Teletherapy for Charlotte, NC

My name is Taylor Cummins Vinson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC, NCC) with six years of clinical experience. My counseling experience includes outpatient counseling for clients who have experienced recent trauma, experienced domestic violence, or have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I typically utilize Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy during sessions and create an environment of positive regard and empathy. I believe goal setting is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client.

I have a vested interest and the expertise of 20+ years to help patients improve self-esteem, self-worth, & mood symptoms, as well as navigate the complexities of relationships and trauma. Whether you have been in therapy extensively throughout the years or are a beginning client, you may have emotional, interpersonal, thinking and behavioral patterns you would like to make significant and lasting changes to. This is why treatment with me spans several research based stages including skill building; accessing internal resources for bringing about change; and accessing and changing neural networks to bring about healing.

I work with female and male teens, young adults, and adults who are struggling with meeting their goals, maintaining healthy relationships, identity issues, and navigating the transitions and stressors life throws. I also enjoy working with couples who have hit road blocks and need guidance and a third party perspective. My approach is interpersonal and I offer a space for clients to gain feedback and accountability through the development of a strong therapeutic alliance. I lead an adult Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group and incorporate skills training into my practice.

Trauma doesn’t often show it's effects immediately or plainly. It is often hidden in patterns of sleepless nights, negative thinking, anxious worry, and feelings of despair and emptiness. It casts a long shadow that begins to de-color every aspect of life. Activities that were previously enjoyed are scheduled less often. You've noticed not only effects but that it has changed who you are. You’ve noticed that the way you feel about the world & others is very different. The thoughts you have about yourself are no better. And every part of life is categorized by whether it happened “before”. “Before the accident, before the bullying".

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker having experience working with children, adolescents and adults. The primary focus of my practice has been trauma recovery. I have also provided services in group settings equiping adults, children and families with empowerment and behavioral modification strategies. Although my clinical nucleus is trauma, I have also helped individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral modification, and Borderline Personality Disorder.

My passion is for helping people grow their self-confidence, improve communication skills, and build resilience. I work with Women, adolescents, and couples who are experiencing anxiety, low-self esteem, and stressful life transitions. Through working with me, clients enhance their current coping skills, establish new effective coping skills, and heal past trauma. As a LGBTQIA+ allied therapist I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to everyone who comes to see me. This also includes people from various faiths and cultural backgrounds.

Welcome! I’m a multicultural EMDR therapist who specializes in trauma/PTSD, eating disorders, anxiety and depression. My goal is to help you live more fully, have confidence in your self-worth, and have more peace in body and mind. Maybe you feel overwhelmed and unsafe in the world around you?

If you are struggling and feel stuck, maybe it’s time to get some help. Let’s work together to develop a plan that will help you feel more stable and confident in navigating life.

I empathize for today's teens & adults with depression, anxiety, substance use, & autism with the ever-changing world. We are faced with immediate decision-making & strain, which is not fair when we're trying to figure who we are, much less what they want to become in our adulthood. We typically feel lost, confused, misunderstood, or having challenges communicating to others their needs struggle and could benefit with supports in and outside our homes and schools. Also, as adults, we are not sure if we are being "the best parent." I want to help those with depression, anxiety, & ASD build connectivity within themselves and others.

I applaud you for taking the first and most important step in reaching out for help, especially during these difficult times. The major focus of my practice is assisting adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma, whether that is a singular episode or prolonged complex trauma. I also work with Depression, Anxiety, Grief, and major life transitions. I meet the client where their current needs are through various treatment modalities and approaches. I have expertise in CBT, DBT, EFT, and TF-CBT. I only provide individual therapy, so please do not contact me for couples/marital counseling.

Are racing thoughts and worrying keeping you up at night? Do you struggle with low self-esteem? Do you feel overwhelmed with emotional disturbance and have a hard time coping in a healthy way? Is your past trauma holding you back? It may be hard for you to relax. You may find it challenging to trust yourself or others. Relationships seem difficult to navigate. However, you don’t have to live with severe anxiety and unhappiness. You don’t have to be held back by what happened to you. Therapy can be a helpful way to learn healthy and effective coping skills, process emotions, get support, and work through trauma.

You learned that to get through life, you must be perfect, “proper,” and stay invisible. But operating down this path comes at a cost: overwhelming pressure, self-hatred, and feeling like an imposter in your skin. Belonging has never been easy for me, especially as a child of Asian immigrant parents. The pressure to be "enough" for others or to offset the guilt I felt for all the sacrifices my parents made to succeed in the United States has contributed to my resilience and anxious attempts to hide my imperfections. So, this is an invitation to those who want permission to mess up, be imperfect, and recover from unmet needs.

Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee and lets talk. I am incredibly proud of you for taking the first step towards your mental health journey. Life is too short to let our trauma control us, bad relationships consume us, and have our anxiety and depression overwhelm us. That is why I want to help you achieve the happiness in life that you deserve. I want you to find your purpose and flourish. I work with those who are struggling with life or work stress, relationship issues, anxiety and depression, body image, low self-esteem, and existential issues.
