Hear from Joey

I belive that everyone is capable of deep and lasting change. It is my privledge as a psychologist to help my clients move through the things that are keeping them stuck and achieve greater health and fulfillment. 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 expecations 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.

Joey is an incredible member of our team. His enthusiasm for his work and for life in general is contagious. He is passionate, positive, thoughtful, and full of energy. Over the years I’ve learned that beneath his upbeat exterior, Joey is a deep thinker and has a depth of knowledge about mental health that is incredibly helpful to his colleagues and his clients.
