Hoyam Tanon, MA, is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She has worked in several different mental health settings including hospitals, government, and private practice. Her experience working with people from different backgrounds, in a range of settings, deeply informs her practice. Previous experience includes working with children, adolescents, couples, families, and adults through individual and group services in home, correctional, and clinical settings who struggle with depression, relationships, family issues, stress and anxiety management, addiction, Trauma, cross-cultural issues, and career and life transitions. She also has experience providing supervision for master level practicum students and clinical consultation for doctoral students. Her supervision style is based on developmental models which adjusts for and to the level of expertise of the supervisee. She believes that over time, accumulative experiences sculpt intuition. Counselors therefore become more attuned to the client’s inner world and better conceptualize client cases with clinical experience.
