Therapists in Chico, CA

Finding a therapist can be a challenging endeavor. It takes true vulnerability and strength to take the first step to reach out to someone to share the most intimate parts of your life. As a therapist I strive to support you through your journey of navigating life challenges and obstacles. I place and emphasis on creating highly personalized and tailored therapeutic services to help you attain the personal growth and resiliency you desire.

I know how challenging life can be, how difficult it is to reach out during tough times and let another person into your struggles, pain, and story. But letting safe people into your life is necessary for healing, because we are not meant to navigate this life alone. It takes time to heal, and it takes support and effort on the journey. But an environment with a compassionate and trained confidant, makes all the difference. You can create the life you are hoping for! Together, we will create a safe place to help you process your pain & create a more joy filled future.

Hello, I'm Joe Taylor, LMFT. I am an solo practice therapist that accepts cash pay patients as well as Anthem Blue Cross PPO (out of network). My focus is with couples who are having relationship challenges. But I also work with individual adults who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety and phobias. I have seen a considerable number of Campfire victims and am sensitive to the needs of those who have suffered from the event or repercussions after the event.

I have experience working with youth, adults, couples and families. I have provided support to individuals that have experienced trauma in many domains of their lives. I have 6 years experience working with youth, adults and individuals impacted by trauma, stressors and foster care.

You've been doing all the right things. You are a good friend, you work hard, you love deeply, and sometimes things feel like they run along smoothly while other times it all falls to pieces and you feel like nothing you do is right. You don't really want to throw your hands in the air and quit, but now and then the fantasy of running off to a tropical island and starting over sounds luxurious and relieving. There's hope! You CAN have the peaceful life you dream about right here in this life that you're currently living without throwing in the towel.

We all get caught in suffering sometimes. We all lose our way and struggle with finding the next step. If you relate to that, I can help provide support and shine a light on the places that can change. I can help you reprocess trauma, navigate difficult relationships, and deal with Codependency, especially through EMDR and Mindfulness. We can also work to address the resulting depression and anxiety you face. Life invites us to move through the old, open up, and learn new ways of stepping into this present moment with increased strength and empowerment.

Hello, welcome to my practice. I offer mental health services in California and Washington via telehealth. I have been working with youth, adults, and families since 2010.

Is something holding you back from your best life? If you feel stuck or trapped you are not alone. Today’s world can be overwhelming. Despite global connectivity many are more alone than ever.

Together we can face your past, improve your present, and prepare for your future.

Sometimes we feel emotionally numb because of past or present experiences. Maybe the memory of your experiences trigger discomfort, isolation, or thoughts of regret, & you’re tired of being controlled by your past. You want to feel happy & show-up fully for your friends, family, & partner, but you just can’t seem to shake it off enough to be present. I am here to face the struggle with you & to tell you that depression, anxiety & trauma are highly treatable. Reaching out can be scary and unsettling, but you don't have to do it alone.

Please email only, easiest to reach me. I’m offering telehealth only at this time. I have been working with individuals and families for two decades. My current specialties include individuals and elders. My training is primarily attachment-based, relational, and emotionally focused therapy as well as jungian focus. And I am fascinated with how we are going to all age well in this culture, so I very much enjoy working with people adjusting to later life. I have also learned since a fairly young age that there is a ton of grief we all need to attend to, I appreciate offering support while people are dealing with pain.

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Life can be incredibly overwhelming at times and there are moments when we can all feel alone, directionless or hopeless. We can go thru experiences that are incomprehensible and devastating, while at other times we may feel stuck and stagnant, bogged down by some unknown force, just simply not knowing what to do. Whether you are new to therapy or returning due to life's ever-changing circumstances, you do not need to go thru your experience alone.

When you've been walking along in life, doing the best you can, and it seems your best is never good enough. You're either letting yourself down or disappointing someone you care about. Regardless, the things around you just aren't going like they're supposed to. You're either walking through quicksand or a field of landmines. And sometimes, for some people, it's not those polar opposites, it's an absence of joy. There's a statement that goes "not bad enough to leave, and not good enough to stay." Life isn't horrible and it's not great, it's just meh. And you're getting kind of tired of meh.

I have over 35 years of experience (and training) in Disordered Eating. Although it is my specialty, I love working with the general population as well.
