Hi, I’m Taylere. If you tend to overthink, feel anxious, or struggle to slow your mind down, you’re not alone. Starting therapy can feel like a big step and if you’re here, you’re already doing something brave. You might wonder what to say or worry you’ll do therapy “wrong” (you won’t). My goal is to create a warm, real, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are messy thoughts, big feelings, and everything in between.

Mental, emotional, and physical energies trying to work through trauma, seemingly stuck on playback loop? Feeling stuck in a rut?

When that thing called LIFE becomes heavy and difficult to navigate, our mental health is often what we forget to focus on. Our mental and emotional needs are placed at the end of our never-ending to-do list. We put it at the end of the list because we have more pressing things to address. If we work from the premise that our mind controls our movements and we have so many movements to make, then our minds would be one of the first things that we need to address. My mission is to assist you along your journey to mental wellness. Counseling provides an opportunity to process thoughts and feelings to help you get back to you.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
