I specialize in working with those who are struggling with a life crisis, and provide 3 different virtual groups specialized in anger management, women problems, and clinical supervision to students. To recover, every day we make choices that either lead us toward wellness or choices that lead us further down the road of our illness. Whether it is premarital counseling, couples counseling, individual or young adult counseling services you seek, if you are open to change, I am open to working with you to find solutions and answers to your situation in office or online. Help is available for all needs of care.

The past is in the present and the body remembers. With you guiding the sessions, I help you identify your earliest coping mechanisms so you can gain insight into why you have difficulties in the present. We can engage in "talk therapy" or I can use my skills and training in EMDR therapy to help you heal past trauma and to prepare for a brighter future! I have added two more therapist to the business. We have an Autism Support Group and a Soldier Support Group. If we can't help you, we will find someone who can.

Feeling anxious or depressed? Maybe not sure exactly why? I work with clients facing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, addictions, relationships, and trauma. I have a 2-pronged approach. I first work with my clients in identifying sufficient calming and coping mechanisms to deal with the here and the now. The next step is to map out the core issues that are causing the presenting concerns, and create a plan in healing them from the source. I have treated many clients who have been in therapy for years without actually tackling the root of the problem.

I am a Masters level Professional Counselor pursuing licensure (LCSW). I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychotherapy. I also offer Professional Life Coaching and am a Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC).

Searching for a therapist can be scary, time-consuming, and intimidating, but congratulations to you for making the effort. This demonstrates huge willingness on your part! I believe that every person already possesses strengths and skills to heal, but sometimes layers of trauma or pain can make it difficult to do so leading to unwanted symptoms or behaviors such as anxiety, depression, addiction, etc. My approach focuses less on a person’s diagnosis and more on finding triggers, processing trauma, and establishing goals and healthy coping skills.

It is my privilege to witness my clients as they gain the skills to treat suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, extreme emotions, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, trauma, perfectionism, inflexibility and loneliness. These skills ultimately lead to connection with themselves, their partners, spouses and others in their lives and help them build a life worth living.

Making the decision to seek help is the first step to realizing that you have the power and choice to create the life you desire. Work can be stressful, school can be hard, raising children is challenging and relationships change. All these challenges can have an intense impact on your mood, thoughts and motivation to participate in daily activities. It is the passion of SSA Counseling to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be, to find resolution regardless to what that may look like.

Hi, my name is Taylor Dasher. My ideal client is someone who entrusts me with their time, personal life experiences, and allowing me to be a part of their journey. Life in general maneuvers in unpredictable directions-up, down, even diagonally! Sometimes it is hard to process those directions and adapt to them. Despite the incidents that occur in life, what can we do to adapt to it while living a comfortable life that is fit for us? What can we do to not live life based on the "problem." Let's work together to find that starting point, decipher the presenting problem and make it to the end goal!

Would you like a safe place to explore who you are and where you want to be? In connecting with one another, we find healing and open ourselves to who we really are. Sometimes it can feel that a diagnosis or set of circumstances has defined or labeled us and set us apart from others. From childhood traumas, anxiety and depression to situational crises and life transitions - such as loss of a loved one, relationship issues, and personal changes - we can become isolated and feel misunderstood. Together we will look for the meaning within these experiences to find your heart's path.
