Daniel Tapanes, LMFT, DMFT, MedFT

Dr. Tapanes is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with his doctoral concentration in Medical Family Therapy. Dr. Tapanes understands our bodies to primarily be Emotional Regulatory Systems (ERS). When this system is not in balance, we not only feel it emotionally, but our physical health is also compromised. Dr. Tapanes works from a biopsychosocial framework and therefore structures his treatment to effect physical and emotional health outcomes through better management of the Emotional Regulatory System. Dr. Tapanes is the creator of the MEND (Mastering Each New Direction) model of treatment which is used in outpatient and hospital settings to treat health related quality of life issues for both the pediatric and adult chronically ill populations. Dr. Tapanes has published in peer reviewed journals research findings on the MEND model as an intervention and its effectiveness outcomes. Outside of his work in MEND, Dr. Tapanes sees patients who struggle with the negative physical and emotional effects of a chronic illness, patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI), conversion disorders, and somatic disorders. Dr. Tapanes was the 2012 recipient of the Mental Health Community Advocate Award presented by the County of San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health, and received the President’s Award from Loma Linda University School of Behavioral Science in 2016.
