Meet Taylor, a member of our Counseling Associates Team and a Masters candidate in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Governors State University. Taylor has been with Counseling Works as our Practice Coordinator on the Intake Team since 2021, and she is excited to be in this new role where she will be providing individual counseling for clients ages 6-50 years old. Taylor specializes in Anxiety, Depression, Grief/Loss, Life Changes/Adjustments, Self-Esteem/Self Worth, Stress Management, Trauma/PTSD, and Women’s Issues.
Taylor looks forward to building upon her experiences by working with a wide range of clients. She provides a warm, welcoming, and safe atmosphere for her clients through her accepting and non-judgmental demeanor. Her primary treatment approach is psychodynamic, though she also utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques during sessions. She believes that there is a deeply rooted connection between a client’s past experiences in childhood and their current issues and mindset. Taylor strives to meet her clients where they are at, with the understanding that the past played a very important role in how they got to where they are today.
Taylor is trustworthy and reliable and wants her clients to know that they will have at least one constant in their lives. She partners with her clients during sessions, laying the groundwork for coping mechanisms to be used outside of sessions. This allows for her clients to continue to become the best possible versions of themselves. After experiencing a significant loss in her own life, Taylor has found meaning in advocating for those who experience mental health issues. She wants her clients to know that they are not alone on their journey.
Outside of work, Taylor has been a huge Taylor Swift fan since 2010 and has been to almost every tour. She loves to read, participate in yoga, go for walks outdoors, and collect vinyls, which has been an exciting new hobby. She values her family, friends and self-care immensely.
