NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Michelle Tangeman
i'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (mfc85890) and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Before opening the private practice in 2018, I served as a Clinical Manager for an agency where I oversaw a clinical team of program supervisors and behavior technicians that provided children's behavioral treatment programs and parent training. I have extensive experience in individualized behavior intervention, Functional Behavior Assessments, school-based services, family-focused intervention, early start services, and social skills training. I have provided these services to a diverse population of families across both Ventura and Los Angeles counties. In addition to my work with children, I provides psychotherapy and treatment for Prenatal and Postpartum Depression and Anxiety.
After working together parents often see:
• Fewer meltdowns and power struggles
• Children who can manage anxiety better
• Parents who feel confident responding to behavior
• Improved relationships between parents and children
• Clear plans for supporting neurodivergent kids
