Who is Dr. Taustine?

Dr. Taustine is a licensed and certified (clinical) psychologist, psychoanalyst, hypnotherapist, psychiatric/mental health clinical specialist, and RN. This all means that she brings many diverse years of education, training, and experience to every interaction she has with her patients and supervisees.

She is married, with two young adult children and two rescue dogs. She lives on Long Island, NY. In her free time, she enjoys reading fiction, watching game shows, spending time with family, friends, and her pooches, writing poetry, fiction,  and professional literature, daydreaming, napping, painting in acrylics, and dabbling at gardening.  (Dr. Taustine was previously known as Dr. Lucie M. Kay, and this is the name most insurance companies still  have on file).
