment. Our work together is directed toward achieving outcomes that reflect your own personal needs and values. I believe that effective therapy embraces various approaches and that each person is a resilient and active participant in the shaping of their own life.

Wendy Fydenkevez
Hi. I have quite an extensive work history in the social service field all leading to my present and most rewarding position as an Independent Clinical Social Worker/Therapist. All my years of being in this field has given me the opportunity to work with a very diverse population, including the LGBTQIA community. I particularly enjoy working with people who struggle with interpersonal conflict whether it is with self, a friend, spouse/partner, professionals, parents, children, teachers/professor’s, etc., which all can be very difficult to maneuver through at times. These conflicts can cause immense anxiety, depression, confusion, sometimes leading to substance use and other issues/behaviors that you may want to address. My treatment approach is varied and includes a humanistic one of acceptance allowing for a building of trust and collaboration between us as well as evidence based practices of cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-dynamic therapy, and motivational interviewing. "While there's life, there's hope" I look forward to hearing from you!

Dr. Thomas Tashjian
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. You can see more of my background & some of those stories in : https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-tashjian-a96517107/
