My name is Kathy Taylor and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist working with clients statewide in California via telehealth. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples specializing in trauma, anxiety, and depression. I utilize a psychodynamic approach which means that symptoms such as anxiety and depression, typically are indicators of underlying emotional suffering that may require attention. My role is to empathically pay attention and tend to those difficult experiences as one tells their story.
I typically work with those who have experienced interpersonal trauma, such as attachment ruptures, emotional abuse, sexual harm, betrayal, and loss of loved ones. Additionally, I love to work with parents providing practical parenting strategies and emotional support.
The majority of our time in the first session will be spent with me hearing the parts of your story you feel comfortable sharing. I may gently ask questions to get to know you better. and find out how you have been feeling lately. I may spend a few minutes providing more in-depth information about my psychodynamic approach and reasons I find it effective.
