Instructor's bio
Dr. Melissa Tiessen is a registered psychologist in the areas of Clinical and Health Psychology, and Dr. Karen Dyck completed her Master’s Degree in Developmental Psychology and her Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology. They are two mid-career(ish) psychologists who love what they do and also recognize how important it is to take care of themselves in this work. They know that there are many female mental health professionals trying to balance careers with additional caregiving roles - whether young children, aging parents, or anything in between.
