Tammy Ahn Hock, Ed.D., LPC, CAADC
 
I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in social behavior from Penn State University in 2001, a Master of Science degree in counseling and human relations from Villanova University in 2006, and a Doctor of Counselor Education and Supervision degree from Shippensburg University in 2025. Over the past 20 years, I have gained experience by working with clients individually and facilitating therapy and educational groups in various settings. I obtained a state (PA) professional counseling license in 2013 and a state (PA) Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor certification in 2014. In 2021, I earned level I and II clinical trauma certifications, and in 2022, I earned a graduate certification in Applied Mindfulness from West Chester University. 

I currently divide my professional time between teaching graduate courses and providing clinical mental health counseling. Personally, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, hiking, and traveling. I also have two mischievous cats, Wally and Whibley.

My experience as a counselor has taught me the importance of perspective, self-compassion, balance, and strong support. My experience as a runner has taught me the value of embracing challenges and recognizing them as growth opportunities. When it comes to counseling and running, one pace does not fit all. Moving forward is progress. During the final miles of my first marathon in 2013, I struggled greatly. I was tired, sore, and losing confidence in my ability to meet my goal of crossing the finish line. As another runner was about to pass me, she asked, “How are you doing?” I told her that I didn’t know if I could keep going. To that she replied, “Of course you can! Just put one foot in front of the other!" Success is more easily achieved with support, and I am committed to supporting my clients as they work toward meeting their therapeutic goals.
