I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice since 2001. I care deeply about helping my clients work through challenges in their lives, with sensitivity and humor. Everyone has challenges but sometimes involving a mental health professional is helpful to produce needed or desired change. I take into account the influences of psychology, biology, culture, family context, and spiritual/religious considerations to find answers to your psychological and relationship questions/concerns. I help my clients find healing and new ways to see the world and strengthen their relationships with themselves and with others.

Couples often long to feel close but get stuck in their problems. It can seem like there’s no way out of emotional conflicts, sexual difficulties, past mistakes in the relationship, or other issues. I believe in healing that gets to the root – healing that is deep, self-reflective, compassionate, honest, and real. I work with clients and their partners and family members to heal from difficult past experiences, trauma, and current conflicts toward brighter futures, stronger relationships, and a more secure sense of self.

We cannot go through this life alone. I believe positive, warm, and honest relationships are vital for navigating the challenges of life. My goal is to help you learn how to foster these types of relationships, as well as work through any obstacles that prevent you from having the relationships you want. Working with couples and families is of particular interest to me due to my graduate training which heavily focused on relationship therapy.

I've provided over 10,000 hours of therapy and like Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life." I managed LDS Family Services for 13 years and loved directing the 12-step Addiction Recovery Program in Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania. I've been recruited by multiple residential treatment centers, a hospital, a skilled nursing facility, and by an IOP program assessing and treating substance abuse and domestic violence.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. My heart goes out to those who are struggling to find hope in their lives. Is that you? Have you felt like giving up? When everyone else around you seems to be happy, you do your best to put on a smile and act as if everything is okay, but it isn’t. You are struggling. Maybe you are feeling depressed or anxious. Maybe you are struggling in your relationships including your marriage, but don’t know why. Maybe you need healing from something someone else has done to you (including your spouse).

I work with individuals who are seriously committed to living fully. My practice primarily focuses on sexual addiction. If you struggle with sexual addiction, you need someone who understands it, been through it and has a plan for you. That's me! When one has cancer, they turn to the specialists in cancer. It is crucial that you let those who specialize in this disease help you through the many moving parts. I understand this addiction - it's my passion to help as many people as possible! Many of my clients are impacted by sexual addiction - I get it, and I'm here to help you or a loved one through the storms. (www.taylorlyman.com)

I strive to be relationship focused in all I do as a counselor, even in my individual work. I believe the research and have observed how loneliness hurts: we thrive when connected and struggle when isolated. I utilize EFT and the Gottman Method with couples; I focus on family work with children because individual play therapy is often unhelpful, in the long-term; Filial Play Therapy and PCIT are my favorites models for parents with their children. I utilize ACT and Arbinger principles in most of my work. I foster connections with my clients but especially between clients and their people, including their spiritual Connection.

I specialize in treating clients struggling with pornography addiction, behavioral disorders with adolescent males, depression, anxiety, spiritual identity, and other common concerns that bring people to therapy. I'm especially adept at working with clients who want to draw from their religious background to find healing, with a particular emphasis on working with those from the LDS faith. I particularly enjoy working with college aged men struggling with addiction, adolescent boys, and premarital and newlywed couples.
