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 name is Daedalys Wilson. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I have been working with adults, adolescents, children and couples in a therapeutic manner for over 18 years. I can competently assist others with challenges associated with depression , anxiety, trauma, relationships and parenting skills. I have had the opportunity to help others with facing challenges in their lives that have been overwhelming and assisted them with those issues becoming manageable in their daily lives.

I became a therapist after years of working in the performing arts in New York City. My work continues to be influenced by my trainings in dance and somatic modalities from that time. I describe my therapy style as warm, direct, and open, all housed within a creative sensibility. Folks I work with hold a variety of intersecting identities and bring a wide variety of concerns, stressors, and challenges into session. I work with anxiety, depression , trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns and more.

I have over 25 years of experience in treating adults, teens, and children struggling with depression , anxiety, divorce, trauma, substance abuse, self-harm, ADHD, behavior/academic problems, and eating disorders. My speciality has been working with adolescents. I’ve developed mental health programs for high-risk youth, and have extensive background in helping people with overwhelming stress. While working with youth, I will also assist parents in strengthening their family relationships and parenting skills.

Over the last 17 years, I have worked within schools, Behavioral Health agencies, and Family Court as a Court Mediator. I enjoy working with adults and children.

Are you feeling depressed , anxious, or insecure in your current situation? Do you struggle with feeling sad or blue, or with letting go of trauma from the past? Do you notice what is wrong more than right? Do your thoughts tend to loop and get stuck in your mind? Are you lonely, indecisive, questioning of your purpose and goals? Are you in a life transition, struggling with feelings that come up related to trauma, grief, relationship, social life? Are you longing for a safe and private place to unburden yourself of thoughts and feelings you've been carrying inside? Does life sometimes feel like too much to handle on your own?

Is it time for you to make some changes? Want to prevent divorce? Having trouble just talking to each other? Feeling depressed , anxious, hopeless?

I am an eternal optimist, and believe strongly in the practice of training people to empower themselves. I employ behavioral processing for anxiety and depression , and trauma processing using EMDR. My work includes coaching Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, and I believe strongly in helping people develop self-care regimens to prioritize themselves. My focus often includes working to assist people in finding a balance between work, home, school, family, socialization, and physical health. Goal setting is an important component of therapy, so we work together to establish therapeutic goals that are reasonable and attainable.

Living your life fully is an ongoing process of learning how to allow your authentic self to survive and thrive despite life's challenges. When we are hurting, we forget that at the core of our being we have inner greatness, unique gifts, and a legacy that needs to be liberated and brought forth into this life. When we are wounded we tend to get trapped by the defenses we build to protect ourselves. These ways of protecting ourselves cause relationship issues, create ongoing patterns of pain and conflict for ourselves and others, and prevent us from living fully who we are. In the journey together we move at your pace in compassionately exploring and liberating your inner authentic self.

One of my greatest passions in life is my work as a therapist. With warmth, humor and compassion, I help others to heal and move forward in their lives. Perhaps, you are feeling "stuck"- overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety or depression , relationship issues, chronic illness, loneliness, grief or a vague sense that something feels "off." Coping with life's daily stresses can take a toll on your quality of life, making it increasingly difficult to find & experience meaning and joy. These are difficult times, difficult issues, & sometimes it's hard to get through them alone.
