Dr. Jane Tinker, PHD

An exceptionally intelligent, pleasant person who brings wisdom, experience, & a passion for her work to each session. My personal measure of a great person is someone who can bring great change to your life. Dr. Tinker is a great person.

I seen Jane from 2017-2018. She helped me out so much. She practically saved my life and my marriage even though she doesn’t know it. She diagnosed with me with bipolar and I was able to get on the right medication for it and it’s been a lifesaver. I also suffer from other things and she took the time to listen. I’m hopefully moving back to Bremerton this summer and would love to go back to see Jane.

I find Dr. Tinker to be spot on when I am in a crisis. She's warm, intelligent, reliable and trustworthy. She is helping me cope with anxiety and PTSD plus a toxic work environment. I like that she actively interacts with me rather than take notes and listen. I recommend her.

Dr. tinker remembers and listens to me lament over issues. I would highly recommend her. She is compassionate and skilled.

I went to Jane for about 3 months and I agree with the statement that it was difficult the schedule with her. I also didn't find her effective/focused. She went out of town/had something going on just about every month, which made it difficult to stay on track. In addition, it took 5 sessions to get through my intake, at $160 an hour. After that, she spent one session doing EMDR with me. The next session, she quizzed me to see how much the EMDR had helped. It turned out that it had somehow made it worse? I wondered what that meant for me, but she didn't offer any advice/solution/comment on it. We basically spent every session after that chit-chatting about nothing related to my treatment. She didn't bring up the issue again. I went back for those sessions because I thought that maybe after like one session to let me relax, she'd initiate me getting back to treating the issues that I came in for. But she did not. Waste of money.

Sessions with Jane Tinker, PhD have proven to be a warm and effective way to treat my PTSD which was accompanied by a Traumatic Brain Injury. She has developed expertise yet she is effective because she listens to you. I have been utilizing her services since 2000.

I've been seeing Jane for awhile. I've literally never had a psychologist who is so absent. She might be educated, but this is not a field she excels in. I've seen many psychologists over the years, and sadly, my experience with Jane has been the worst. For 160 dollars an hour, you'd think she would be able to exercise SOME of the things she has learned in school. I do not recommend this doctor.

I could not do less than highly recommend Dr Tinker as a counsellor and therapist. She is an exceptionally attentive and caring professional. Helped me, an older male, get through some very tough issues. One is not just a passing patient.
