Tenzin Y Drongpa

Tenzin grew up in the foothills of the Himalayas. He studied Buddhist meditation for almost 2 years, and he has 25 years of experience in mental health and psychiatric nursing. Before joining our team, he worked for 17 years in a state psychiatric facility in Chicago as Mental Health Technician (MHT) and Registered Nurse, then spent 7 years as mental health nurse in Colorado. Tenzin believes in the basic goodness of every human being. He believes every person has the potential to overcome distress and become the best version of themselves if cared for and nurtured with love and compassion. He strongly believes in the science of neuroplasticity, epigenetic and emotional contagion, and that everything in life is impermanent so there is hope for everybody. Outside of work, his hobbies include hiking, skiing, paddle boarding, golfing, and traveling.
