Dr. Thomas Tashjian, MA Psychologist 3022

Dr. Thomas Tashjian is a cognitive-behavioral psychologist who helps children, adults, and older adults develop practical skills to manage emotional, behavioral, and health-related problems.

He addresses concerns tied to attention and learning, chronic pain and health conditions, insecurities, and difficulties in relationships. Drawing on a background in language and development, he often frames these challenges in terms of excessive internal reflection - patterns of over-thinking and self-talk that can interfere with therapeutic progress and the benefits of medication.

With experience in pharmacology, he has studied how physical states and medications for medical illnesses can influence mood, behavior, and emotions. That perspective supports his work helping people distinguish medication or health effects from psychological issues and identifying concrete steps to reduce those effects when possible.

Outside of clinical work he has supported experiential therapy programs that incorporate outdoor activities and exercise. An outdoorsman and marathoner who enjoys dogs, cats, and horses, he also writes parables related to those interests and uses such material in therapeutic and experiential settings. He has worked with people to identify alternative ways to apply skills when life changes or injuries limit prior activities.

He holds the credential MA Psychologist 3022 - MA indicating a Master of Arts degree and Psychologist indicating licensure, with license number 3022.
