Dr. Thomas Tashjian, MA Psychologist 3022

Dr. Thomas Tashjian helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, attention problems, addictions, trauma, and other life changes. He is a psychologist with an MA Psychologist credential and 33 years of experience. He writes plainly and focuses on practical ways to cope with everyday struggles.

He notices how over-thinking and self-talk can worsen symptoms. He uses that observation to teach simpler ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings. He also brings experience in pharmacology and can talk through how medications or physical health issues might affect mood and behavior.

Outside the office he spends time outdoors and runs marathons. He has used exercise, working with animals, and outdoor activities in experiential programs aimed at improving mood and coping skills. These interests shape the kinds of behavioral changes he often suggests.

In sessions he aims to help people separate physical influences on mood from psychological patterns. That can make it easier to decide what to try next, whether that means behavior change, talking strategies, or coordinating with medical providers. He also helps people find new activities when injury or life changes limit previous options.

Dr. Tashjian draws on several practical therapy methods and focuses on skill-building. He explains ideas in clear language and helps people practice new approaches between meetings. This profile highlights his background and what a typical approach looks like for someone seeking help with complex, ongoing concerns.

Approaches to skill building and online therapy

Dr. Tashjian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing changes in behavior to improve mood and functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and increase calm in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the person’s needs, goals, and preferences and recommend practical techniques to try. That collaborative process helps tailor homework and strategies to what fits someone’s routine and concerns.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills learned in session within their usual environments. Therapists can guide how to practice techniques between meetings so skills carry over into everyday life.
