Biography

Tanya Crabb is senior psychologist with the UNLV Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine’s Well-Being Program. She specializes in combating PTSD, traumatic response, and other mental health concerns via existential, humanistic, and interpersonal treatment.

Crabb is a first-generation college graduate, Jamaican immigrant, Marine Corps veteran, and author. As a clinical trauma professional, she has made guiding military veterans, women, and marginalized populations through life’s challenges with resilience and strength a priority.
