About me

Hello, I am Tiong Tan and you can also call me Joshua. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working with individuals experiencing chronic mental health symptoms, marital challenges and parenting struggles. I speak Cantonese and Mandarin fluently, travels globally and I am 100% telehealth. I graduated from Diana R. Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University, Texas in 2012 as a Global Mission Leadership Scholar. In 2017, I completed a Master of Arts in Theology at Fuller Seminary. During my time at Fuller Seminary, I took the opportunity to sharpen my clinical competence through Fuller School of Psychology. I am married for 21 years and nurturing 2 sensible teenagers. My training, education, and background has prepared me to assist individuals with complex mental health challenges, relationship issues and parenting struggles.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Firstly, I hope to ensure your safety and provide a safe space for us to determine the complexity of your challenges. I look forward to define your struggles clearly so that we can work on determining clear goals together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a multilingual therapist and a global citizen, I appreciate the resiliency and complexity of international transitions and have the expertise in navigating intergenerational, intercultural, interfaith, and third culture issues. I also provide therapy in Mandarin and Cantonese.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am primarily a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and I would appreciate my clients who are seeking to develop a clear framework of thinking, willing to develop a healthy routine and address underlying maladaptive challenges.

I was assigned this therapist during a really challenging time in my life. Be has been awesome and breaking things down and helping me find solutions and have a better perspective just through his style of therapy. I have learned a lot of exercises to help control my anxiety and I work daily to remind myself of my worth. I really appreciate Dr. Tan style of therapy.
