About Me

About Me

Dr. Garyn K. Tsuru, Clinical Psychologist.

Life can sometimes be difficult and challenging. Stress from work, problems in our relationships, or unexpected emergencies can take a toll on our health and emotional well-being. I am here to help you through these challenges. Rather than using a “cookie cutter” approach, I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques in order to address the unique and specific needs of my patients, whether it be bringing back some joy into their life or instilling confidence. I also specialize in psychological assessment for a variety of issues and concerns.

You are a unique and special individual, limitless in your capacity to achieve. As such, when you need help tackling life’s unexpected challenges, you should not be “processed” or “forced” through a specific treatment approach or treated like the product of a recipe from some cookbook. I am committed to ensuring you receive quality care, curtailed to your specific needs using techniques tested by science. Rest assured that you will find that help, regardless if I am the provider, or simply an intermediary helping you to find someone who best suits your needs.
