Founder & Clinical Psychologist
she/her/hers
Welcome—I'm Dr. Taline Andonian, and I'm glad you're here.
​
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly two decades of experience specializing in trauma recovery, complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, and mind-body healing. As the Founder of Resonance Center for Psychotherapy & Healing Arts, I combine evidence-based, trauma-informed methods with creative, culturally sensitive healing practices to support clients on their path toward emotional freedom and authenticity.
​
I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Hartford and have advanced training in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness interventions, and sound healing. I have trained with world-renowned Traumatologist Dr. Janina Fisher in Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) and other evidence-based trauma interventions. I have also trained extensively with the founders of the Hartford Family Institute in Body-Centered Psychotherapy, deepening my ability to integrate somatic awareness, experiential healing, and nervous system regulation into my work.
​
My clinical experience spans diverse settings, including psychiatric hospitals, prisons and jails, court systems, community mental health, and academia. I am also an adjunct professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Central Connecticut State University.
​
The intersection of science and creativity is foundational to my therapeutic philosophy. I use language, sound, music, art, and creative expression to help clients reconnect with emotions, process trauma, and uncover their authentic selves. My lived experience as a first-generation Armenian-American and descendant of Armenian Genocide survivors allows me to bring cultural wisdom, humor, compassion, and resilience into my therapeutic work.
