My training includes: Somatic Experiencing, Janina Fisher’s Structural Dissociation Model, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, .
I believe in all people’s innate capacity to heal. To me, all symptoms that we experience whether it be chronic pain, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, etc can be explained by trauma. Trauma does not have to be big events. Trauma can be if we are not attuned to emotionally as children or if our parents have their own unprocessed trauma—this sort of trauma often leads to deep seeded beliefs that we are unloveable and bad. Our healing comes from teaching our parts that we are loveable and accepted just as we are.

I partner with individuals who are dealing with issues related to anxiety or mood, sleep difficulties, chronic pain/persistent pain, trauma, or stress.

We leverage the power of these interconnections to help you figure out and move in the direction of what's really important to you in your life.

Dr. Taylor has significant experience working with individuals with addiction, trauma, infidelity, and chronic pain or illness impacting sexuality. She understands how one’s life can change in the blink of an eye, and how goals and values can shift when life does.

How an individual responds is neither right nor wrong, because everyone has their own process and journey in life.

As a therapist who provides counseling for those struggling with chronic pain, ADHD, trauma, and anxiety, I have a keen understanding of how these conditions can impact all aspects of an individual's life. The lack of validation around experiences often add to the frustration and isolation. Coping with small and large issues, finding appropriate healthcare, and maintaining social relationships can be difficult. These issues can make it easy to lose sight of one’s goals and feel overwhelmed.

My goal is for you to be more relaxed with less pain, anxiety, and stress.
Many of my clients need help with anxiety, pain, bad habits, relationships, sexuality, fears, and phobias. Issues my clients have and specific treatment areas (see my web site) range from tooth grinding, reducing chronic pain, improving performance in sports, stopping smoking, weight loss, anxiety about medical or dental procedures, sex issues, sleep problems, spiritual conflicts, setting goals and addressing mental "blocks," resolving past issues in life, to improving relationships. I help people learn to relax and how to have personal "tools" to "dial down" stress, pain, and anxiety to become healthy, happy, and centered.

I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up, in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I primarily specialize in working with those who are experiencing agoraphobia, anxiety (general and social), depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem issues, grief and chronic pain, among other issues. I am LGBTQIA+ and gender-affirming, and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability.

Trauma can show up as anxiety, depression, addictions, physical pain and illness, and relationship issues.
I use a holistic approach to healing that includes mind, body and spirit. I have a particular focus on women's health issues, sexual abuse, and PTSD. Every pain, trauma, and obstacle we experience in life has information to share with us. The most difficult times we face can be truly transformative if we know how to listen to them. Sometimes we can get lost down these turbulent roads and my job is to help you navigate the path that you are already on.

It is the intimate opportunity to get into relationship with psychic organization, pain, and suffering with the hope of understanding and overcoming these issues with greater creative freedom.
We are all alive and trying to learn something about living; we live the way that we feel. We do this automatically (and whether we know it or not) in relationship: in relating to our self and to others. Therefore, my philosophy is everything is emotional and relational and personal; everything matters.

Carr works with fears, phobias, self-defeating behaviors, current emotional pain & deadness, past wounds, relationships, parenting & child problems, communication skills, denial & defensiveness, thinking skills, self-discovery, self-actualization, and spiritual development using a coaching format.
Dr. Carr's Coaching uses a unique blend of Cognitive-Behavioral, Gestalt, Integral, Primal, Transpersonal, & Family coaching techniques to focus on natural growth & healing, thus expanding the common central emphasis on disorders & symptom reduction. Clients change as they heal their pain, get emotionally nourished, recognize what is toxic, and become authentically themselves. Because I now live in Germany, I have to practice as a Coach and not as a Psychologist.
