Tacoma Psychology was established with one simple goal in mind - to set the standard for mental health services in our community. The fact is, some psychological treatments work better than others. The best treatments have been proven to work by years of careful study. At Tacoma Psychology, we stay up to date with current research regarding diagnosis and treatment.
During therapy, we continually measure your progress to ensure that you are achieving your goals. To be effective, even the best treatments must be delivered by clinicians who truly care about you as a person. At Tacoma Psychology we embrace the idea that therapy is, at its heart, a human process. We strive to understand you and your concerns with genuine empathy and respect.
