Valerie L. Taylor

Change is a process, but I will be here to help you reach a vibrant, healthy and genuine presence in your life. I use authenticity, compassion, empathy and optimism to support my clients in making the life changes that they are seeking. My areas of focus include: anxiety, depression, grief, life-transitions, self-esteem, burnout, caregiver fatigue, trauma, people of color and LGBTQ+. Drawing from cognitive behavioral, narrative, eclectic therapeutic approaches and a culturally meaningful lens, clients are supported as they find solutions to emotional and psychological challenges. I believe that a balanced, therapeutic relationship is key to promoting mental health growth and healing. I draw from my experience as a professor, trauma-informed yoga instructor, teacher trainer and community health educator and advocate to work with my clients to create a holistic means of addressing their struggles in a supportive space. I will honor the step you take. Together we will work to create new experiences in your healing process. We can meet either personally, or through teletherapy, to address your needs at this time. We all need support at various times in our lives and I know it can be hard taking the first step. I am also listed on Psychology Today.
