Teletherapy for Chicago, IL

You are a high achieving professional, but you are still not fulfilled. You're not a quitter, but something needs to change. Feeling exhausted, worried, angry, stuck, and/or frustrated have become the norm. Perhaps you are having trouble concentrating or the workload, anxiety, and pressure are finally taking a toll. You present well on paper, so it's hard to believe that anyone could understand. You want to be excited about work and maybe even life again, or at least feel less anxious and depressed, but nothing you’ve tried so far has worked.

You are enough. Your life is worth living. People love you deeply. Your existence is, itself, a wonder. A miracle you're even here speaking to whomever you're speaking to, hurting however you're hurting, laughing over whatever. You series of unlikely events. You star-hearted little fiend. You've made a mess of everything. That's part of being alive. Now we will fix it. Which is also part of being alive. You're doing just fine. - Author unknown

Hello! I’m Dr. Kala Taylor ,(She), I currently work private practice with (The Psychology Center) in Chicago. Previously I worked psychotherapy in the State Government Correctional setting under the exempt licensure title Clinical Psychologist/Sr Psych. Inmates under my care have described my therapeutic approach as "nonjudgmental" and "compassionate." My personal experiences have led me to cultivate a deep empathy for all beings. and I’m committed to being (not just inclusive but) welcoming towards “others.” My experience working in mental health has led me to focus on working to help individuals with personal challenges.

Having issues with anxiety, past traumas, or just not feeling like yourself? Let us work together on a path to heal restoratively. I believe in the power of restorative practices and that each and every one of us has a story and I believe in the power of having our stories heard. I also believe that we all deserve a space where that story can be heard without judgment, fear or trepidation. I want to hear yours and walk beside you as you share your story and work through your journey of healing and restoration. I won't ever perceive to be the expert in your life but I will always be honest, receptive and give you my best.

Anyone who is looking to find someone they can trust to talk about personal and difficult issues will feel comfortable seeking therapy at my office. I work to guide others to reach their goals not force or judge. I feel comfortable working with adults and teens who may be depressed, bi-polar or have anxiety concerns. Clients can expect honest and direct feedback in addition to support.

Do you feel like something needs to change in your life, but you can’t seem to figure out what that “something” is or where to begin? I would be honored to partner with you to access those things that bring you joy, clarity, and peace. I enjoy working with adults open to change and eager to develop patterns of thinking and behaviors that support the life they truly desire. Additionally, I specialize in addressing the unique challenges faced by BIPOC. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s partner to create the blueprint for your next chapter. There is endless joy that lives within you, and it’s ready to be unleashed.

What's your definition of birthright? As we grow, family, culture, and society can assign meaning that does not serve our best interest but theirs. Devastatingly, we're often taught to point the finger back at ourselves when things go wrong. But I believe we heal and thrive when we nurture healthy intrinsic (fundamental to who we are) connection to ourselves and others. This work creates a safety net allowing us to build self-esteem and adapt without losing our personal power. Pursuing the arts with a former career as a performer, choreographer, and artistic director, I strongly relate to "fitting-in while trying to stand-out".

I work with clients who feel burned out - whether at work, in school, or any other area of life - but who have responsibilities they can't just walk away from. I understand the challenges that come with trying to thrive under alienating, capitalistic conditions.

SPACE for new BCBS Blue Choice/ PPO and Aetna PPO Illinois clients. It's an honor to be trusted with some of the most difficult and personal areas of people's lives. I respect how challenging it can be to come to therapy and speak to a stranger. Many people say they don't want a therapist who "sits quietly and nods" while they talk. I provide a comfortable and safe space for people to share their concerns, and our time together can be conversational and direct. I can be an active partner in your choice to move forward in your life. Therapy is a place to explore together, improve the quality of your life and expand your choices.

I am a client-centered therapist, so my main goal is to meet you where you are and support you through the change process.

My general approach seeks to honor the emotions and experiences brought into a session while acknowledging the impact that systems and experiences have had on our development and identity. Our experiences in relationship with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us can be the source of pain but also the source of profound healing and recovery.

Samantha McGlumphy enjoys working with guests who are open to feedback and willing to try new approaches to their issues or struggles. Also, due to her belief that the guest is the “expert” in their own lives, an individual who wants to be an active collaborator in their treatment will strengthen the therapeutic relationship and elicit better outcomes. The most impactful experience of her career path so far has been her exposure and volunteer/mission work with undocumented immigrants. This includes teaching English as a second language to undocumented individuals and traveling to the border to engage in an immersion experience.

Self-awareness, self-compassion, self-esteem? Resilience, effective functioning, self-care? Connection, authenticity, belonging? Are these things you’ve realized you lack and want more of? These are directions of growth I hope for you and each of my clients, to be defined and directed by us collaboratively in therapy. One of the first things I'll ask you is how you want your life and your mental health to improve within the next few months. I use an integrative, client-centered approach, weaving together CBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), compassion-focused, psychodynamic and relational interventions. Licensed in IL and NY.
