Meet Taryn Abrahams, MFT
Behavioral Specialist, Leadership Coach & Workplace Culture Strategist
Empower Behavioral Services was founded by Taryn Abrahams, MFT, a workplace behavior and leadership expert with nearly two decades of experience helping organizations strengthen communication, reduce conflict, and build emotionally intelligent leaders.
With a background in psychotherapy and behavioral science, Taryn bridges the gap between psychology and business — guiding companies to create workplaces where people feel respected, valued, and protected.
Blending Behavioral Science with Leadership Strategy
For over 25 years, Taryn Abrahams has helped leaders and teams unlock their full potential through a deeper understanding of human behavior.
Her work centers on the belief that effective communication and emotional intelligence are the cornerstones of sustainable leadership. By combining the science of behavior with real-world corporate insight, she helps organizations improve performance, strengthen relationships, and foster a psychologically safe culture where people thrive.
Taryn’s expertise includes leadership communication training, team coaching, and employee development programs that empower organizations to cultivate trust, clarity, and engagement at every level.
Great leadership isn't about titles — it's about how people feel in your presence.
This belief is at the heart of everything Taryn teaches. She helps leaders understand that their impact is measured not just by results, but by the relationships they build, the trust they earn, and the emotional tone they set for their teams.
How this philosophy comes to life:
- Teams build stronger connections and resolve conflict productively.
- Leaders learn to communicate with empathy and clarity.
- Workplaces become environments of psychological safety, engagement, and retention.
A Psychotherapy-Informed Approach to Leadership
Taryn’s method is rooted in behavioral psychology and shaped by years of working with both individuals and organizations. Unlike traditional corporate training, her programs focus on the human dynamics behind workplace success — emotions, communication styles, and behavioral patterns.

Thank you so much for driving two hours to be with us yesterday. I believe yesterday’s meeting was very productive and it is already yielding very positive results. The tension seems to have slipped away. We really needed a session to vent our grievances. I guess it was a great Festivus in July celebration!! I had a very nice discussion this morning with both Bernie and Destiny. We are all looking forward to the next chapter.

There are a lot of consultants that do what you do, but they don’t do it like you. You are sincere, you listen,, and you take into consideration, head and heart.
