About Dr Engen

I am a clinical psychologist with a background in philosophy, who enjoys helping people untie the mental and emotional knots that have held them back. Much of my work involves properly identifying the problems-in-living with which my clients are struggling and eliciting their latent skills and creative resources to overcome those problems. That is, before one can properly get anywhere therapeutically, one must answer the question, “What makes the ‘problem’ a problem at this time, in this way, for this particular person?”

I collaborate with my clients in finding and building better ways of living, tailored to their unique circumstances. I guide them to unburden themselves of core relational conflicts and relinquish maladaptive ways of thinking and coping (rumination, avoidance, etc). My work is theoretically guided and empirically informed.

I also provide psychological evaluation for adults and children for ADHD, autism, executive functioning problems, emotional and personality disorders, and neurodevelopmental issues. I work with a growing number of creative professionals, people involved in the arts, film, media, entrepreneurial businesses, and education.
