Hear from Joey

I believe that everyone is capable of deep and lasting change. No matter what you have been through in the past, I trust in your ability to heal. It is my privilege as a psychologist to help my clients move through the things that are keeping them stuck and achieve greater health and fulfillment. I find it deeply gratifying to help my clients to work through past trauma. I am grateful that I get to bear witness to the profound healing that is possible.

I am passionate about empowering men to be involved, loving fathers and partners, and to learn how to show up emotionally for the people in their lives. We live in a culture that discourages men from experiencing or expressing emotions. I have had to do my own work to learn how to integrate my identity as a “guy’s guy” and my belief that it is ok, and in fact courageous, to express emotion. I love helping men learn how to craft an identity that allows room for you to be a full, complex individual, rather than feel trapped in rigid roles and expectations of what a man is supposed to be.

Hear What People are Saying about Dr. Joey Tadie

I love how Dr. Tadie takes the time to really get to know an assessment client as a complex person and explains all the assessment findings in clear, easy to understand language. Instead of throwing a bunch of confusing psych words at you and handing you a huge jargon-filled report, Joey translates all of that stuff into everyday language. He writes in language that makes sense and crafts personalized recommendations just for you.
