Clinical psychologist Kimberly Tangen cares for patients at Adventist Health

Dr. Tangen majored in Spanish and psychology at Hamline University in Saint Paul, Minn. She earned her Master’s in psychology and organizational behavior, and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. She sought a cross-cultural emphasis after living in Mexico City and in Bogota, Colombia.

“I enjoy the language and the culture, as well as using the language,” she says.

Dr. Tangen grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis. She says the Central Valley reminds her of home because of the agriculture. “I’m a vegetarian, so I love that there is such an abundance of fruits and vegetables here.”  

Dr. Tangen most looks forward to helping community members build on their strengths and empowering them to live their lives to the fullest.
