Highlights
Psychologist Joseph Tan, PhD
My name is Joseph Tan. I'm a clinical psychologist in the Department of Family Medicine at UVA Health. I'll offer evidence based treatments for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as brief interventions focused on the overlap between health and mental health. So, things like insomnia or other behavior changes like quitting smoking. For patients coming to see their primary care provider, I will see them same day if there's something emergent, some sort of crisis going on, as well as if they're just interested in a brief strategy to kind of deal with anxiety or depression, something that they can kind of learn same-day without having to make another appointment to see another provider. I think it's really important to me to get to understand the patient first. So I kind of want to know who you are, how you feel about being here today, what the lay of the land of your life looks like, because those things are really important in terms of forming a healing relationship within which we can do the work that we need to kind of help someone make some positive change in their life.
