Dr. Thomas Tashjian, MA Psychologist 3022

Dr. Thomas Tashjian is a cognitive-behavioral psychologist who helps children, adults, and older adults build practical skills to manage emotional, behavioral, and health-related challenges. With deep experience addressing attention and learning concerns, chronic pain and illness, mood and anxiety issues, relationship difficulties, and struggles with insecurity, he emphasizes clear strategies that reduce unhelpful over-thinking and improve daily functioning.

Because of his background in language and development, Dr. Tashjian often frames problems in terms of reflection and self-talk, helping clients separate rumination from actionable steps. He also brings experience as a pharmacologist, studying how physical states and medications influence mood, behavior, and emotions, and he helps clients and families consider how biological and psychological factors interact.

Dr. Tashjian has supported experiential programs that integrate outdoor activity, exercise, and animal-assisted elements to reinforce therapeutic gains, and he works with people to identify alternative ways to use skills when injuries or life changes limit previous routines. He combines clinical training with a practical, skills-focused approach and holds the credential MA Psychologist 3022 - MA indicating a Master of Arts and Psychologist with license number 3022.

Outside of clinical work he is an outdoorsman, marathoner, and animal lover who writes parables about dogs, cats, and horses and draws on those experiences in therapeutic settings.
